And how about living this love outside of the cottage?
"I know I'm j... just a convenience. I don't mind that, because I'll take what I can g... get. I c... can't afford to be... be..." Justin frowned, reaching for the word. "Choosy. I'm thankful for th... that."
Of course it can! Brian had already lost everything so his pride and ego wouldn't be in the way of bringing Justin home to what's left of the family. And Gus is going to adore Justin! I think that not only will their love live outside the cottage, it will thrive!
I think it might be more painful for Brian to dream about the past and how things used to be than the bombing itself. Especially knowing that his life will never be like that again because of the friends he's lost.
Even though Brian actually said I love you, there was such a sadness to this chapter. Everything seems so good now, but what about when Brian eventually leaves? They've almost built a fantasy life at the cottage.

Second comment: I look forward to what happens next because we know that the course of true love (or at least Brian's love) could never run smoothly.
Third comment: Beautiful and raw. Thanks.

Well the Enchanted Cottage is living up to it's name if Brian can admit that.
I'm so happy he's managed to tell Justin that, looking forward to whatever happens next with a little trepidation.
Love from 6frog
