Chapter 28

??Come with us,?? Peter stood. ??we??ll pick up a take-away or something. It??ll be a treat for Terry.??

Terry rubbed his hands.

??Joey said he??d call round and we??d eat at his place. I think he wanted me to spend the night with him.??

Peter??s brow furrowed. ??You??ve only known the man for just over three days. Don??t you think you??re rushing it???

Kevin wished he hadn??t let that last bit slip out.

??It just seems like things are moving very quickly, maybe too quickly. I don??t want you to get hurt. You are one of life??s givers, love. I??m just worried that this new guy will take and not give you anything back in return.??

??I know. But what can I do? I??m in love with him. I think I scared him off when I told him this morning.??

??Maybe that??s why he hasn??t shown up,?? Peter sighed.

Kevin??s eyes?? filled with tears. Secretly he??d feared this happening all afternoon.
