Great chapter, glad for the break from the intensity of Billy's death and funeral. Don't get me wrong, Brad and Robbie's "break up" was sad, but kinda of expected. Only I thought it was going to be Brad's fault. I actually liked that Robbie is becoming his own man and not just Brad's boyfriend. I hope in the remaining chapters Lark makes a little more than an appearance, after all break ups happen among straight guys also. I actually hope I read more into Armand's cold than was really there. It is the early 80's but that would be a downer of a way to end this series. Thanks again for a great read!
