The days passed, and I never really did get Justin to articulate his difficulty about Riley and her pregnancy. Even though, intuitively, it was so obvious why it affected him, it still would have been so helpful for him to be able to talk his feelings through with me, yet as a subject for discussion, no matter how hard I tried to set things up for him to attempt it, it seemed it was a definite no-go area. I heard second-hand from Kieron that his only other comment to him on the matter was that all girls were ‘slags’ and that he knew ‘all the stuff they do to get pregnant’. He also warned Kieron that he should never get a girlfriend, because they were ‘trouble’.

Despite him not opening up about it to me, his distaste was still palpable and obvious, even if it wasn’t aggressive. He would simply get up and leave any room Riley entered. Riley herself, blooming and beaming, was philosophic, however. ‘He’ll get over it, Mum,’ she said. ‘I know he will. And I’m not taking it personally. So don’t worry about it.’

Bless her too, I thought. And she was spot on, of course. If we ignored it, he’d probably get past it all the quicker. In the meantime, we’d just ride it out.
