One has to wonder how secure the milt filter is with Jasper and his keeping steady employment. I don't think her salary alone will be enough to support the two of them. The 64-thousand-dollar question is, how comfortable will she feel if the maintenance from Brian stops. In fact, would she think that she may have to pay maintenance back to Brian??
I still have to think that Brian and Toby, and by extension, Gordon, are on solid grounds. I can't for the life of me think that any judge would condone putting a gay child in a homophobic house...considering the recording and Toby's notes.
Robert Hugill...as to you question as to where to end the story, perhaps you should get back to us in another 30 chapters or so from chapter 36...On to Normandy!!!!
