The day the cast came off Colin invited Tom out. To a very romantic restaurant. Halfway into the meal Colin said there was something he just had to say. Tom's heart sank.
- I know we've only been together for a couple of months, and I know you're younger than me and that sometimes we haven't quite seen eye to eye on when's the right time to tell our families... But I still want to say ...
- you're breaking up!
- ... that I love you and wonder if you will move in with me?
- what?
- what?!!?
For a minute there was total chaos, helped greatly by the waiter who just then dropped a gravy-boat and spilt sauce all over the neighbouring table.
- Tom, what was -
- Did you mean that??
- Of course! Haven't you noticed?
He didn't actually have to think. He had noticed. There was no doubt in his mind Colin loved him. And now he even said so. In a public place. The only reason he stopped at all - on all appearances to think! - was because he'd start crying if he hadn't.
