"I'm glad that's over," Reverend Bradley sighed, as he and Lexi made it back to the vicarage. The Nine Lessons and Carols service was always well-attended.
Soaring energy prices be damned, the vicar thought, as they went in, and felt the warmth from the radiators. There was nothing worse than coming home to a freezing cold house, especially when you felt under the weather. And Reverend Bradley wasn't feeling too good at all right now. The nausea had come on suddenly, half-way through the service, and it was steadily getting worse.
"Can I get you anything, Will?" Lexi said as the reverend slumped on the couch, a pained expression on his face. "Cup of tea, or some water? Aspirin?"
"No thanks, Lex." He paused as he took a deep breath. Cramps assaulted his abdomen again.
"Did you eat something a bit dodgy?" she replied, sitting beside him.
"No, not this time. And I've stayed off the booze, but Lord, my stomach's playing up now. Well...you know I'm a bit of a sickly vicar. What with my lactose intolerance and all. Trouble is, I absolutely love cheese and other dairy. I shouldn't keep eating it. I always suffer with the runs due to my sins. It doesn't make me want to throw up though."
"Have you had diarrhoea?" Lexi asked, remembering that time a few weeks in the church toilets, when he'd been ill from food poisoning.
"Nope. Nothing wrong at that end. Haven't eaten any dairy. No drink. It's just my stomach. I just feel really sick...nauseous...uhh. It's getting worse. I have the awful feeling I may have caught the norovirus that's going round. Several people at church have had it. Liz, Netta and Victoria. And the curate."
"Aww," Lexi smiled, with mock sympathy. "Well, couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people." The three persons in question were all on the parochial church council, and had raised eyebrows upon discovering that the vicar was in a relationship with a much-younger woman. "Didn't take them long to find out, did it?"
"Old ladies from tight-knit communities like this have a way of finding out everything," Reverend Bradley said, as he massaged his bloated abdomen. "They probably know my inside leg measurement and what I eat for breakfast."
"Narrow-minded busybodies," Lexi grumbled. "We're two single, consenting adults. What's their problem? How dare they try and report me to that Safeguarding woman!"
"They don't like change, or anything slightly un-conventional," Reverend Bradley replied, taking a deep breath. The colour had drained from his face and he felt sicker than ever. "I'm not one to lose my temper, but I told them straight, and Graham backed me up. They won't dare say anything else."
"I like Graham," Lexi smiled. "He's a great organist and he was so friendly and welcoming to me when I first started attending this church."
"He's in a similar position to us. His girlfriend Sarah is twenty years younger than him. Plus...I've helped him out a few times in the past."
He winced again, and Lexi slipped her arm round his shoulders.
"Will?"
