44Your Spaniel Heart » by TheShakespeareCode
"When you love someone…" he began carefully. "Their…their flaws only highlight their perfections…make them seem even more perfect than they already were." Based on Alan Bennett's play "The History Boys". I have tried to stay true to the characters, but I utilise much artistic license. Rated T for strong language and sex references from the beginning. Hope you enjoy xxx
