Noah showing up to the farm. Well that was a shock. So much for keeping up appearances. Ugh!!! I'm glad that Luke told Noah how he was feeling. It needed to be said. Luke can only keep things inside for so long. And Luke is right. Their relationship shouldn't be so much work. And, to me at least, that Luke is doing all the work in said relationship. Noah does what he does, and Luke supports him, even though it hurts him in the long run. And I latched onto the word loved because it seems like Luke might be letting go of Noah and of what they had/have. Maybe he's starting to put himself first. People don't usually use past tense when talking about someone that they love. I hope that made sense. And I always love the Luke/Reid talk. And Luke was so spot on with Reid. I think Reid was shocked that Luke knew the kind of person Reid is since they never talk about Reid. Loving how Luke's words during their appt. affected Reid to change how he teaches his class. Snarky but showing a little caring Professor Reid. :) Reid noticing that Luke

I think that Noah is paranoid about keeping up appearances, but after what happened the day before, I think he was scared about Luke and had to see him. Yes, there was a reason why I used loved, but Luke has some interesting role models. Noah is his first love and I think he's going to fight for that.

Reid is definitely affected by Luke. And I think he likes to believe he's got this great wall around himself, but Luke sees right through him.

Sam cares about Reid no matter what, but they all have a job to do. I think Luke really does influence how Reid handles this case.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and insights. And as far as your pessimistic concerns, I don't think I couldn't write a happy ending for Luke and Reid. ~Ali

Yeah, I think Reid does feel a lot, he may keep it hidden, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care or love others.

The poetry assignment will come up again.

Reid knows everything, what he does with that or even acknowledges it, that's another question.

Sam cares about Reid but yeah, he knows something is going on. Will he let it go or will he force Reid to talk about it?

Thanks for your comments. ~Ali

I like that Luke finds it so easy to talk to Reid. Not only am I worried about how Reid is going to do his job but now I'm starting to wonder how Luke will take the news about why Reid is really in town.

Also can't believe how selfish Noah is being. That he has the audacity to be jealous of Luke hanging out with Casey. Here Noah is building a life with Ameera and just expecting Luke to be waiting on the sidelines always available in cause Noah might happen to need him. I'm so glad Luke was honest with Noah about the state of their relationship and definitely looking forward to when Luke is ready to move on.

[gradgirl_07]

Thank you. Yeah, I don't think that Luke will take the news about Reid's job too well.

Noah, he's confused and I think he honestly wanted to help Ameera, but didn't think about the consequences.

And I think Luke is going to be ready to move on.

Thank you for reading and commenting. I enjoy reading everyone's ideas and insights. ~Ali

I got this funny image of the field agents hiding around in the grass, and behind newspapers with holes in them, and stuff like that xD Real spy-tricks!
Ah, silly boys, you know you're attracted to each other. Just jump over the desk and have some fun!
Luke was hurt. How could Noah be jealous? Luke felt like he was always waiting for Noah to catch up. “You’re married, Noah. You live with Ameera. Casey is my straight friend. How could you-”
Yes! Thank you! Stupid Noah. It's so rude of him to act jealous when he is the one who has absolutely no reason to be!

I love the image you provided of the agents. It's too good! Yes, they are attracted to each other, why the heck haven't they acted on it? For Reid, he's got to be an agent and a professor and doesn't want to cross any lines. For Luke, I think it's not registering that a man like Reid is attracted to him.

Noah is just confused and concerned. He wants to be with Luke but he put them all in this situation and he's not sure how to get out of it.
