Summary: He takes the piece of paper with Trent’s phone number on it out of his wallet and sticks it under the Tin Man fridge magnet from The Wizard of Oz set Henry sent him for his birthday.
Looking at Trent’s quick scrawl across the page, a lifeline if he ever needs it, some of the pressure in Ted’s chest eases, just a bit.

Summary: “I just met Ted Lasso,” Sachiko Crimm says bluntly when her ex-husband picks up.

Sachiko gives it five seconds, and then she bursts out laughing.
“Stop it,” says Trent wearily.

Summary: “Ted,” he says, mouth dry.
“Trent,” says Ted.
“Is this a date?” says Trent stupidly.
“Trent Crimm, bringing that heat.” Ted still hasn’t withdrawn his hand.
They’re standing in the street outside Ted’s flat where any tosser in Richmond could gawk at them. Trent hasn’t blanked so hard since his first press conference at Man United, where Alex Ferguson insulted his hair. His mouth, trained by years of journalistic habit, says on autopilot: “Follow-up question.”
In 48 hours, Trent Crimm lands a scoop, implodes his career and makes some drastic life decisions. And then there's the aftermath. And Ted, of course.

Summary: The sight is so bizarre, so out of place that for a minute, Roy’s not sure what he’s looking at. Trent (Crimm, the Independent) looks just as shocked as Roy feels. He’s wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, stupid hair ridiculously mussed, and he’s holding a mug of steaming coffee.

Summary: "Good evening, Ted," Trent says.
"How long?" Ted asks. Trent sighs.
"Right to it, then?"
"Bingo, Ringo," Ted says.
After Ted goes back to Kansas, Trent sends a finished copy of the book to his house. Ted has some questions. Trent's not sure he's ready to answer them.
