    Summary

    Eloise and Theo relink their frienship right before Theo leaves. For a year, he will be travelling through the UK, mastering his craft. Eloise asks that he writes to her. He obliges.

    "Dear Eloise,
    I promised I would write, and so I shall; though I confess, I’ve been staring at this blank page for the better part of an hour, trying to decide how to begin. It is one thing to speak to you in person, where your expressions do half the work for me, and quite another to put ink to paper without the benefit of your raised eyebrow or impatient sigh to guide me. (I suppose I shall have to imagine those instead.)
    The road is uneventful thus far, though I admit I find myself missing the noise of London.
    I hope your family is well and that your brother has not yet driven you to madness with his hovering. And I hope (though I have no right to) that you might think of me every now and then, if only to scoff at whatever clumsy turn of phrase I’ve managed in this letter.
    Write back, if you’ve a mind to. I should like to know what you’re reading, what you’re arguing about, whether you’ve scandalized any new poor souls at tea.

    Your friend,
    Theo"

    Summary

    ‘Jesus Christ you’re serious, aren’t you?’

    The interruption is unexpected, and the sharp tone of the clearly rhetorical question leaves Isaac without a clue what to say in response.

    He’s finally figured out what’s behind Michael's eyes, the thing he’d seen brief shadows of back in the club.

    Anger. It's anger. And at this moment, it's directed entirely at Isaac.

    AKA Isaac attempts to give the shovel talk to his best mate's boyfriend, and instead learns that sometimes actions have consequences.

    Jamie Tartt demolishes this well-constructed bubble with one smile. After all, football will always be life.

    Kim hates feeling like he can't go home.
    Porsche (unintentionally) gives him a home.
