Summary
Jordan gets in his car at Anfield and doesn’t quite realize that he’s getting on the M62 instead of driving home until he’s already twenty minutes out. Heading east, of course, going to fucking Manchester, and it’s embarrassing and infuriating enough that he thinks about taking the next exit and getting himself turned around and going home properly.

Summary
Jack's got cheap taste in beer for a rich man. Jordan nurses the one bottle as long as he can, then gives up and switches to something fizzy and too-sweet. Maybe he can leave something of his own preference here sometime. Maybe Jack won't mind if he asks.

Summary
Short training today, says the message under Jack's name. You?
It feels like Jordan's whole chest lights up, just for that little message. He forgets at least half the pain he's in. Just a meeting and physio, maintenance day for me. About to head home.
The reply is quick. Any chance you could come here instead? I'll make it worth it.
