Summary
‘No man has hit me, either. Another girl stole my money. Money I’d been saving to go after my brother – who you fucking sent away and left me, all on my own, to fend for myself. Don’t you judge me for the position that you put me in!’
‘Don’t shout at me in me own fucking car!’ Tommy barked back, turning and pointing at her.
‘Stop fucking pointing at me! There is only one person to be pointing fingers at, and it’s you! You fucking did this to me, Thomas Shelby!’
Tommy’s gaze was wide and wild, horrified by her words, looking at her skinny wrist, her battered face. He was shaking his head, but she was sobbing, looking out of the window, likely regretting speaking at all. She had been sweet. So sweet.
He swallowed. ‘Go in the house. Polly has a bath for you.’

Summary
Duncan reaches up to cup Paul’s face; he brushes a thumb over Paul’s cheek. He tilts Paul’s face this way and that.
“You look like you never sleep.”
Paul can barely breathe. He doesn’t know what to say. He hasn't slept, not well, anyway. He wakes up early or in fits in the night, and he can never escape those strange dreams. They’re getting harder to shake during the day.
Duncan’s hand drops away.
“You can stay with me,” Duncan offers. “Anytime you need. Tonight, if you want. If it will help you sleep.”
***
Paul has trouble sleeping. More accurately, he has trouble with his dreams. Duncan Idaho notices something off with his boy, and he offers Paul a place to stay. Paul only has to take him up on it.

Summary
Eleanor Roy had always done the right thing. She was a dutiful daughter, a caring sister, and content with being one of the overlooked children of Logan Roy. Being overlooked meant she was used to not being seen, but soon the universe turned upside down when she was brought back into the family fold, and she finds herself immersed in the chaotic world of Waystar Royco, and immersed in the world of Stewy Hosseini.
