Interesting. I think even if you hadnt mentioned it was AI it reads like its written to a script. This doesnt made it ad, just formulaic. As to the future, Id imagine a few challenges on the way to and in Abilene before they finally get their Brokeback Mountain cream!

Where's the Ambien when you need it? The stress of all this goody goody, lovey dovey, peace and no drama is bloody killing me. Its like the worst sort of cliffy! I mean there is edging, and there is edgjng.... at some point we need inevitable explosion: Bring It On! Pleeeese!

All this "perfection waiting for the fall" is really really stressfull.... 😥 🥰

Ambien...cocaine...adhd... i forsee tears before bedtime. The Austin / Will scenario was inevitable. Travis; I feel a set up coming. All is going waaaay too smoothly in his world. And as all long-time lurkers in Arbour-world know "smooth" is just the preface to chaos!

I agree that all actions from A to D are likely, I just cannot see how any of that will stop our hero's abilty to get men into his bed..... As far as I can tell the only occaisons our man hasnt been able to slake his lust is mid battle, and that I am sure is only because they have packed up his cabin!

My mind went to Schwarzkopf a brand of hair shampoo....

"The shaving of the crew" should be an interesting scene! Great for our hero to be back in his second home (his first being bed with a handsome man). The task ahead tho' is going to be a challenge, one I am sure our great and wonderful author will make as stimulating as ever!

We were in Muscat yesterday; 36° at 6am.... warm even by Australian standards!

Two questions: why fly Singapore Airlines ( tho' admittedly they were better then than now) and second flying Singaore airlines trans pac adds 6 hours to the flight; youd have to love flying.... I envy his passage through immigration.... Finally; awesome choice of car, for its time. Thanks.

Your depiction of Kevin who for decades "knew" he was straight despite uncomfortable questions popping up from time to time, but now wonders not only "what if", but "what", and then internalises it as potentially and catastrophically life changing, is very well done. I would say there are many men who "came out" (to themselves and or others) later in life who have been down that route. Then in hindsight, those same men look back and wonder at why the mental anguish; like so many things in life, we try it, we like it and do it more, or we don't and mark that off to experience! It will be interesting to see Kevins developement...

If there's going to be trouble in paradise, may as well head to Australia!

Given others are heaping crap on you, @PrivateTim I thought it only fair.... As this chapter IS "all about him", I'm not sure we can criticise Will for making the story all about him, at least not here and now... 😘

Mr Arbour is SO cruel! As if Austin either breaking off his relationship or "opening it up" will not involve a complete meltdown in Wills relationship. On the other hand “Our Gladiator, who art in Adams, hallowed be thy abs.”; Pure gold! Thank you.

I sense a Mark Arbout trap... is it Finn? Of course I could be wrong, after all Mr Arbour is an honourable man....

Good god, isnt the bloke on the right ( brown hair) the very definition of wholesome? Initially I was going to say he looks like me 50 years ago, but I am not sure I ever looked that innocent....
