I liked that Reid immediately believed Luke when he said he didn't go to Dallas to lure Reid back to Oakdale.

Even though Damian lied, I am glad he is really not so bad after all.

Reid laughed. “And that night we met, I’m glad you weren’t gay; otherwise, I never would’ve met Luke.”

Haha. I like their relationship.

Yay for happy endings! I really enjoyed this series. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

So happy you caught this! It was important to show that Reid does believe Luke over anyone else.

Damian lies and manipulates but he is trying to be decent for Luke, he really is.

Thanks so much for reading! I'm waiting to see which prompt 'wins' so I can get started on my next fic. :)

THANK YOU!!!

I know I took forever finishing this fic but I was going to finish it. Thanks for being patient along with everyone else.

Oh, I'm so glad and relieved that you like this version of Damian. He really was trying to be a good dad to Luke and he even wanted to be a good husband to Lily but he was too late for that.

Honestly, your comments always make me squee so thanks for always taking the time to read and comment. :)

Very deserving ending to a great story in two parts.

Bad dad is not so bad

He will always choose for Luke his happiness. With some mistakes along the way.

Oakdale is not so bad.

Reid knows how crazy the town is but thankfully beliefs that being with Luke is worth the craziness. Even buying a house to make it official.

Reid does like Oakdale because Luke is there. And even with all the craziness, he'll be okay. They both will.

Thank you so much for reading!

Although Damian did manipulate the situation, he did not influence Reid and Luke. At least not when it mattered, they fell in love on their own.
YES! You state it perfectly here.

Thanks so much for reading! I don't want the next one to be my last but we'll see. :)
