Episode 10 - The Alex Conversation

Alex texted me on a Thursday. Not come over tonight or I've been thinking about you. Just: Can we talk? Which, in anyone's language, is a sentence that sits in your stomach like a cold stone. I went over on Friday evening. He'd made food, which he'd never done before — a proper thing, with effort — and we sat at his kitchen table like two adults and he looked at me and said: "I think I'm falling in love with you."
