    Summary

    “I really won’t take it personally if you want someone else here,” Trent murmurs. “Not that I want to go, Ted, but—everyone told me to give you their best wishes. The only reason Coach Beard didn’t come with me is that Roy needed him around to finish up the day.”

    “I’d like you to stay,” Ted tells him, which is so hard to say it makes him nauseous.

    “Then I will.” Like it’s that easy. Ted sniffs again. He wipes at his face with the back of his hand and grimaces. Trent produces a packet of Kleenex from god knows where—and then, instead of handing it to Ted to clean his own damned face like an adult, he leans in and wipes at his cheeks and beneath his eyes, face twisted in concentration.

    "Afraid I'm ruining all your efforts," Ted tells him as more tears stream down his face. He feels cracked open. "Shit, Trent. I'm sorry. I'm sure this wasn't what you were expecting."

    "I can't say it was," Trent says, still dabbing at Ted's face with the patience and gentleness that comes only from having an emotional toddler, "but I'm glad I came either way. Now sit tight for a moment."

    Summary

    Ted has just finished explaining why he felt the need to deliver some paperwork to Trent’s house after hours instead of waiting to see him at work, and is in the middle of complimenting his interior decorating, when Trent turns into a snake.
    “Huh,” Ted says. “Well. That’s – hmm. Y’know I’m hardly ever at a loss for words, but… uh. You really got me this time, Trent, I truly don’t know what to say here.”

    Summary

    "Good evening, Ted," Trent says.

    "How long?" Ted asks. Trent sighs.

    "Right to it, then?"

    "Bingo, Ringo," Ted says.

    After Ted goes back to Kansas, Trent sends a finished copy of the book to his house. Ted has some questions. Trent's not sure he's ready to answer them.

    Summary

    Dating Ted Lasso is a wonderful thing. There are, however, certain downsides. For example, Trent no longer has control over when and where he smiles. He apparently cares about Roy Kent's opinion of him now. And he's been having the most ridiculous urge to tap dance.

    It's the Lasso Effect.
