.and it would be so easy for me to wrap my arms around you, take you to bed, and just start over...because I still love you, Reid, I do. But......I can't be with anyone right now. I need to be alone. I need to prove some things to myself. And it has nothing at all to do with you and everything to do with me. I can't filter my life through someone else. I have to be selfish right now. I have to. I have to be well, and I don't think I'll ever be well if I can't be on my own."
Well, Luke shouldn't have kissed Reid if he'd already knew that... but hindsight is easier than foresight... I feel so sorry for Greg but he did the right thing...Now someone needs to cuddle hurt little Reid. Love Katie!!!
You are correct, Luke should not have kissed Reid at the pond, but unfortunately, our hearts do not always consult our brains.
I feel sorry for Greg too, but let's face it...he was a roadblock that needed to be moved out of the way...LOL.
Yes, Reid is definitely a little bruised right now, and we'll see more of it in the next chapter. He's in love with two people and not with either of them.
So much beauty and pain in this! My heart aches for everyone involved. I feel sorry for Greg because he loves someone who can never really love him back, not 100%. I feel sorry for Luke and Reid because they love each other, but can't be together because of the timing. But the person I feel the worse for is Katie.....she's stuck with Chris.
Remarkable job navigating through the emotions in this chapter chapter making no one the villain. Bravo to Luke for putting on the brakes realizing what he needed for himself. With Reid's head and heart telling him different things the separation from both men will do him good. Well done my friend!
Yes, I think it's good for both of them to be on their own for awhile. Reid's emotions are raw, and Luke really does need to find himself and learn to trust himself. Both of them are a little emotionally bruised right now. I think it's safe to say that Reid's going to retreat back into his protective shell. In my head canon, he always has abadonment issues (not that he'd ever recognize that, or admit it if he did). And Luke...he has some growing up to do.
On to chapter four...I hope it doesn't take me forever to write it. LOL.

I know...I feel really bad about Greg, but Reid's heart belongs to another, and Greg saw that, so he did the right thing.
It's a terrible situation all the way around right now...nobody is truly happy.
But stay tuned for chapter four...which I hope doesn't take me another three months to write!
Thanks for reading and commenting.
