now that we've finally reached the plot portion of the story...

Dolph is... Dolph. his issues will always cloud his treatment of anyone who isn't strictly normal, i think. and Aedan is definitely not of the normal variety. he may come to his senses at some point. but i wouldn't count on it.

you know, i'm not really sure, either. we'll have to see when we finally get there. hopefully, it'll happen soon. the tension between those two is killing me, you know.

Bruce will certainly get his. as soon as i come up with a plan for the next chapter.

glad you enjoyed my offering, sweets. and thanks for giving it a read
