Summary
“Are you sure, sir?”
Little freezes where he had been stepping back out into the hall, one hand on the door. “Pardon?”
“There’s nothing else you desire from me?” Thomas sets his sewing down carefully on the tiny table in front of him and gets to his feet, so he is facing Little. “This button, for instance,” he continues. It’s a gamble and he knows it, but the sharp inhale that Little makes as he brushes one finger over the button of his greatcoat is more than worth it. “It could use tightening. I could do that for you now, if you’d like.”

Summary
He could have sworn – Ned could have sworn – that a rising executive at a highly successful transport and logistics multinational would be able to afford the services of a mid-range professional to come on his face and tell him he was a disgusting maggot, and still leave some over for a steady balanced investment in a midcap mutual fund, but apparently not.
In which Ned Little tries and fails to balance his chequebook, until he gets an assist from Thomas Jopson.

Summary
If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing you can't get through together
If someone had said to Jamie that his day would end with him having punched his dad and crying in Roy fucking Kent’s arms, he’d have suggested for them to lay off the dope. But here he was, shaking and sobbing into Roy’s jacket like his heart was fucking breaking.

Summary
“Shane,” Ilya calls out. “I am here.”
No response, just the ambient hum of Shane’s fridge. The TV is not on or anything. Is Shane even home?
Ilya walks through the kitchen and past the bathroom, still finding nothing. He heads towards the living room next. His imagination is already going, wondering if this is a surprise of some kind. Maybe Shane will come out from around a corner, launch himself at Ilya, push him up against the wall and—
Ilya’s thought process slams into a brick wall when he enters the living room. He stops walking, coming to a halt by the side of the couch.
—
Sometimes, Shane gets…fuzzy. That is what Ilya has taken to calling it in his head. Then, Ilya stumbles upon something Shane hadn’t intended for him to see, and the puzzle pieces start to come together.
