If She Didn't Know Any Better...

Laney's heart was breaking as she helplessly made the grilled cheese but she had to keep on a brave face. She didn't expect Richard—who hadn't said a word the whole time Lissy was complaining—to speak up. 

He changed the subject rather artfully and distracted Lissy. Why? How could he even tell she was upset when she was hiding it? 

She didn't think he even experienced awkwardness so she doubted he changed the subject for his own sake. It had to be because he was worried about her stress levels. He had mentioned something like that before, being concerned for the baby's sake. 

Laney was curious enough to ask why he had done it once they were out of there and Richard said it was because he could tell she was uncomfortable. As she suspected.
