>>"Did you fuck him?" Brian asked breathlessly.
"What if I did?" Curt responded wearily.

#This is just an example of what I thought was the PERFECT emotional pitch that you hit in this chapter. It all rang so true. Curt's weariness, acquiescence, and then humor. Just perfect. The fact he lay down for Brian too is very telling, considering his past, and just the right bit of offering that Brian can appreciate ... Curt really means it. The bittersweetness is wonderful. There would be that, because they ARE ending something, but beginning something else, and beginnings are also usually a bit scary. I am SOOOOOO looking forward to what comes next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can never get tired of this pair. I think they might be the most romantic pair in movies for me (and now in writing!). And I agree with one reviewer on Amazon... that kiss in the movie was one of the hottest, if not the hottest, screen kiss in history. They have such chemistry and you translate it SOOO well here.
