He was taking Jack to Amsterdam, he was helping her out, even though it meant she was flying to Spain with Gordon. So it seemed like another small incremental step on his slow road to atonement and everything would be better for him if he were to receive even the briefest, most cursory recognition of his penance. And now Susan stood in the open doorway and as she turned her gaze back into the house without any acknowledgement he knew she was summoning Jack, packing him off to allow her to pursue some dream of another life in which he would presumably play no part. She finally gave him a perfunctory wave but just as he was pondering whether to get out of the car Jack appeared wrestling a black plastic sports bag over his shoulder. He unwound the window as she went to kiss their son who didn’t turn his face to her and so she ended up kissing the back of his head. ‘All right?’ he asked. She nodded her answer and then he felt her hand resting lightly on top of his. There was still a pale groove where her wedding ring once was which he knew would fade completely in a little while.
