Archer resisted the urge to roll his eyes. They were all busy, weren't they?
But then when Lynley told Gabby that she wouldn't be able to visit them over the weekend he did. He rolled his eyes. "Unbelievable," he muttered. Because the woman couldn't just be happy for them? She couldn't just be happy for her friend? What was she getting her wand in a knot for? How coincidental that the very moment they announce their pregnancy, which she didn't seem happy about, was the moment that she remembered she was busy?
"Come on, Gabby, let's go." He pulled her away because he knew how much this would be hurting her. They had both thought Lynley would be happy for them. Well they had been fools, hadn't they? He didn't want Gabby to get upset or angry and say something she would later regret. He'd take her back home, set her on the lounge, make her a drink and give her a foot rub. Like her body wasn't going through enough as it was, growing a child, now she was going to be fixating on what was going on here with Lynley.
He had absolutely NO idea what to say to the woman, who appeared to not want him there. What was he supposed to do? Gabby didn't want him to leave without her, so he wouldn't. He would leave with her. And hope that it was time that Lynley needed, to come to terms with it.
But on a whim, just as he opened the door, his arm protectively around Gabby's shoulders, he turned around. "Lynley... I want us to be friends. I do. But me aside, your friendship with Gabby is important. To her, to me, to both of us. And hopefully to you as well. I just hope that this doesn't come between you and Gabby. Neither of us would want that."
