As Tom drove the remaining distance to Lucy's apartment, he glanced at her from time to time still stunned by her drunken confession of love and support for him.
Her words kept replaying in his head and the more he thought about it the lighter he felt.
He had thought she had been overdoing it the previous day and was probably pretending to be okay when she wasn't, but after hearing her say this in her drunken state he was more convinced now that she really wasn't going to leave him over this, and for that he was both very relieved and grateful.
Although, as relieved and grateful as he was feeling, he wished she was sober so he could ask her a couple of questions. Like what she meant about loving Dawn as she loved him.
