In reply to: Oleander 's message, "Oh that's right. LMAO that made me laugh really hard. LOL. ON a more serious note, however- Grey's reactions in this scene, his words- a part of me does wonder if it was a sort of helplessness here- as if just being in Lavender House was a test for him- to see if he could stand his memories of the time after Hector's death, of who he used to be and who he was trying to be-->" on 12:37:28 10/31/07 Wed

Not only that, but maybe realized that life was still worth living eh? Since Ardsmuir, I think John structured his life so much more carefully. Liasons such as this were dangerous and could potentially be his down fall. And yet, I think that the pull of the flesh, the affirmation of touching another human being in an intimate way, is and was necessary for a man living in such secrecy.

- And John is, maybe, 29 or 30 here? He ain't dead yet! Any healthy 30 year old is going to need some human contact. (NT) -- kgp, 08:55:00 11/01/07 Thu
  - Especially one who feels completely separate from others around him based on some basic differences? (NT) -- Oleander, 10:55:22 11/01/07 Thu
    - That's what finally drove Jamie to marry L*&^%$#re. (NT) -- kgp, 17:14:40 11/01/07 Thu
