She was Fred's girl. Bill hadn't even thought that the woman might be substituting George for the love she lost, but now that he mentioned it, he could see how that was a possibility. "You're right," he said quietly. "It's been years. Think she would have made the replacement a while back if those were her intentions."
Bill and George had never spent lots of time talking about dating or love. Shagging and pulling birds--sure they had shared a few laughs about that, but that was different and not exactly serious. "She loves you, too, then?" he asked. "Left the other bloke?" Bill nodded. "I don't kiss and tell. Never have."
