Saving Ernest

Londoner Ernest Porter wasn’t looking for love that Saturday morning. Nor was he looking where he was going. Fortunately PC Liam McAvoy was looking, and saves Ernest from falling into a hole caused by a missing manhole cover. The weather is hot, and wanting to thank Liam for saving him, Ernest offers the policeman a glass of ice tea. They talk and Ernest finds himself increasingly drawn to the young constable. But it can’t go anywhere. Liam isn’t gay, there’s a big age difference between them, and Ernest is still hurting from a previous betrayal. After weeks of internal struggle, Ernest finally confesses all. Liam’s reaction is not what Ernest expects.

“There’s something I need to tell you. I’d have done it by the lake earlier, but…well…you know,” he said, looking over at me. “For a long time I’ve wondered if there was something wrong with me. I’ve always thought myself a bit different from the people around me. It’s always been a bit strange…sometimes I thought I was being a snob, but it wasn’t that.”

His gaze seemed to drift off then.

A couple of minutes passed before Liam said, “When I was a lad back in Ireland, there was a girl who lived on the next farm over. Louise her name was. She was a good friend to me. Probably the only friend I had really. Growing up on a farm you soon realise where babies come from. Sex wasn’t something that was ever hidden from us. So, being the natural curious lad that I was, me and Louise had sex.”

My heart sank again. I wasn’t sure I could cope with this, but I was frozen in place; I just couldn’t get my limbs to cooperate to get me out of there.
