Just before rushing off to catch his plane home after a two-week bus tour of Florida, Will Thompson tells Graham Knight that he loves him.<br><br>Stunned, not least because before meeting Will he thought himself straight, Graham watches Will leave. Realising he feels the same way, Graham has to journey across the US to tell Will he loves him, too. But with little money and travelling in a strange country, the way to Will is not an easy one.

The Way to Will

To cut a long story short, I got my bags back from Virgin Atlantic Airways and was told to get a taxi to the Greyhound bus station in Orlando where I could travel on one of their buses to Cleveland. I got a right bloody shock when they told me at the bus station it would take a day and three hours to get there.


“It is over a thousand miles, sir,” the woman, nowhere near as nice as the one back at the airport, said.


“Okay, guess I’ve no choice then.”


I paid for my ticket, which used up most of the spending money I had left from what the tinned fruit company had given me. Though I’d not liked it at the time, I was glad now that during the holiday Will hadn’t let me pay for many things.
