About three months before his disappearance wenoticed subtle changes in Ethan. Puberty was late so it wasn't obviousat first. But he often burst into ...tears. He and Josh were becoming moreintimate, not as lovers, but more like you would expect two teenagegirlfriends would behave. During the last month before he disappeared,Ethan became more modest about his appearance and I noticed slightswelling of his breasts. Nothing to comment about at the time, but itreminded me of when I started puberty. "They're hers aren't they Paul?"I nodded miserably, "Yes I think so" You know they're planning on going away together don't you?" What?"She linked an arm through mine,"They've been milking the company for months now, getting a nest egg together!"I nearly asked how she knew which would have been a dumb question, she was the company accountant!"I see" I felt really stupid!"Do you think we should talk Paul?" Yes, I think perhaps we should, have you told anyone else yet?" No I felt you should be. "It ain't."He just nodded, "Okay ... Jane is so hot that I'd lose weight for her, dude. Like ten pounds maybe. My ma was telling me about this all bacon diet she read about..."Yep, at least The Boz knew how to take it easy and I figured I could probably learn something from that.Miss Haven, now Coach Haven, was in the locker room when I walked in, just as I'd told her to be.

I had no idea things would turn out like they have, but…well, that’s what’s happened. I love him, Dawn, very much. I…I hope you approve of our relationship. I really do. It’s important to me that you do.’ ‘It’s important to me, too, Dawn,’ Ben said. ‘And what your mother says is true for me, too. I’m in love with her. I’ve been in love with her for a long time.’ Dawn sat there, shaking her head. ‘I don’t understand any of this,’ she said. ‘I can’t figure it out.’ She looked across the table at.
