Aaron and I sat together on the sofa, listening to the sounds of Lyle puttering around in the kitchen — a kettle coming to boil, the chink of jars and cups and spoons.

We didn’t talk. My mouth was too dry to speak, even if I had a clue of what I might say. I had a hunch that Aaron felt the same.

Instead, we sat in silence and held each other’s hands so tightly they could have been our lifelines. Maybe they were.

Eventually, after what felt like ages but was probably less than five minutes, Lyle came back into the room. He handed us our drinks, and I held mine with both hands. My nerves had made my body shiver, and the hot drink warmed me.

“OK,” Lyle said. “If you’re ready, I’ll tell you everything. And when I’ve done that, between us we’ll try to figure out our next move. How does that sound?”

“Perfect,” I said. My nerves turned to excitement as Lyle began. While we sipped our hot chocolate, he told us his story — his and Lowenna’s story.
