Chapter 32

Terry smiled, his face could never be described as handsome, but his smile seemed to warm the whole room, Joey couldn??t help but smile along with him. The two were still holding hands. Terry didn??t seem eager to let go.

Peter nodded at Joey before turning to Kevin. ??Look, we??ll be off now.??

??Thanks for, um, well, thanks for coming round.?? Kevin smiled shyly.

??That??s okay,?? Peter told him.

Staring right at Joey, Terry tilted his head towards the door. ??A quick word???

??Um, sure.?? Joey, despite his air of bravado, was secretly a little concerned. Though the guy wasn??t in tiptop shape, he??d still be able to inflict some serious damage if he had a mind to.

Terry, Joey and Peter exited Kevin??s room, Terry pulling the door closed behind them.

Terry looked down kindly at Joey, few men had the size advantage to be able to do that. ??Kevin??s our friend,?? he said simply.
