Summary
They have an unspoken pact: that this thing between them is nothing serious, because there’s too much at stake for it to be serious. It’s too important for it to be important. As it were.
But. Well. You don’t really go around buying jewellery for a teammate you’re shagging unless somewhere, deep down, secretly, guiltily, it is important. Do you?

If they're honest, neither Jimmy nor Alastair thought Jimmy would make it to the Fourth Test. If they'd known the ICC was going to clear him of the misconduct charge, they might have done things a little differently at the end of the Third. What happens when you assumed something was going to end, and it hasn't? How do you go from an emotionally complicated farewell to working together again, a handful of days later? (Manchester, August 2014)
