Chap.14
I think she liked Lex. She was walking with him and laughing at something he said, and jealousy rose like a thick bile. Fine so be it. I sighed. If I had to like her from a distance so be it. When the guys had started to argue, and wrestle. It had been too much to just stand around watching them, so I joined in. I knew Tam was laughing at us so I pulled her into it too.

"So Tam is the reciprocal of your thoughts this night?" I shrugged, but he understood. "Well, if you wait to long laddie, she might disappear, the creator only knows that this has happened too much." I nodded. He took the meaning in the silence and he clasped my shoulder briefly, and went on his way again. I knew the sun was coming, but I couldn't be bothered to move. So when the sun rose I was staring out the window, looking thoughtful and pensive, but still very much hurting. And then sleep came…
