The relationship between Howie & Leigh just fascinates so much, I guess ‘cause I know the least about her since she seems the most private. I don’t even know what her voice sounds like. (Is there any video of her speaking). I wanna tell Leigh, “Aww, listen to his pleading tone. Take him back, girl. Who cares if he’s gay, he can probably still get it up for you. Oh wait, I keep forgetting he gave you and your son HIV after he cheated on you. Hmm, I’m torn.”
lol “white sheet draped across his godlike body”, Howie sure was seeing Nick with beer goggles in his dream. Poor Nick not wanting to infect anyone with his bleeding knuckles.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I don't know much about Leigh either, including what her voice sounds like, now that you mention it! She and Howie seem to have a very loving relationship in real life, so this is definitely a stretch - but under the circumstances (which are also a stretch LOL), I could see any wife/mother reacting this way. I think it's the HIV/Holden that really has her upset, more than him being gay and cheating on her with a man. Thanks again for taking the time to type up your thoughts. I love reading them! :)

Oh Nick. I kind of felt really bad for him in this chapter because he didn't want to tell anyone but I also agree with him that this was not the time or place for it. Everybody reaction was spot on too, they reacted the way I'd thought they would. I loved AJ for trying to be supportive because I feel if any of them were actually gay he would do the same thing.
Nick is gonna have to deal with how he handled the situation when karma bites his ass later. I also feel extremely bad for Howie because he was humiliated too. Can't wait for a new chapter Julie!
Author's Response: Thanks, Tracy! I'm glad you thought the guys' reactions were realistic. Nick flew off the handle, and even though what he was saying had some truth behind it, he shouldn't have said it, at least not there and not in front of the other guys. I felt bad for Howie in this chapter too. Thanks again for your review!

Wow great chapter! I love how you write the story in both POVs. Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! Glad you're enjoying it! :)

Rape?? - Wow, I didn't think that Nick would go there, but he did. Oh man!
"“Are you gay, man? ‘Cause, you know, if you are… that’s okay…”" - Thank you AJ for having the sense to try and say something positive!
I thought that you nailed Brian and Kevin's reactions as well - Kevin being the voice of reason and Brian clearly being uncomfortable, but still not willing to walk out on Nick.
I also LOLed at Leighanne's reaction. Totally her!!
I can't wait to see how this all plays out now that the other guys know!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I knew that word would just devastate Howie, and although it's not necessarily true, Nick does have his reasons for thinking it. I'm glad you thought the other guys' reactions were realistic. Leighanne's cracked me up too; I could so imagine that look on her face. Thanks again!

#RedRibbonForHowie! God so now the rest of the group finally know. LOL I so hummed "everyone has AIDS" when Nick panicked at Kevin touching him. I'm definitely curious about the phone call. You're sick ZDR! Sick and twisted and it's fantastic LOL.
Author's Response: Wow, you were quick! Maybe after enough time has gone by, Nick will finally find AIDS funny enough to sing the song too. He has to have seen that movie! It takes 22.3 years though, so he has a ways to go. Now you have me singing One Phone Call LOL. "You're always gonna be my one... always be my one phone call... ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh..." Love ya, ZDR, thanks!
