Troy Heyes

“After all, I'm the one who fills in the gaps between the lines.”

Date of Birth: 3/08

Personality: a minor character.

Height: 186 cm

Book of choice: "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee

Favourite food: Sunday roast

Additional facts: Troy is absolutely hopeless in the kitchen. Sasha, his daughter’s got a gluten intolerance, and every time he tries to bake her cookies, it’s a toss-up whether the smoke alarm goes off or the kitchen survives.

Troy is the type of guy who not only remembers your birthday but will stay up listening to your emotional breakdown at 2 a.m. without a complaint. Smart, charming… practically annoyingly perfect. After his parents split, he moved from the U.S. to England and, naturally, straight to Harvard—because that’s what “perfect” people do as their trauma response. He wasn’t thrilled about it, but somehow managed to find his purpose (making education accessible for those without the privileges he always had) and met his gorgeous (now ex) wife, Nicole. And if that wasn’t enough to make you roll your eyes, get this: Troy absolutely adores his daughter, Sasha. No doubt, she’s the queen of his world. Honestly, he’s too good to be true, which is probably why he’s not the main character.
