Perhaps it was cowardice on his part, but as they waited, Lex kept more watch on the hallway then on the flat door. It was selfish, but he didn't want to see the happy look on Anatoly's wife and children's faces when they saw their wayward husband and father, especially since he wasn't sure if he could keep his composure from revealing his dismay, guilt and jealousy or worse yet, grabbing Anatoly and claiming him as Lex's.

Lex never had learned to share well, but this was just ridiculous.
