Maintenance 36/53

[theconservatory]

Well, guys, the holiday rush has subsided, and now I have to figure out how to scale this operation back down to a one-woman job when I've got a third of my house outfitted as an assembly line, lol.  Thanks to all of you who comment & those who have wished me and my business well.  I've been wrestling with this next part every night as I go to

I'm definitely interested in seeing where this goes and how B/J can keep their closeness.

When I saw that you updated, I got those familiar butterflies in my stomach as I thought "what's gonna happen?! what's gonna happen?!"
I'm glad that they are talking about this, and I can't wait to read the rest of the conversation.

I am glad things have begun to settle down for you, but very happy it was a successful venture!

I love the opening of this installment... Justin's posessiveness over everything Brian, even when trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey! Right down to the glar he gave the dungeon master!

But as anxious I was about having Justin hanging there... I am much more concerned about seemingly large communication gap b/ these two. Justin's response to Brian's statement has left me feeing very unnerved....

If this story and exploration has taught us one thing, Brian and Justin know how to use words like scalpels. They each know that with one swipe, they can open the other one up in ways they do not expect.

You could really feel the tension and apprehension after the scene was done, and during the drive home. I do not think there is anything Brian could say in that confined space, that would have pacified Justin. I do not think Justin could let go of the look he saw on Brian's face during his time with Sixty.

I wonder who, or what, Brian will find once he goes inside the house. They obviously have a lot of areas to cover and decisions to make. I just hope honesty and truth wins out.
