This chapter made me wish it was in Justin POV so I'd know what Deb and Brian said to him. Hopefully, he'll tell Dan about it later on.
"It is," Justin said. "I'm concentrating on graphic design. It's more of a business school approach."
Ooh, plot thickens. I think it's sensible of Justin to concentrate on graphic design, since it uses his artistic abilities and gives him a living wage. But I wonder why he didn't defend his decision when Brian blew up about it. Other people defended him instead. I wonder what Justin feels about the change in focus.
"Absolutely," Dan agreed. "I crack open people's chests and cradle their beating hearts in my hands, and you... sell them toilet bowl cleaner. It's almost exactly the same thing."
LOL. The parts where Dan talks about his job and defends Justin's decision remind me eerily of Brian. That same arrogance, the age difference, how they both support Justin's artistic endeavors, that put down. Methinks Justin has a type--arrogant older men. Also has a touch of daddy complex.
They had an entire conversation without exchanging a single word, but Dan wasn't sure what they said.
Oh yeah, that is so B/J. Though I really want to know what was said and negotiated.
It wasn't so much a look of anticipation at the evening's coming attractions but more the benevolent look you'd give an old, arthritic dog as he struggled to jump down off the couch.
Wonder if this is Dan's insecurities talking, or if Justin isn't getting his needs met. Either one would be interesting.

Hee! I love it! Ted says something very similar in the next part. Not even Brian can deny it!

Hmmm, perhaps it will become clearer in the next part (or two!)
Thanks for the comments! They're much appreciated!
