The man had once told Terry that he'd still love him no matter what. Maybe his dad had guessed that he was gay, before Terry even knew himself. But he hadn't even tried to be with a girl, so he didn't even know if he was gay. The thoughts made his head spin, so he forgot them.

He hoped that they would be having a lovely Christmas dinner, like the one they had at school. Once he had eaten, he located Reid again. "I need to get my bag," he said.
