Yes, that. I was kind of hoping that you hadn’t, because I know what you’re bound to think of it. The problem is.. I’m not sure that I know what I think about it. I know my intent, but I’m not sure it was acheived, or what I think about it even if it was.

I’ll be honest, because we work better that way, but...  I’m not thrilled it happened, but you have to know my feelings about it won’t affect us. I don’t know if you were worried about that, but I needed you to know that.  I know the way you were raised, from the things you’ve told me.  From what you’ve known, the proper response is eye for an eye.  And since violence against Beau would get you in trouble, and Sebastian is untouchable as a claimed submissive, the logical thing is to go for any unclaimed links back to Beau.  I understand why you did it, even if I don’t agree with it.

I heard pieces and parts, pieced together what I think is at least a fairly accurate picture, even if I don’t know exactly what happened.  About Christien, right?

That is true. And you’re mine, you do know me. This makes sense. This always makes sense.

PRIVATE

I live with you.  I can be oblivious, but when it’s right there, it’s not too hard to pick up on.  If it helps, it might not be noticeable otherwise.

PM: Sir? You've seemed kind of stressed lately and I think I have an idea to help relax you.

PM: I might be projecting.  It’s possible.  What would you say to a massage?  Do that and then I’ll make us dinner, sound good?

Hey, no. You and I are practically brothers at this point. We’re in the same boat here; he’s your Dom and he’s my brother. Throw words about it at me? This isn’t nothing and we both know that.

I’m not saying whatever he did was right, but...  He’s my Dom. I love him.  No matter what, I’m by his side. Period. No question.  I don’t think I have to elaborate too much for you to see where the moral dilemma comes in. Does that make me a bad person?

Are you okay?

Having a moral dilemma. I’ll be fine.

…Christien apologized to me for what Beau did. The same Christien that’s mentioned in some of those anons.

I know... I don’t like the implications, but...

I hate to spread more worry from my side of the fence over to yours, but did you see the anons I got?

I did... I’m trying to think about the situation as a whole, with the limited information I have.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

I know... With the anons accusing Garrett of being as bad as Beau... We’ll figure this out.

…….

Whatever happened... if Garrett didn’t broadcast it, there’s a reason for that.

How could you not know? You belong to him?!

And somehow that makes me omniscient?

You had better be hiding him from me because I AM GOING TO TEAR HIM LIMB FROM LIMB.

Elliott, slow down, what the hell is going on?  Tear him limb from limb...? What happened?

GARRETT !

...Ell?

PM: Are you alright?

PM: I believe they are in response to my time with.. Christien Smythe.

PM: I knew you spent time with Christien. I saw that conversation, and I kind of assumed that it had something to do with that, because it was really the only thing you’d done that was out of the ordinary, Sir.
