Summary
Stede paused, turning towards him. "Ed, is everything going all right with you and Izzy?" he asked, voice gentle. "I know the two of you were going through a bit of a rough patch when I first met you, but I'd thought things were on the mend between the two of you. Is that what this is about?"The frown grew deeper. "What does Izzy have to do with anything?"
Stede blinked, non-plussed. "Well, he's your husband," he said, like that was something completely normal to say. "He's a rather vital aspect to your marriage, I would have thought."
Ed boggled at him. "What? Izzy and I aren't married."
Stede blinked again, his face softening with gentle concern. "Oh. I– I'm so sorry, Ed, I didn't realise you'd divorced."
"What?" Ed said again, feeling like they were speaking different languages. "We didn't get divorced."
Stede looked even more confused, which honestly made two of them. "Oh? But– how–"
It felt bonkers that he had to clarify this, but– "Izzy and I've never been married, Stede."
