    Summary

    Ralph’s hands were on his waist now. Laurie took a reluctant step back and appraised him.

    “Something not quite to your satisfaction, dear?” There was a hint of apprehension in Ralph’s tone which Laurie, he hoped, soothed by placing a hand on Ralph’s cheek.

    “I just thought you would have a bit more of a tan, that’s all,” he said with a small smile. He found the browned tips of Ralph’s ear most endearing. Ralph laughed, a throaty chuckle. “Sorry, Spud. Next time I’ll ask for more deck duty instead of being holed up in the radio room.”

    “Yes, do.” Laurie leaned in to kiss him again.

    --

    The war goes on, Laurie goes to a party, welcomes Ralph back home for shore leave and settles some things. All in all, an eventful night.

    Summary

    In reality, there is no earth-shattering recognition nor is he thunderstruck by revelation. Instead, it is a meandering awareness that seeps through the cracks of his resolve and what’s left of his childish innocence.

    Summary

    “Me showing up there with you… You could just as well announce in the papers that we’re engaged to be married and be done with it. People may pretend to believe the story of two friends and veterans sharing a cottage here but the Old Boys won’t be fooled.”

    Laurie stared at Ralph, unflinching. His spine was steel. “Now you’re missing my point.”

    “Laurie, dear, that’s really very sweet,” Ralph said as he took Laurie’s hand; a flicker of anger passed through Laurie and he’d nearly snatched it away. “But think about it—these are some connections you could use. Someone could help you with your novel. If you bring me with you… You cannot think it is worth burning all these bridges?”

    Summary

    “Did you know I’d ring?” Laurie finally asked.

    “I hoped.” Ralph smiled at the back of Laurie’s head. “I might be a sailor, but I wasn’t going to leave it up to fate. Not this. Besides,” he said, taking Laurie’s wrist, for they were alone now, “fortune favours the brave.” He prompted Laurie closer to himself, his arm encircling his waist. Laurie relaxed and bent his body towards him, almost imperceptibly, like a tree orienting itself in the direction of the sun.

    Moments from Ralph and Laurie's week of date nights, intimacy and confidences before it all came crashing down.

    Summary

    Ralph drew his face away, just enough to watch Laurie. Laurie’s will had been too weak then, and was too weak now, to want to resist. His mind eagerly painted their immediate future, fueled not by a fantasy or a dream but a keen recollection of the wedding night and the sensations it had provided.

    --

    Laurie breaks up with Ralph. It doesn't go exactly as planned. (Chapter 14 missing scene - "Come and say goodbye to me.")

    "You know, even Saint Antony practised his austerities in the desert. His temptations came to him in dreams, and he just told them to go to hell. You can do that with a dream; it hasn't any feelings."
