Biography[]
Background[]
It is unknown when Whit moved to London, but may have done so for work. He meets Libby and becomes her new partner some time after Dennis jilts her at their wedding.
Run Fatboy Run[]
Five years after leaving Libby at the alter, she reveals to Dennis that she has recently started seeing someone called Whit. Dennis learns that Whit intends to complete the London Marathon. Motivated by this in an effort to win Libby back and prove he is capable of completing something in his life, Dennis agrees to sign up.
Whit throws Libby a grandiose party for her birthday, where Dennis is invited. In front of Dennis, Whit proposes to Libby in front of everyone. To Dennis' dismay, Libby accepts his proposal. On the day of the race, Dennis and Whit run alongside each other. The two argue for a while, and in their heated discussion end up overtaking the Olympic runners. Whit then intentionally trips Dennis which severely injures him. Whit leaves Dennis on the floor, but is taken to hospital after feeling pain in his foot. Libby asks the hospital if any runners are being treated to see if Dennis has been admitted. She turns and sees Whit being taken in on a hospital bed, who claims that Dennis tripped him.
The doctor tells Whit he is not injured, and has "hit the wall" and couldn't continue because of a psychological block. Whilst Jake plays with Whit's hospital bed, he shouts and swears at him. Still in hospital, Libby, Whit and Jake watch the news coverage of the fall, where a camera shows Whit actively tripping Dennis up, being taken down by Dennis as he went.
As he tries to explain himself, Whit also says that he plans on taking Jake and Libby to Chicago, having never mentioned this to them before. Sick of Whit, Libby removes her engagement ring and breaks up with him to go support Dennis.
