"Gin?" I repeat quietly, then shake my head to clear it, "Yeah, I can understand why he took that harsh. Is this one of the things you don't talk about?"

"Well yeah. I mean it's a sensitve topic Charlie. It's like asking me about the day I found mum..." I say trailing off a bit."But I knew Erin, she and I were friends, we all took it hard, not as hard as him but still."

"Yeah, I got that. I'm not expecting you to start talking to him about either of those things. I'm sorry, you know, about losing her. Awful way to lose someone."

"He saw her fall." I say quietly,"He tried to catch her...he blames himself."

"Oh God...that's awful." I say quietly, "Well, of course he blames himself. It's only natural. And if he loved her as much as you said he did, then he would think it's his duty to protect her, fix her. Must have killed him that he failed, even if he didn't have to in the first place."

"Yeah, he stayed with Gid that week. I thought it was best if..if he wasn't with me for a while."

"Ah, that makes sense." I say, understanding, "Gid was really stressed for a week or so, not so long ago. Could tell even if it was just through his letters."

"Kept trying to kill himself, Gid said." I mutter quietly. "He thinks I don't know."

"Well, don't let on that you know. It'll make him feel worse, probably." I sigh, "Does he...you know...cut?"

"Yeah, I know what you mean. You picked an interesting guy, Maddie. Hope you can handle him."

I smile weakly,"Yeah, think I can handle him. He keeps me in my place you know?"

"Brave brave man." I joke, "Keeping you in your place. Bloody hell."

I shove him lightly,"He just, he keeps me on my toes. When ever I get out of line he tells me, he's argues with me constantly, over the littlest things but I love it. It's like I don't have to act like someone I'm when I'm with him."

A wry smile tugs at the corner of my lips, but I quickly stop myself. "Never heard you talk that way about someone before. Might be because I wasn't around so often for a while though."

"Yeah probably." I smile,"Though he mocks my love of peanut butter." I laugh.

I shake my head,"It's our family Charlie, not much we can do." I smile weakly,"Went to see Aunt Gilly last month."

"Yeah, I don't think having your boyfriend meeting your family for the first time then finding out, he's gonna die if you love a Speare's woman is the best thing. Kind of blew up at her when she told him though,"

"Tony looks so much like you Charlie." I laugh,"I'm sure they remember they're favourite uncle. Kylie was what? Four when you last saw her?"
