I finally registered so that I could comment on this story, particularly this chapter. A beautifully written moving chapter. As a fellow Aussie, although somewhat younger than Max and Charles, I grew up in Abba's prime years. A most befitting song choice for their first dance as a married couple, given Australia's love affair with those fabulous Swedes. A tear or two has been shed reading this story, particularly this chapter. I look forward to more of this story, which as written about older gay men, is something of a rarity. Well done Wombat Bill.
