Ashi,
Thanks for reading and reviewing the story. I've always been one to reject easy outcomes in stories where all the characters end up being gay, or everything works out perfectly. Mitch would have loved to spend his life with Danny, but in the end he had to settle for just friendship. They couldn't just run into each other and decide to be friends again. It took effort on both of their parts to make the friendship work again. Isn't that true of all friendships and relationships? Both have to want it to work.
