Tomโs aunt Georgie spoke to me first, and Tom found me through her. At the time, I didnโt actually think Tom was a big enough character to carry a story. If it had to be anyone from Saving Francesca, I thought, it would be Will Trombal or Tara. But the line in Francesca, โI want to be the first male in the Mackee family to reach 40 and still have a liverโ stuck with me, and in the end, Tom has been one of the biggest surprises. Iโm glad I didnโt kick him out of my head.
