To think we were all hoping for a stress-free loving Valentine's Day for Ballum only a few weeks ago - and now this is where we're at! Ben anxiously waiting for the money from his dad to arrive, and Keanu giving Callum the big villainous 'poor me' speech. They're both truly suffering! Screencaps for this… Continue reading 14th February, the minute it lands

Hey guys!

Oh, the angst! There was a bucketload tonight. Frantic Ben and scared Callum. And absolutely no doubt about how much Ben loves Callum and how precious he is to him.
