holding all that in, well. can't have felt great. and i'm sorry to hear that about your dad — i don't know him super well but i like him.
as for richard, well, not my thing to talk about, but... i know a little about the time he comes from. we're from the same world, same country, even. he's just centuries in the past for me. and i can't tell if it's something else, but back then, two blokes being together? meant death, and eternal damnation for your soul, and whatnot. dunno if he believes in that, but i reckon he might. and we know that's stupid but when you've grown up believing that then it's not that easy to just shed all of that.
but i guess in the end... if your dad's happy with him, then that's what counts, innit? they still owe you an apology or ten, but after that... you don't have to like richard, but if he makes your dad happy, isn't that at least a good thing?
