My free phase was short lived because it basically is not who I am either but it now allows me to understand the perspective a little more. I also think it’s good to try out a couple car models before you ride the one long term. One of the things I understood is that there were as many different reasons for doing it, as stars in the sky.

I believe everyone, regardless of orientation should have a “free phase”.

Hank was blinded by his own issues, he was ripe for “a friend to lean on”.

I’d say your observation is fact enough in that you’ve witnessed it happen to others. Gay or straight, that’s a sad mental state. I can understand why there might be more bitterness in the gay community, besides being viewed as a minority, there is a constant battle between conforming via the closet (which I can only imagine is suffocatingly tight) or sometimes literally risking your life to life out loud. That would incite some bitter Bettys.

If you’re going to play, you should always try to play well. 😉 Ask Kevin....then again, maybe not. I know you’ll get to it when you get to it.

I know your previous comment broke down why he went after Hank but do you think Kevin slutted it up after his breakup or was he waiting only for a crack at Hank? (Or for Hank to use his crack?)

It’s a good thing Headstall put all of Kevin’s “Cards on the Table”. It took a while, though. It seems that always takes a while to do. A few chapters....a few years....same thing, right? 😉

That quote is kind of like what I often tell my son: “The answer to every unasked question is a no”.

“Pour vivre heureux, vivons cachés” which basically means “a secret life is a happy life.” It’s the first I’ve ever heard of it but I love this saying.

Whatever, Horseman. If that’s so (which I doubt), that’s by choice.

Yeah....Ima leave that one alone, lol!!

You ain’t old.

LMAO!!!! Smelly? DAAAANNGG. I hope Hank didn’t pick up any fleas laying with that dog.

I love you so much❣️❣️ I think I just like you cursing, LOL!!!!

I believe her I.Q. was in the genius range. As for admitting Cave-In is a hoe bag: 🎊🎉🌈🍾

Seriously 🙄😝

YAY!!!! Welcome to the club. (which I suspect you were always in, ‘cause you knew about that tart from the start, LOL!!)

That funky beyatch (didn’t want to write the actual curse word on your post). 😬 I tried to give the hoe the benefit of the doubt; Gary presented him as a quiet, benign presence, especially qualifying him as both Chase and Hank’s friend but something about when Chase rolled up on the both of these two “loving, devoted” boyfriends (who’d been so devastated in their respective breakups they isolated themselves from everyone except apparently each other) struck me as more guilty than commiserating over a common bond. Unless Kevin always had designs on Hank, he had to know it would be a bad idea to start up anything with Hank so soon after the breakup; Some people don’t mind being a rebound but I think Kevin is now realizing Hank ain’t rebound, he’s still stuck in his feelings for Chase.

What he said, I was thinking the same thing about indiscretions when Charles was telling his story. Not to make light of what Chase did but I can tell you from past experiences that certain indiscretions don’t have to be the death knell of a relationship; Then again, I can also tell you from past experiences certain indiscretions can ring that final bell; It depends on the depth of the indiscretion and the strength of the relationship.

And I too, look forward to knowing what pissed that sneaky bitch off. He got whatever he deserved, in my opinion. Skank. On a more important note, I loved the Jayne Mansfield reference (Chase and Hank’s “who?” was even funnier, LOL!!) Beautiful Mariska Hargitay’s mama is my favorite blond bombshell.

Such a beautiful friendship has evolved between Chase and Dawson. It is your best friend who wants to kick someone’s ass on your behalf while giving you the tough love advice you won’t hear from anyone else. They deserve to have each other, in whatever form their relationship takes. In a perfect world, Dawson would reach out to Brent and get his man back and Chase and Hank would properly reunite....doing the work needed to make their relationship healthier. (I mean, while it’s their world, it’s your creation; You could make that happen Gary, knowing how much you love HEA’s. Alas, I also know you love being realistic and that romantic possibility is likely too trite for you). Christine Leeman is mothering from beyond, the way all mothers do who leave an indelible impression on their children. Chase was too grief stricken to realize that his beloved mother, who loved all weddings, would definitely find a way to be at his in spirit, since she wouldn’t be in body. I’m also glad her wedding present gave Charles the way to let Hank know he was still considered family. For all of Chase’s growth, which has been amazing, (“don’t worry about me, okay? I’m not that guy anymore.” indeed) 👏, he still has a blind spot regarding his relationship with Hank. His guilt over his mistake and his perception of Hank’s strength and inviolable sense of right and wrong have blinded him to Hank’s vulnerabilities and culpability in the aftermath of their breakup. Dawson was spot on in describing Hank’s reactions but Chase hasn’t put down the cross to see Hank’s nail marks. I feel Chase’s declaration of not being that guy anymore worries Hank on a couple levels- 1/Is Chase not the guy that loves him anymore? 2/ If he’s not weepy, needy Chase anymore, what need does Chase have for him? Hank always loved Chase but there was insecurity in that love that being Chase’s savior fed. Chase is learning to walk without crutches now and that opens up Hank’s insecurities again. Oh, Gary, I have no idea which way these relationships will go, I just know you will make the ride damned interesting. (By the way, that didn’t feel like two chapters to me, even though I’ve given a three chapter review, lol.)

Not that it would matter to Raven if it would bring Julian back but I wonder if anything else would be adversely affected if Raven’s able to get Claudia to turn back time. What would Raven do? Would he take the blast himself or would he redirect their actions so they wouldn’t be in the path of the blast? The last may not make a difference if he or Julian were the target.

The piano conversation makes me think that Julian’s death is being faked; If it isn’t and this was how intense things were right between Raven and Julian right before Julian’s death, it makes me sad. To be with someone who truly gets and accepts you is rare. True, Julian had two mates but I feel his connection with Raven runs way deeper than it did with his first mate (her name escapes me, the woman Desmond killed). I’m very interested is seeing where this goes.

This premise is already very intriguing; Continue to post, please. I love seeing Gabriel and Desmond again but it always makes me nervous that something might happen to them. They are my favorite characters of yours, with Katrena and her spawn next. I thought the redhead was her before realizing it was Tess but I don’t think she exists in the same world with Gabriel and Desmond, right? Julian was truly depraved but he and Raven loved each other so I feel for Raven. It’s better that Julian died and not Raven because Julian would not be as placid in his grief as Raven is....then again the story is just starting.

Between you, Danners and BigBen, good ol’ Will has to be whoop whooping somewhere, lol.
