Re: trailer park: alex and mal
Mal didn't know who 'that Mimi girl' was, but he took the statement at face value. As usual, he plowed ahead without thinking too much about his response. "That's not true. You're an attractive young man on his own in a new town. You never know who might become attached to you without you even being aware. That's why you need to be careful."
He looked over at Alex. Acting on instinct, he gently grasped him by the elbow and pulled him to a halt.
"Have you told anyone about this?" His demeanor had changed completely. Any attempted lightness was dropped. "Seen a doctor?"
