Has Hoffman been mentioned precisely in the story? Because I can’t remember :’-)
I mean previously*
Yes.
The black guy who the Captain got famous for busting as a serial killer 19 years ago.
The same time around which Arthur's sister's gf was murdered in a so-called mugging.
Do you possibly remember which chapter he was mentioned/introduced? I’d like to go back and reread that chapter!
He's referenced in a lot of chapters. Hints here and there and it builds up with more information.
Might want to re-read everything.
Oh...so that's who Hoffman is and why Silas is trying to get his conviction overturned.
I wonder if Silas was Hoffman's alibi but it was discounted or hidden?
And we are finally getting a conversation about Silas, his motives, and desires with Arthur.
It also sort of sounds like he is letting Arthur go. Not that he has given up on the relationship but more that he is allowing Arthur to make the choice.
I wonder how Arthur will respond and if he is able to see where things are headed.
I feel that with Arthur's naivete and hesitation he may mistakenly think Silas is done with him...and things come to a halt for a portion of time until he wisens up, someone informs him of Silas' feelingsfor him, or Silas gets into trouble.
