Summary
“Come on. Let’s get you out of that dress.”
Well. Stephen had been hoping to hear that tonight, but not in this context. Although Lewis’ voice held no hints of lust, Stephen still felt a stab of jealous hurt. They’ll leave now and go into their bedroom, and Lewis will help Rachael out of her dress to soak it. The stain will disappear and Rachael will smile at Lewis. Perhaps they will kiss, soft and chaste and loving.
For some reason, the image of shared intimacy that Stephen wasn’t part of hurt more than the idea of them having sex.
He busied himself cutting his hard-won potato into small, neat squares.

Summary
Lewis sniffled harshly and wiped, rather uselessly, at his tear-stained cheeks. Despite it all, he looked straight at Stephen; perhaps for the first time since he realised what had happened.
Stephen found himself unable to meet his gaze. Instead, he addressed Rachael. “You won’t leave him.”
Rachael shook her head. “That doesn’t mean I don’t — I do care about you,” she said softly, and Stephen had to look away from her as well. He knew that. He also knew it wasn’t enough.
Nothing could have prepared him for Lewis’ next words.
“You could stay as well.”
