Summary
The gathered crowd gasps when the butt of the gun cracks her skull, hard.
Something - someone - catches her before she hits the cobblestones. It’s Max, she can tell, because she’s suddenly boiling and she knows he runs as hot as an iron furnace.

Summary
David notices the window box, the evening after she’s discharged from the hospital: mostly wheelchair bound, tired, picking half-heartedly at her food.
The stone trough outside her kitchen window is something she herself has never noticed before, much less tried to do anything with. She imagines the Victorian architect added the feature to the windows on her building to encourage some green thumbs in its residents, and probably hadn’t banked on it being occupied by a workaholic politician who notably once managed to kill the cactus on her windowsill in her student halls of residence.
Her thumbs are the pastiest white.

Summary
“You can take me out to dinner first,” she decides. “Then... we’ll see. Least that way I can be sure you’ve eaten today.”
“When?
“Tonight. Meet me here at eight.”
She doesn’t pose it as a question anymore, and he’s glad. If it was a question, he could change his mind about this, talk himself out of what he really wants like he always does. She’s telling him, and he’d follow any order if she’s the one giving it.

Summary
It doesn’t feel like he has much of a right to buying flowers, or to even being here today. PPOs don’t get invited to the funerals of their Principals for good reasons.
Not least that it being her funeral means he failed quite spectacularly as her PPO.

Summary
No? he managed.
No, she said just as quietly, just as powerfully. I will not be dismissed.
He was unsure whether she meant her position as governess, or her presence from his house.
You cannot stay on, he said simply, hoping she could understand what he could not bring himself to say.
She looked him full in the face then, and said, You cannot dismiss me. You act as though you are honour bound to sever our association, but honour would dictate quite the opposite.
My god, he thought. She'll be the death of me yet.

Or: Colbourne finds the words to tell Miss Heywood how he feels about her. Sort of.

Summary
Trixie lays the bills out in neat piles by denomination. “Hang on.” He counts them again, just to be sure. “Oh my god.” A breathless laugh knocks out of him. “I’m taking you out,” he decides aloud.
“Oh, please. I’m not gonna be that easy to kill,” Brian scoffs. “I’m tenacious, bitch.”
(Trixie sends a very late-night text. Brian's up.)
