It looked like it was in Madame Tussauds or something" Barely stifled laughter erupts around the room. And, sure, you'd be among the first to admit that the fingers on his other hand have seen better days. There does indeed seem to be a dent in the hand H from Steps is extending to do a thumbs up with. "Oh yeah, and his eyes are pointing in different directions. "Yeah," chimes another, "His skin looks both sallow and wan, and. He's probably just bitter that you stole the limelight away from him and his dog's increasingly unviable colon. ".Is H from Steps okay? He looks a little bit. "Wow!" Mutters the first to look upon the photo. "What dya think of that?" you ask, passing the phone around. The image flickers onto the screen, and you see yourself, smiling, an arm over the shoulder of H from Steps. "Yeah, it was a few months ago now," you say, swiping through your photos until you find the right folder, marked 'Me + H (from Steps)'.
