I took your advise and read the story. It was quite enjoyable, though there was a time or two I could have willingly wrung Doyle's neck. I didn't quite buy his reasons for trading places with Cade to begin with, so his pushing Bodie away in order to retain that life didn't ring true for me. Especially when he kept going on about Bodie leaving him.
Mostly, I think I'm still not comfortable with such a long separation (and after 6 years of partnership and 14 years of separation I'd think the lads would be closer to pushing 50 not 45 but that's another issue.) Anyway, to be that unhappy for that long....
But I think I would have found the story more interesting if Doyle's "daughter" hadn't been quite so agreeable when told about her "father's" sexual orientation. I would have loved to read how Doyle would have handled that!
I know it sounds like I didn't like the story, which isn't true. Like I said, I did enjoy it. I guess that's just one scenario I'm never going to be able to buy wholeheartedly.
