"For our marriage’s sake. Let him go.” That is one powerful statement.
This ended very good. It looks like the family strifes are somewhat healed, until the next time somebody gets bend outta shape.
Thank you for this wonderful story.

Brian says Ben's a smart guy... well, Brian is a smart guy, too. I don't think Brian will let himself too close. Especially after the poor 'sorry' he imparted. Michael is going to have to show in voice, as well as actions, before Brian truly forgives him.
You could see how insincere it was when Michael blurted out: "But I apologized!"
Brian asked him to leave and apologize tomorrow... but Michael just couldn't do that. I sure hope Brian lays it on the line about how important this client could be for him.

Congrats to Kinnetik.
Jack sounds interesting. That'll be something to be able to spend time together with another artist, instead of stuffy advertising people.

Good for Brian. The switch to Pittsburgh is paying off,
Ben and Justin had a nice visit. I'm still worried about Michael. Of course, he'll aplogize, but I can bet he does it flippantly. He'd never be serious about it. Maybe Debbie should drag him over there, and make him apologize until he sounds sincere. Then she could box his ears every it wasn't.

Ah... how sweet of George. And I'm so very happy that you have him still around, and then to know they actually had their trip around the world. Wonderful.
I almost cried with Emmett's and Justin's reunion. I do hope we get to hear a little more about that. Especially the way Emmett stubbed him in Babylon. If Emmett was upset, then how could he continue to turn away from him? Doesn't quite make sense.
Cute puppies. Naughty puppies.

Positively a perfect birthday. I guarantee this was a birthday that Justin could have never predicted.

CONGRATULATIONS, BRIAN! About time you laid it on the line to Michael. Live with the knowledge that you fucked that up. Touché!
I sure hope he lays into Lindsay too. I still find it hard how he got to Lindsay and Melanie ike he did.

I hope Justin soon realizes he doesn't need other men. I can see why now, since he wants to be sure things work out.
I find it hard to believe that Debbie never realized that no one was speaking to Justin. She must have heard stuff in the diner. The Avenue isn't quiet when it comes to gossip.
Now that Debbie suspects Michael... that widdle boy better hang his head,

I love the new confidence that Justin has. Definitely more mature than all those 30+ year-olds.
Best thing I've read in a long time. ENOUGH! and Michael being immature. I can't believe Ben didn't have the same response for Michael. Debbie either. I would have been so embarrassed to have my spouse or my kid harping like that.
How long has Michael been back? Did he have anything to do with no one talking to Justin? It just seems so strange, I didn't get that impression from Lindsay. It just seems that the family came up with that. But then again, if Mihael had anything to do with that, Debbie would have cracked the whip.
Debbie was impressed with the car. Just wait until she squeals with the knowledge that Brian's moving back. Hope it;s not a really fancy restaurant.

Gotta love Cynthia! That was great she had all the info Brian needed. Brian needs someone to bounce these ideas off with. Sometime a person gets so bogged down with too many things. e.g. Justin, Gus, Kinnetik...
Public sex and illicit drugs. Duh! Jennifer felt the need to explain that to Brian. LOL That was one of the places Brian frequented.
I'm glad Brian's realizing that he truly hurt Justin, and it will take some time. Justin is still young. Brian needs to understand that.

Justin lives at the loft? How very apt. I just can't believe that Lindsay didn't know where he lived. I would think Justin has told Debbie... I just can't see her being quiet about something like that. I would have thought that guys from Babylon would have had that buzzing. "Kinney's old twink lives in the loift!" So the guys would have had to hear that too.
Nice changes Justin made in the loft. The balcony sounds wonderful.
So glad they are already reconnecting. Has Brian had his bout with cancer?

First... Why didn't Lindsay know where he was showing his art? I loved that he caught her by surprise with his success. I wish he could have made a few more digs, but maybe that time will come.
I'm wondering why none of the rest of the family seemed to be at Gus' party. Especially Debbie. Is Michael still in Oregon? Because I can't see him passing up time he could spend seeing Brian. And no Emmett or Ted. Are they not seeing each other anymore?

I'm glad Justin threw himself into Brian's arms. No sad and uncomfortable moments.

The story seems vaguely familiar. After Covid, I don't remember the details I used to, so that's half the reason for all the read-throughs.
Strange the women and Emmett gave up on Justin. But I suppose that works best.
Our Justin seems to have picked up Mr. Kinney's sexual habits. Only thing, it appears Justin has no problem with repeats.
So glad Brian realized he might have known who painted the picture.

This was a great story, from start to finish!! Brian has definitely seen the error of his ways and regretted how he left Justin 6 years ago, but I was happy to see that from the moment he found him again, he did everything in his power to make it up to him!!

I'm glad they are on the same page when it comes to the tricking. It makes building a relationship a lot easier.
