Which vacations? There never will be any vacations again... (heul) ;-) No, don't take me too serious. Today the politicians meet again to talk about further steps and it won't be good ones because the numbers going up again. It's so depressing...

This chapter... Oh, what can I say.. I'm so disappointed of Justin. I can't really understand why he's so scared of completely losing Gus to Brian. He should have a little more faith in Gus, too. Gus is still very young, but I‘m sure he wouldn't be okay with Brian forbidding him to continue seeing Justin and Ethan (if he moved in with Brian) - just like the other way around. He wouldn't also accept it, if Justin would forbide him to see Brian. They have to find a solution and as I wrote before, up to a certain limit they have to include Gus in those decisions. With that money Brian could easily move into a bigger apartement where Gus could have his own room. "One can only hope" - Justin is right ... He should be totally ashamed of those words and thoughts. He's selfish and cruel. And I‘m even more disappointed of the way Justin treats Brian. He loved him sooo much and now it seems as if there are no feelings left. He mentioned it himself, Brian has nearly no one left, he went through hell those last years and now he is so alone and Justin doesn't seem to care. When he went to Brian to give him those papers, he didn't even ask Brian how he is doing, he didn‘t aks if he needs any help with anything or help to cope with this new situation in Canada after going through hell in Gilead, he doesn‘t even want to know what happened to Brian, what he‘s been through!!! He just gives him those papers, wants to pay him back that fucking money and fears to lose Gus. How selfish and cruel!!! Time goes by since Brian returned and he doesn't spend any time with Brian and at least tries to be a friend (even if we know that this is probably not possible). At the moment I can't imagine how they will get together again and I'm really curious how you'll manage this (and I‘m looking forward to this part of the story). Again, just like the last one this chapter made me really sad and really disappointed of Justin. If it wouldn't be for Ethan being the voice of reason, there maybe would even be a fight about Gus, and that's so wrong after everything Brian went through. Shame on you, Justin.

And I'm so curious how this night will went which Gus will spend at Brian's. In my imagination, Brian will have such nightmares, that Gus has to call Justin and Justin would come and finally be there for Brian, crying his eyes out and apologize to him because he wasn't there for him earlier... haha :-) Why isn't it already Sunday? Stay healthy and warmest regards!

Author's Response:

My grandfather will get his vaccine on Monday, so I am really happy about that :) As for the meeting between Angela Merkel and the "Länderchefs" - wow... can you be any worse at doing your job? It's embarrassing by now to see how much influence the industry has. We can close schools, we can forbid people from meeting other people, etc. but god forbid, we actually force the industry to do mandatory testing in their factories or to give people an extra day off - NO! All of Germany will collapse because of one additional day off. 

I am not saying that the whole idea was well-thought through, but to see them go back after just 12 hours the way they did last week was really embarrassing :( And I am shocked that they still have found no way to stop people from going to Mallorca. In Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain and several other countries in Europe there are rules in place that forbid people from leaving their towns, counties or states without an essential reason. In Ireland you have to pay a 2000 Euro fine if you leave Ireland without an essential reason (meaning for touristic purposes to go travelling). But in Germany? Well, we saved Lufthansa and Tui with tax money, but there is no way we can stop them from adding 300 flights to Mallorca and selling every last seat on those flights. It's really embarrassing to watch by now :( 

But what can you do? It's a Superwahljahr and not pissing of your voter base is more important than actually introducing some rules that might make sense...

Back to the story: I know that everyone is very disappointed with Justin. So am I :( Can we just blame it on him being totally overwhelmed by everything that's going on right now? No? Yeah, I thought so...

You know how the saying goes: It'll get worse before it gets better, so I am afraid to say that there will be some more drama coming Brian's and Justin's way before we get to a stage of them working everything out... 

As for your projections for the night Gus will spend at Brian's place: You are very spot on about some part of it, but wrong about some other part of it. That's all I can say for now ;) 

More will be up tomorrow :) As always, thanks for your lovely comment - it's much appreciated! Stay safe! :)
