Ugh, so I'm really not too fond of this part, but after reassurances from quenchmysoul, I decided to bite the bullet and just post it. I hope you all like it anyway.

Also, sorry, I'm not sorry for the ending to this part. ^^; But, I have my reasons for why I left it the way I did.

Thirteenth in the Hide the Night-verse

Well, they're both being stubborn, and not willing to acknowledge they can be happy without being together-together.

And, yeah, Vince/Caroline is super cute. Also, all the Lecavalier bb's! :D :D :D

Um, what pexy said.

I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but I didn't actually need tissues this time. What's up with that? Most of the time it's heavy crying... and then I realized what the difference was. Vince has Caroline, and two children, and this really perfect life... and I look at him and think, "You selfish bastard, you need to let Brad go".

Why?

Because Brad should have the chance to be happy with Hank. You can't keep everyone and everything forever, Vince!

This story winds me up and tears me down and I love every minute of it. I can't wait for more.

[belial]

I know, right? You want to feel badly for Vinny because he loves Brad, right? BUT HE DOESN'T. He's just a selfish prick and won't let Brad move on and be happy with Hank.

BOO VINCENT!

[blueabsinthe]

Yes, well, Hank isn't exactly making it easy on Brad either. Xd

Kind of what Pexy and Belial said.

Why did you end it there? Ugh. Now that I've finally read all three's side of the story, I don't even know. TOO MANY FEELINGS. I can't hold them in dammit! I want Brad to be with Vince...but then I think more into it and then I want Henke to be happy with Brad...and oh my God this is just too much!

I mean, I can't even express my feelings properly right now...I demand more.

[blueabsinthe]

Why did you end it there?
Uh ... sorry?

Yeah, I know how you feel. When I first started writing the ending, I kept going back and forth between Vince and Hank.

[blueabsinthe]

Thanks! I just had to squeeze Vinny's perspective, because who better to tell about his decision to marry Caroline and what not then the actual person.

But, yeah, I don't know what I would do if I was in the same situation. The obvious thing would be to move on, but at the same time, it's so hard to do so when you feel so handcuffed to everything.

Such a passionate and sad story!

Thank you for giving it to us from Vinny's perspective. I see now how attached Vinny is to Brad, not just for sex, but as such a big part of his life. I'm also glad Vinnie, too, is tortured by memories of Brad even in the shower with Caroline. I don't just feel Vinnie is the selfish bad guy. What gets me is that Vinny thinks Brad is out there having woman after woman in Dallas and New York. Do they never talk about Brad just wanting him (or Hank)? How much the wedding hurt Brad? How tortured they are about the memories? I can't believe Vinny waited until the boat trip to tell Brad about the wedding. What a way to ruin a perfect (perhaps last) long time together. Your brilliant writing has pulled my heart into each of these boys and I am agonizing with them. I don't get the memories, but I spend time before falling asleep coming up with scenarios for them. Damn you!
But keep the chapters coming.

[blueabsinthe]

Thanks!

Yeah, they're both so conflicted.

So glad you like this series!
