I can’t explain it’s simply because I love it ) Some people think football is a matter of life and death.I assure you it is much more serious than that:- Bill Shankly (manager of Liverpool) ““Plenty of room in there for everyone,” said Olivier, eyeing his large partner. Constance had had no dealings with homosexuals before this, at least not that she knew of. All she knew about them was that they were “they.” Not “us.” And “they” were unnatural. At her most charitable, she’d considered homosexuals defective. Diseased. But mostly, if she thought of them at all, it was with disapproval. Even disgust. Until four days ago. Until the snow began to fall, and the little village in the valley was cut off. Until she’d discovered that Olivier, the man she’d been cool to, had dug her car out. Unasked. Without comment. Until she’d seen, from her bedroom window in Myrna’s loft above the bookstore, Gabri trudging, head bent against the blowing snow, carrying coffee and warm croissants for villagers who couldn’t make it to the bistro for breakfast. As she watched, he delivered the food, then shoveled their porches and stairs and front walks. And then left. And went to the next home. Constance felt Olivier’s strong hand on her arm, holding her secure. If a stranger came into the village at this moment, what would he think? That Gabri and Olivier were her sons? She hoped so.
