Summary
"That was Prime Minister Thatcher. Personally.”
“What could she possibly need?”
If the rude interruption during his bath wasn’t enough to ruin his night, what Gerald shares with him next certainly is: “She wants to dine at Penscombe. In a week’s time.”
or, Rupert hires Taggie to cater a very important dinner for the PM. She needs plenty of time to prepare the menu and work with his staff — it just makes sense for her to stay the week at Penscombe. What could go wrong?

Summary
Roy Kent stopped in front of him. Looked at Jamie, right in his eyes. Time seemed to stop. Jamie opened his mouth, just as he saw Roy Kent open his.
"Absolutely fucking not."
The words hit Jamie like a blow.
No, like a… burn?

Summary
“I –– I should go,” he manages to choke out, not looking at Phoebe’s glittery bubble bath. “I’ve kept you long enough.”
“What?” Roy asks. He looks confused in a way Jamie’s never seen him before.
“I’m intruding,” Jamie says gently, the same tone that he used to use to explain to his cousins why his dad was passed out snoring in the corner before Christmas dinner had even been served.
“No you’re fucking not,” Roy says instantly, circling his fingers around Jamie’s wrist so hard it hurts. “How can you be fucking intruding? I fucking invited you.”
Jamie’s head swims with all the f-bombs in that sentence. You’d think he’d be used to it by now.

“There’s a lot coming up,” Roy says, instead of all that. “With the manager position, and shit. I need some time to think about,” he gestures vaguely between them, “this.”
Jamie nods, slowly, lips pursed together. “Alright,” he says again.
Roy really hates that fucking word.
“You ought to take a trip or something, Coach,” Jamie says, flopping back down onto the pillows, making no move to leave Roy’s bed despite the whole needing space thing. “Take a holiday before the season starts. Get your head on straight.”
That - isn’t the worst idea Jamie’s ever had, really.

Summary
‘That’s the thing,’ Roy says. ‘He’s better than he’s ever been, but he’s holding something back. He does everything I tell him to, but not anything more. I know I ask a lot, but he’s capable of being fucking brilliant. He can jog halfway through the night and cycle the rest and still look like he could do a commercial for those stupid fucking shoes they all wear, and at some point it’s not fucking up to me anymore, it has to be about him pushing his own fucking self. I don’t know how to fucking motivate him!’
For a second, Roy thinks Keeley’s going to point out that his swearing gets even worse when he’s upset about something, which he can’t fucking help and it doesn’t fucking matter anyway. Then …
‘Blowjobs,’ Keeley says, in a very business-like tone.
