I continue to love this story and am really glad it's back!
Dan strikes me as a bit of an old soul. He's very intelligent, but I think sometimes that he's overanalytical and assumes the worst. His fear of his parents reacting negatively towards his sexuality is one example. From what we have seen so far, I don't think there's been any sign that they really would react badly, but he makes leaps of judgement and has a skill for justifying thme in his own mind. A dangerous combination.
Glad he got a kiss from David though, even if he seemed a little unimpressed with it. I wonder if he's so used to not enjoying anything that he can't even properly like what he's fantasized about for so long.
As for Rodolfo, I thought before that he was either Chris or David, but after this chapter and his dismissual of his gay friends as "not his type" I certainly hope not!
Anxiously awaiting the next chapter. They are always a highlight of my weekend, sad as that may be.
