Hey, Doc. There was no doubt for me about what this chapter would be titled. Jubal is the definition of the word, but as Vincent once told him, fear can keep a man upright... and alive. The awkwardness started at the mercantile, and he has continued to be overwhelmed. Scrutiny of any kind scares him, and that is so sad, but understandable for a gay man who has suffered at the hands of others. And yeah, Reid and Lucas saw his skittishness in real time. What happens next?
Thanks, my friend. I hope you enjoyed this bomb of a chapter thrown into the mix. Cheers!
