    Summary

    All this is imaginary, of course. Nothing has ever happened between them. He's very much a virgin, a little pathetic in his desperation, and he has no idea if she's the same. It doesn't matter, but he also hasn't been brave enough to ask. If he does, that will make their situation very real, but it also might mean he's left all by himself again.

    He doesn't think he can get his hopes up only for them to shatter like glass.

    If anything will drag him back into the Thames, it's that, depressing though it seems.

    He'll be anything Lucy needs him to be, even if nothing ever happens between them. If she needs a friend, she's got one. If she needs something else, he'll be that, too. She probably doesn't need her horny teenage boss stealing her knickers, but she got that as well. A bonus deal for the price of one.
