Alex said something I would of never expected him to say.Okay here goes, he takes a breath and mumbles I'm gay.What I couldn't quite catch that I responded.With a little more power in his voice. He repeated. I'm gay.I stood there amazed on how this beautiful beast could be gay.He put his head down. Oh shit! Whatdid I just say? Oh God!"I would like that.

She still needed her sticks but was now attending her physiotherapy at the Royal. The nurse no longer visited.Nick and Sally decided to drive to the Kirkwoods'. Trevor.
