[Caleb had suspected it wasn't just Chris doing what was right but he wasn't going to push him on that either. Now that he's admitted the truth though, Caleb can feel bile rising in the back of his throat.

Chris doesn't need anyone defending him or protecting him but damn the desire is there. He loves this man so much and hates that anyone has taken advantage of him. Just as much as he might hate learning he's involved himself with the same person in a night at the Gray Room. ]

I trust you then, Chris. You wouldn't outright lie to me.

[ He expects not full answers and avoiding topics. Everyone does it to make things right, but for Chris to say it like that means something else. ]

Please be careful. If this person has taken advantage of you once, who knows what they're capable of.
