    Summary

    They were only feet apart, yet it felt as if there were worlds between them, an unbridgeable space that could never be filled with anything Pip could shove into in a desperate attempt to bring back what they once were.

    “Yes, Herbert,” he choked out.

    (He couldn’t bring himself to call the other “dear Herbert”. It was a constant reminder of what could have been of them but would never be.)

     

    Or: Pip falling in love with Herbert and his realization that they could never be together.

    Summary

    As Handel stood in front of them, Herbert was greatly reminded of the first day Pip landed in Egypt and how it had been natural for Herbert to go to him first, them having had a longer acquaintance, but now, Pip and Clara had become so dear to one another that Herbert felt it presumptuous to step into Handel’s arms first. And his friend seemed to have a similar hesitation. Clara, however, did not, and simply devised an efficient solution to the problem: she put an arm around Herbert’s waist and took him with her as she embraced Handel from the left. Thus, Herbert embraced him from the right. An embrace had never felt so complete as that one had.
