"Lucy's Boyfriend," by Anne Enright
Briefly

Everyone said that Jen had run off with Lucy's boyfriend, though he had run off with her. Also, it happened a good three months after he and Lucy had broken up.
He really wasn't Lucy's, but social pressure and assumptions led to misunderstandings, highlighting the impact of rumors and perceptions in relationships.
