How do you think they would have got together if Alec wasn't going away? I've been pondering this, and wonder if, even if Alec wasn't leaving, he would, like you suggest, be thinking of moving on to something else at some point, and perhaps he and Maurice may still end up together but at a later point in time.
I wonder if Maurice himself might have instigated something, like he almost did with Dickie Barry? After all, Alec is amenable to it, so if he thought Maurice was interested that might have provided the impetus for them both to try something.
