I think on that day, remembering the first day Charlotte met Richard, when I miscalculated so badly; when I reacted so badly.
I punished her, betrayed her trust.
And in doing so, I almost destroyed everything we had; everything that lay between us.
Never again….
…. I let her have other men.
What's different about this one?
When it comes down to it, nothing, except that it is her choice rather than mine.
Michael put a stop to sharing her....
But that was to stop her getting hurt....
Richard would never hurt her.
He respects her.
And she, him.
I watch him, red-faced, sweating, watching Michael slow-f*****g Beth, then turning to watch me fingering Charlotte.
Poor bastard....
.... He thinks he's the only one that's not going to get laid tonight....
Hardly fair....
