David proposes!
…but Shona thinks it’s too soon for the hairdresser
When David dumped Shona a few weeks ago everyone reeled in shock. If ever there was a couple that was meant to be – against all odds – they were it. What no one knew, of course, was that David had been raped by his so-called mate Josh and was on a mission to self-destruct.
Shona showed her mettle in the wake of their split, standing by David from a distance, sagely convinced something was up. When he finally admitted he’d been attacked by mechanic Josh,
Shona supported him to the hilt. And now David and Shona are where they should be: back together at No.8.
Though David has now reported the crime and is getting his life back on track, he’s far from over what happened and seems to want to run before he can walk.
This week, Shona’s working in the café when he pops in and proposes marriage! He reels when Shona tells him the time isn’t right but, once again, Shona is on the money. David is struggling and his first few days of community service prove that.
This time it’s Billy who’s pulled into David’s turmoil. Having decided he’s going to keep a friendly eye on the hairdresser, Billy’s hurt when he overhears David making homophobic jokes about him. Pulling him up on it, the vicar is stunned when David breaks down and tells him about the rape.
With Shona’s reluctance to get married in mind, will David listen when Billy urges him to go for counselling?
