    Summary

    Healy rubs the back of his neck, sweating from the midday sun, wipes his palm on his jeans. He's getting soft in his old age, he guesses. A hard man who doesn't know how to defend himself from scared young girls.

    Or, he supposes, idiot thirty-something single fathers.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “‘Alright,’ Healy said. ‘Sorry I asked.’

    And he was sorry. Not then, but a few days later when he was folding March's limp, drunken body into bed and he spotted the cologne bottle on the dresser. Big, heavy, cut glass. Half-empty. The kind of thing you get as a gift from your wife, if things are going good. Healy guesses they were.”

    Summary

    "It is pathetic, this newly responsible Theodore Lawrence. It's a tribute to her. A pie-in-the-sky dream that she will turn down Fred and come to him instead and Laurie will kneel down before her and tell her that he has been good, really, really, he has, Saint Amy, won't you forgive me?

    Except this time he will say it earnestly. This time he will let his eyes meet hers and he will grasp her hand like he should always have done, like he can't bear to let it go."

    ***

    Laurie falls for Amy, in France and after;
