Everything about it was wrong.
How could he betray Cutter? The friendship he had with him meant so much. The older man trusted him. Cared about him in a way few did.
So Stephen would never be able to explain why he always ran back to Helen Cutter. She crooked a finger, he came. Literally and figuratively. With her, he didn't have to think or stand for himself. In the cradle of her thighs, he was sheltered. The world out there was cold, but Helen's arms never were.
Helen didn't just make him feel needed. With her, he felt wanted.
