Jordan 12ll's always been decent to me. He - he wasn't impressed when he
heard what I'd done, but he didn't go on about it. He knew I was really sorry.
None of the rest of the family know I was there. Bill told Mum he and Fleur
weren't going home for Christmas because they wanted to spend it alone. You
