This has been boggling my mind now for the past few hours
What if Danny just settled for a life with Jake just because the picture painted by a few people close to him, was that there would be no other option for him if he stayed behind?
He ruled out any possibility with Nate because he didn't even consider coming clean with him about anything due to fear
It has been evident from the very first chapter of Book 1 that Nate and Danny share a very deep, true, pure, unbreakable bond
I actually believe they are endgame ... I just don't know how many years it will take for them to get there
I'm just rambling
