Colin nodded at her words, quietly thinking them over for a moment. "How long did you go off for? I don't think I would go off for more than a few hours. I kind of need sleep and things. I don't have anywhere to go but home. Well, I guess home number two. Where Mum and Dad are is home...but where Dennis, Rose, Justin, and I live is home, too. I like home. Dennis and I still need to talk to Mum and Dad, though."
They really did. They hadn't seen their parents in about five years now. He took a small sip of his tea, smiling a little at her laughter. "I don't understand completely either. He just said that I should imagine it like a tower...with stairs. At the bottom is hugs and cuddles and things...and the higher up you get is other stuff...only all I could think about was the Tower of London and you just...you wouldn't want to have sex or kiss or cuddle there, right?"
