They arent sure if they have fallen in love of their own accord, or whether theyve been pushed into each others arms. But who would have pushed them, and why?
Hanging over their lives is a momentous catastrophe a past event shrouded in suspicion, denial and apology, now referred to as What Happened, If It Happened.
