June drabbles - 28

“D’you wanna know a secret?”
“Yeah.”
“Katie was kissing Tom behind the shed.”
“Are they still there?”
“Let’s go and see.”

“D’you wanna know a secret?”
“Sure.”
“I know you were in love with Tom before.”
“Don’t say a word.”

“I wondered. Have you heard?”
“Heard what.”
“Tom’s going off to war.”
“Whatever for?”

“They say Tom’s hurt and coming home.
I guess he hasn’t got a place to stay.”

“I used to have a thing for him,” said Kate.
“I always knew.”
“But you don’t mind.”
“I love him too.
Take care of my big brother please
For me.”
