TYRONE WORRIES AS MARY WINES AND DINES HIM…

- Kate White

There’s a romantic shock waiting for Tyrone at home this week – Mary and a beautifull­y set lunch table!

Tyrone was nervous last week when Mary offered to babysit daughter Ruby for him, and slipped a nice hot-water bottle in his bed for when he got home. Ty’s best mate Kevin insisted that the touching gesture was proof Mary has the hots for Tyrone, who promptly panicked when he discovered a Valentine’s card on his doormat. Now they’ve managed to match Mary’s handwritin­g to the romantic missive, he’s in crisis mode to put Mary off. The only trouble is, she’s not reading the signs.

“Mary is an all-or-nothing kind of gal – and she’s giving Tyrone her all!” laughs our cobbles insider. “First she babysat, then she warmed his bed, and now she’s making him fancy meals. Ty is convinced that Mary thinks he’s hot to trot too, and willing to ditch Fiz to make a go of it with her. What on earth can he do to cool her ardour?”

It’s not every day that Tyrone is treated to a lasagne and chilled wine for lunch. But rather than be bowled over by the lovely gesture, it sends shivers down the terrified mechanic’s spine. His panic grows when Mary offers to give him a massage, and Ty thinks it’s time he was honest about his feelings. What will Mary say?

“When you are a catch like Tyrone, you’d think you’d get used to letting your admirers

“What can Tyrone do to cool Mary’s ardour?”

down gently,” muses our gossip. “All he can do is be gentle with her feelings, tell her that she must respect Fiz and what they have together, and hope that Mary finds some way to get over the disappoint­ment. It will be a tough road ahead for her, and broken hearts take a while to heal, but Tyrone has to be cruel to be kind.”

Summoning all his courage, Ty asks Mary for a word and explains to her that the only relationsh­ip he can offer is one of pure friendship. His words kick off an awkward chat that will result in more than one red face as they talk through the events of the past week. But when all’s said and done, can Ty and Mary remain good pals?
