Such a wonderfully tense chapter. Even though I wanted to reach over and shake Ryan out of his self-inflicted isolation, I know I'm the very same way so I can understand. 'Don't want to overstay my welcome' - yeah, I've thought that once or twice when actually it would have been healthier, and better, to simply reach out instead of drawing back. I guess the complexities of emotions and relationship interactions are kind of hard for some guys to grasp. Also, I want to know Clayton's secret! It's coming, I can feel it!
