    Summary

    “Hello,” Dale says when they pull apart, his voice soft, maybe a little hoarse for working all day.

    “Hi there,” Tim says through a smile, “these for me?”

    Dale blushes, dips his head. “Yeah, hope you like them. The woman at the counter at the superette told me my girlfriend would be very happy when I came home with them.”

    Tim cocks his head to the side, grins. “Well, let me know what your girlfriend thinks then,” he says, and Dale rolls his eyes with such a mix of exasperation and fondness that Tim is forced to kiss him again.

    Summary

    "'I’ll make you a deal,' Tim replies, reckless and stupid. The way he always feels around Dale. 'If they make it legal in our lifetime, and if you haven’t got a partner by then–' Dale snorts at the thought, which proves what Tim always knew, that Dale has no idea how many men and women would slit their wrists to be with him–'Then I’ll find you and propose.'

    Summary

    "Val doesn't need a break from Christmas cooking. She’s about to say so when Dale goes on, in a rush like he’s desperate to get it out, 'Mum, I’m living with somebody.'

    'That’s wonderful!' It is. Dale’s almost forty, and Val isn’t getting any younger, either. She’s not exactly facing down death yet, but it would make her happy to see that he’s being properly looked after before she goes. 'What’s her name?'

    She’s met with silence, and Val knows. If she's honest with herself, she’s known since he was a boy. 'He’s called Tim,' Dale says quietly, after what feels like hours."

    Summary

    For Dale, fear is something else. A pain that chews him from the inside out. A seed that roots in the bottom of his chest and infects it and screams at him to flee. He hasn't felt it in the street when the ground was still shaking. But he feels it now that he has Tim so close.

    or

    What would have happened if Dale hadn't let his fears control him after that first kiss.
