She nodded and whispered the words "thank you" before shivering more violently than before making her pull the arms of Gerry's coat tighter around her body.

"Let's get you home, you're going to catch your death".

Sandra smiled, until now she never really felt that anyone one had really cared about her wellbeing before.

They completely forgot about their cars that were still in the pub car park as they walked home still reeling from Gerry's confession, it wasn't that far to Sandra's anyway and as they moved Sandra warmed up a little.

Back at hers Sandra felt up to a glass of wine now she poured herself and Gerry a glass, handing Gerry his he took both glassed and put them down on the counter. He lifted her chin up slightly with his thumb and with the back of his other hand he moved her fly-away hair which had been caused by their walk away from her face. They both smiled as Gerry moved in closer his lips gently pressing onto hers, he whispered her name into her mouth knowing how right it felt, he sensed she felt it too as she kissed him back rather passionately.

For the first time Sandra Pullman sensed and electric like energy pass from Gerry to her, her heart double jumped as her stomach fluttered. She has never felt this strange sensation before but she knew she could get used to it maybe this was what Gerry meant when he said people made it up as they went along. Maybe this strange sensation was the start of that crazy little thing called 'love' that everyone raved about.

So I'm not going pull you down

Whilst you pull me down

And I'm not going to shout at you

Whilst you shout at me because I've realised that real love is free

Let's leave it alone

We can work it

Find our way

Forget the past

Cos I love you and you love me

So let's leave it alone

We can work it

Find our way

Forget the past

Cos I love you and you love me

So let's crawl free

They clung shoulder to shoulder for a while, Sandra felt safe like this she never thought she would ever have found out how to be loved or even what love was but now she knew what she felt might not have been love yet but it was special.

Taking Gerry's hand she took him in the direction of her bedroom, signalling that she was ready for someone who cared about her to take proper care of her now and hopefully forever.

Later that evening she watched Gerry Standing fall asleep in her bed next to her with his arms tightly wrapped around her, she smiled to herself who would have thought he would be the one to teach her a thing or two about relationships.

Will you still be here tomorrow

Or will you leave in the dead of the night?

So your waves don't crash around me,

I'm staying one step ahead of the tide.

Will you leave me lost in my shadows

Or will you pull me into your light?

Teach me how to be loved

Teach me how to be loved.

Sandra Pullman hoped that this time she knew the answer.
