The stresses in their relationship become clear when Ralph comes home to Alec with perfume on his collar.
Comments
The story elicited a number of comments, including the following:
- "[...] I like the tone you've chosen very much , and that its Alec who's speaking first (fits nicely with our vision for them)...and how quietly spare the whole piece is...."—comment by my_cnnr
- "What a lovely scene! Alec is one of my favorite characters (never understood the Sandy thing myself either) and I love the idea of how he and Ralph were together. I think this, or whatever it was that caused the end, is exactly how they would have handled the end of their relationship - no melodramatics in the bathtub for them, indeed."—comment by poicale
