#SingleWordSignposts 8 — Found

Malcolm has found a lover in Kelsey. Could you imagine the Mighty Malcolm Tucker, the ex-Dark Lord of Downing Street, and the Spinny Spider-Man, being in love? He was married once. He lost his wife, whose name was Anna, to cancer. It was so long ago now.

Still, he has a chance for something wonderful again. Far away from politics, Kelsey and Malcolm are different people.

#SingleWordSignposts 7 — Laughter

A stolen moment here, a lunch break there — it was all just a way to get through the day. They laughed together. Kelsey, even while she had her drug addiction issues, made Malcolm's days brighter while they were busting their arses in Opposition. She helped. She had no idea, of course, but she got him through it all. They WERE and ARE friends.

#SingleWordSignposts 6 — Acting

Malcolm put on quite a façade during his two vastly different times in government, both before and after his short stint in prison. Kelsey begged, pleaded, and eventually dragged him back to politics. He became a good actor at a young age. It was all just a façade. He might be a (Senior Advisor and Chief Whip) bully but that isn't all that there is to him.

#SingleWordSignposts 5 — Cooking

Malcolm could be a Master Chef. Okay, that's a bit much. Steady on. He's fantastic in the kitchen, though. It's rather peaceful for him. He can relax, listen to music, and cook. One could even call it the most comforting room in his townhouse, perhaps. To him, anyway. Kelsey just recently learned about his cooking abilities as well. It's a new discovery for her.
