My personal title for this chapter is ..The Price of Gratitude!....Lyn experiences this struggle first hand in this chapter ....Can one look the other way,even when something is wrong, out of gratitude?.Lyn is grateful for being friends with Brad. Most of the decisions he has made thus far in the story ,both present and past when they involve Brad have been out of loyalty and gratitude...This I believe is the biggest test he encounters when it comes to Brad.
I mentioned in my previous comment that whatever decision Lyn takes he is damned .. Here the chicken literally comes home to roost when he is confronted by the reality of it...Someone loses either way..
That being said pillow talk has never been so intense like the one that happens in this chapter ...That was communication at its best, at least for me.
