Until the very end

2018 is coming to an end. Dec isn't sorry to see the worst year of his life go, ready to get back to normal - well, as normal as life can be with a baby on the way.

2019 holds a lot of promise: the new challenges of parenthood; plenty of chances to spend time with Ant again; and a clear head to focus on the problems Stephen buried to help with his own. Because Dec knows those will be back too - and that's not a promise, just a threat.

Sequel to 'The world, coming down', 'As we fall apart', 'I would start a riot', 'If I could shelter you' & 'When we lose it all'
