The detail of Roy being regularly hangover and sufficiently unpleasant when hangover that his butler has a whole routine about avoiding him is really solid.
Good for Mark for refusing to let Roy's behavior go unanswered - feels like the kind of thing that under the in-love-with-his-maybe-ex-fiancée circumstances Jim might feel inclined to leave alone. I'm curious to what extent Mark knows this is a bad approach with Roy - he seems to have a good sense of people, and it would be in his character to try to provoke Roy into more stupidity to help out Jim.
The scene at Michael's was just very well written - well-paced and fun to read.
Author's Response: I think Mark is just very firmly on Jim's side here, all else aside. He's committed to helping Jim however he can (because why else include Mark?).

As soon as I had read this line
“Jim is here because I asked him to visit me this morning, Mr. Anderson.”
I had copied it to paste in my review as my favorite in the whole story so far.
But then I read this...
“Congratulations, old boy! I knew I was doing something great when I introduced you two to each other! I take all the credit, you know, knew you were perfect for each other the first time I saw you! I say…”
and it’s a completely different kind of brilliance but now I can’t decide!
Author's Response: Yeah, I had a lot of fun with the quotes here, which is funny because I usually shy away from dialogue.

Ooh I loved these last few chapters! The build up to the breakup and now the buildup to them being together is just so good.
Author's Response: Thanks! We'll see a little of them actually together soon.
