I hope this isn't the end either, because it leaves so much unresolved on the Steve front. He spends so much time standing silently on the sidelines when big decisions are made. Will he finally start thinking for himself? Can he stick to the decisions he makes? He's shown himself to be a vacillating coward so far. If he stays with Clay, he'll have to come out. Can he see a future possibly without pro football? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if readers take issue with Clay and Steve being intimate so soon after the attack. To that I would say, people heal in different ways. Who are we to judge? Also: more Heidi!
