Ralph:
Ralph and Justin had been together for about five years. They were both about to have their thirtieth birthday, and that was Justin’s primary reason to bolt. He couldn’t face being thirty something or having sex with anyone over thirty, so he found himself a boy toy, packed his bags and moved out of their rented apartment, lock, stock and barrel. The only thing he left Ralph was Sniffer, their six month old golden Labrador.
Even though Ralph was devastated, he was not surprised.
