Upon returning to the North East, Malcolm quickly made friends with a very glamorous and charming girl at Gateshead Grammar School called Isabelle. It wasn't long before they were courting-- at the tender age of 14-- and they quickly realized that they were both deeply and madly in love. This was no ordinary love-- they were a modern day Romeo and Juliette. Any of you who happened to see them walking out of a cinema a couple of years ago would have noticed that they were still holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes as they walked. They were, in short, the Gold Standard of love.
