Even in death, though, Calum has a way of pushing her, making her do things she would never normally have done. And soon his memory starts to transform her in unimaginable ways. And then there’s Neal, happily married to Sally, who till Calum’s funeral is unaware he’s still carrying a torch for Alison. He was the man Calum called dad, but wasn’t.
