Brian has put in an amazing effort! what a wonderful chapter. I must say, I'd love to have someone put that much thought and effort into a date. :) Even going so far as to get advise from George. Can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds for them.
Wonderfully romantic. Brian shows more and more just how much he adores Justin. Strangers can even see the obvious. Thankfully he's ready to admit it.
Lovely lovely chapter!!
Cheers,
Elaine

Thank you so MUCh Elaine!! I have to admit that if ever I had a first date again, I would want it to be this way. Brian in any capacity is sexy as all get out but open and honest....YOWSER <in my Emmett voice>!

Sighs, Brian is finally carrying his heart on his sleeve. It taken a long time to get here, and hopefully he'll get it right this time around. I love that he wants to romance Justin, and this house looks like the perfect place to start showing how much he cares...

Hey Kathleen! The house....WHEW! Why can't I be there instead of in the freezing abyss of Rochester, NY?? Talk about living vicariously through characters!
As for Brian, I'm so proud of him! It took a lot of guts for him to open up to Justin about Jack-Joan-John triangle and what's more is that no one else knows except Vic. I think Justin seeing Brian in a different setting is helping the matter the most. It's not that Justin has never seen Brian vulnerable- he has. It's that Brian is feeling comfortable enough in that space and time that, despite his fears, he's trusting Justin with everything that makes Brian himself. That's a major step in the right direction for them both. Now let's see what they do with the rest of the steps.
Happy Reading and HUGS Darling!

great first date and I really liekd that Brian called George for advice. Nice twist on things- I want a beach house
Author's Response:
LOL! Hey Sandy! I want a beach house too! Like NOW! It's freaking freezing here in Rochester, NY and now there's an Artic blast about to settle in tomorrow and Thursday. Between the snow and cold, I'm wishing I was like my neighbors across the street who left for Aruba yesterday and will be gone until April. Lucky Lady and Gent they are!!
I'm really loving the George/Malcolm and Brian/Justin dynamic. They really need to know that a relationship is possible and given George and Malcolm's uneasy road to happiness, I think Brian is seeing what he could really have if he allows himself to.
Happy Reading and HUGS,

This, was storytelling. It was well rounded, emotional and introspective while remaining entertaining and moving the plot forward. Nice job!
Author's Response:
WOW! Thank you so much Gretchen! These guys are making telling their story easy by letting their humanness shine through. I'm very happy to bring this version of Brian and Justin to you all!

What a fantastic chapter. The story of Brian's life was amazing and something I could believe. It looks like this 'first date' is working.
Author's Response:
Thank you so MUCH Phyllis! In the words of Mysterious Marilyn with a slight variation: Brian is writing the script and I'm just typing the lines. Brian has always been an enigma and his family life tumultuous but I always thought there should have been a reason beyond Jack and Joan were just simply hateful people. Life colors each of us differently and based on Jack's 'Never should have been a family man' comments, this definitely could have been a reason why he felt that way. Smart, successful, single and GAY, John had everything Jack wanted (well except for the gay gene). In Jack's world he could have too and that made him even more bitter with his life. Brian being able to talk about it is HUGE!
Justin's desire for a first date is definitely shaping up to be more than either of them bargained for!

Well...well....well my dear Chelle you have done it again! This journey has been magnificent so far and i can't wait to continue the ride.

Whoa!!! What a view!!!
Great chapter, as usual, giving some backgroung to Brian's life.
I hope he will stay this open when they will be back to Pittsburgh. At least, they are making some big changes in the way they communicate; even if they don't keep it like this, it would be better than before.
Author's Response:
Hey Claire! That view is EVERYTHING!! I would never leave that place... which is probably why I don't have it, LOL Currently all I see is piles and miles of white. YICK! Mother Nature has obviously already missed her doses of Prozac and Father Time is being slow on the uptake to remind her to take it. Geez I hate winter!!
Brian is taking tremendous strides towards making Justin his. Thankfully, once Brian makes up his mind that he wants something, he goes after it with everything in his arsenal. Justin is NOT READY for the stops Brian is pulling out on his behalf. I think if they can manage to be completely honest in their wants and needs with each other, anything coming their way will be more Miss than Hit. They will need it in the coming days for certain. But for now, they are reestablishing and reforging their bond and that's all to the good!
Happy Reading and HUGS,
