I had to get in the shower with him because of the state he was in and then he was just sobbing in my arms. But did I take advantage and kiss him? No." Which he still wasn't certain about how good a move that was, tactically speaking. "We just got into a whole conversation about how controlling and manipulative I am and how he hates when I am right about things. I'm not sure how well it went, on the whole."

He supposed it had been a mixed bag. "He was so vulnerable. I really should have gone for it, shouldn't I?" Damn. That was going to be a 'what if' scenario in his head for a while. "You don't get much out of behaving like a gentleman."
