'He squeezed Kochanski’s hand, and reached for Rimmer’s, but they were tightly clasped in his lap, Lister’s gesture unaccepted. Still, he had them both. His family was whole, and he silently vowed that he’d never make the mistake of driving away any of them again.'
I love this bit. This is the major problem with Lister and Rimmer I think. Neither of them ever had a proper family but they dealt with it different ways. Lister made the posse his family, whereas Rimmer decided a family just wasn't worth having. Sigh...
