There seems to be three options for TR, but are there???
Sojourn, you hold the cards, but Jed is a jerk--having his "better-than-yours" horse piss on TR, plus he has some kind of history with Doc that hasn't been shared with us...yet. So, the way I see it, TR has two choices, Bill or David.
David has some issues accepting the fact that he is gay. Susan has left him, but David hasn't dealt with the divorce. It is almost as if he is holding on to a piece of paper that he sees as proof that he is straight. He wants to be with TR, but doesn't know how, when (if) he ever figures it out he will be there for TR through thick and thin and be a true soul mate.
Bill, he is a nice guy, but is ruled by the WRONG head, as in the one below the belt. He is sort that notches the head board and is after a quick f**k. Is he there for the long haul; I say no (but again Sojourn holds those cards!).
TR is currently living in the present and enjoys a good f**k, but when the sex wanes, what happens to the relationship? It looks like Julie needs to run some interference (and fast!) or David will not be there for TR when TR needs a real friend.
Sojourn, the story is coming along great, thanks for the story and I can't wait for another installment!
