Chapter 36

“Then you don’t know what he thinks, do you?”

“You didn’t see the way he looked at me.”

“Probably with a lot of shock, darling, I don’t think from what you’ve told me that Jude had much of a clue, did he?”

“I—well, no…”

“Did Kerry explain about you before sending him home?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright. I think Jude’s probably very shocked and unsure of what to do or what’s going to happen—”

“He hasn’t texted me or anything.”

“—and maybe even what he feels—”

“He’s been telling the others he might be bisexual, he even admitted to the other boys he—you know, he must be into boys if he likes me, and—”

“Honestly, darling, I think there’s some truth in that. If Jude genuinely believed you were biologically male and it didn’t stop him being attracted to you, then I think he must have at least the potential to be sexually attracted to boys. But that’s for Jude to think about, not you. It’s not really your business what his sexuality is, is it? Leave him to work that one out.”
