It’s not purely about wallowing in nostalgia either, as becomes clear when Sam makes a quick pit-stop and, upon his return, finds Tusker has vanished – without his phone. After a few moments of panic and a quick scout around the area, he’s relieved to find his partner safe and well – if a little disorientated. Turns out he didn’t bring his pills – deliberately. “They remind me I’m ill – and I don’t want that,” Tusker says defiantly. It’s now two years since the novelist got the devastating diagnosis of dementia. Since then, he’s been determined to live life to the full and press on with his work. But now, sensing things are getting worse, Sam wants to try and spend as much time with him, but he’s finding it is taking a heavy toll on his own emotions and mental state.
