Summary
He can’t hang out with the boys, but he hates going home too. He hates being alone in his new flat, terrified that his dad will find out where he lives now and send them after him again. He’s taken to hanging round the club after training. He’ll find a quiet place to sit, pull out his book, and settle in for as long as he can before the stadium locks up for the night and he's forced to leave.
He’s onto the 34th book to read before you die — Emma — and is surprised by how much he likes it. In comparison to his own drama, gentle scandals and gossip are a nice escape. Today’s reading location is the boot room. The new kitman has some magic way of making it smell of lavender instead of sweaty feet, and if Jamie puts a couple of towels on the bench, it makes a nice pillow to sit on.
Mr Knightley is in the middle of yet another stern lecture — in his head, Knightley looks a lot like Roy, but he's not sure Keeley quite fits as Emma — when the door bangs open. Jamie jumps and is surprised to see Keeley standing there instead of Will, a guilty look on her face.
—
After a traumatic event Jamie falls apart, then puts himself back together again. He does the hard work, but he has a little help.

Summary
At some point in Jamie’s life, he is going to have to admit that he doesn’t know what the word traumatizing means. Sure, he could look it up in a dictionary or whatever, but a dry definition from some dead prick isn’t going to explain where the boundary lies between something normal that just felt bad and something that traumatized him, something that shouldn’t have happened at all—if the world was nice and fair.
Really, he’d prefer not to have to figure it out. He’d prefer to just focus on footie and his team and the weird, intense, wonderful thing that might be happening with Roy, and he’d be allowed to have that—if the world was nice and fair.

Summary
"You never mentioned she had a son, Dad." He's frowning as he says it. "Is he, like, my age?"
He wraps an arm around himself, trying to warm up, pressing his phone tightly to his ear.
"Oh, no, the little bugger just turned ten last week." There's a smile in Dad's voice. Ice is shooting down Jamie's spine. "He's bloody adorable, Junior. You'll love him."

Summary
Roy rolled his eyes, "Oh, it's not that big a deal, Jamie! Look, if you're going to be such a pussy about it maybe I'll try it out on Sam first, let you see how it's—"
"No!" Jamie yelped. He glanced out into the locker room. Poor Sam was a kid. "No, I'll do it. Don't rope anyone else in." He bit his lip. Ground out the last word. "Please."
Or: Roy thinks they're talking about a harmless prank. Jamie thinks that Roy found evidence from years ago, when a coach took advantage of him. And now Jamie's pretty sure it's happening again.
