After dinner, Phil leaves early for the Sunday "meeting". He goes to the café and meets the alcoholic woman, Lorna, again and she invites him round to hers for coffee after they've chatted at length about falling off the wagon and how no-one except an alcoholic jokes about it with them. They also mention children - Lorna has lost hers to their father because she turned up in court drunk, and Phil says he nearly lost his wife and kid too. Lorna asks him if he wants a drink, and Phil hesitates before he refuses, and she says that he wants one though, doesn't he. Lorna sits beside him cosily and says that it's important to admit that you want something, even if you can't have it, ...especially if you can't have it. Phil responds by kissing her. Phil says he has to go, and walks out of her house. Showing the sort of willpower which made him alcoholic, he then goes straight back.
