??What??s up???
??Nothing.??
??It??s okay, Pup, you can tell me.?? Joey wondered why he??d used the epithet. It seemed to suit Kevin, those chocolate drop eyes of his looked so much like Bertie??s.
Kevin couldn??t meet Joey??s gaze, even though the latter had made a conscious effort to soften it. ??My parents disowned me, um??When they????
??When they found out you were gay.??
Kevin stared at Joey in absolute terror.
Joey suddenly realised what he??d said. ??It??s okay. I??ve known about you and Cal Briggs for ages, Cal didn??t exactly keep it a secret.?? Joey recalled the many macho boasts the man had shared with his fellow drivers about how he was able to dominate his submissive partner. Though he??d remained unusually quiet on the subject recently.
