school and I could hear Fran inviting them to have tea next door with them. Joseph would be at Karate practice. When we roused ourselves we lapsed into a silence. His story had stopped and we had reached no conclusions. I had asked no questions and he hadn’t told me anything I hadn’t already imagined for myself, apart from hearing about Joshua. I showered in the en-suite and began to feel more in control of my emotions. I left Tom in bed and I slipped downstairs to make us something to eat, which I took back up on a tray. Suddenly I was hungry and so was Tom. It was as though he did not want to talk anymore. I summoned inner strength to address our dilemma. It was a quick clean question that defined the fact that subconsciously I had decided to fight for Tom.
“What do you want to do, be with her or stay with me?”
Is there any other way I could have put it when I knew deep within that I could not live without him? Later I thanked God for the fact that he hadn’t faltered for a second when he replied.
