now I want to add that I love the fact Brett brought that portrait and gave it to Hayden, it’s such a nice detail especially because of what it symbolizes too. Brett saw all those photos of Hayden when he was younger and he looked happy, so he probably wanted to share a bit about him too. It’s interesting how Brett is serious and all dressed up in his portrait, such a contrast.
Tbh he brought his childhood pic and gave it to Hayden as well shows how much he kinda feel the emotional development in brett towards Hayden I m sure Hayden gonna find out what actually happened with brett and it's gonna break Hayden heart but Brett is very calm and collected even while he was being forced on bj his bodyguard asked for details of those people all he said "yah i remember it in very detail since I had nothing to do" I mean seriously he is not scarred by that incident is enough to show him mentally strong at so many levels but I still want to see them enjoying their very date
Thank you so much for the summary
Thank you for putting this together! I appreciate it so much
Thank you very much for your summaries. By the way, I thought Brett's childhood clothes looked similar to the equestrian uniforms... and I thought he was very handsome dressed for the meeting, despite what he's been through.
thank you for your summary! brett's cold rationality (at the cost of some very repressed emotions) consistently is soooo impressive but also scary and kind of sad too? especially because even while he was being assaulted he was making some rational calculus in his head about the best course of action - he's really learned in life that he has no one to rely on but himself. i really wonder when the harm done to him will register to him and those repressed emotions (from the incident, but probably throughout his life) finally bubble up. (go to therapy brett!)
i'm sure hayden will be so instrumental to brett finally being able to "let go" and FEEL emotions and be human...you can tell how much brett just seems softer with hayden too, even though he's keeping literally everything hidden from hayden. i also think hayden will find out eventually and i'm curious about how he'll react. i feel like brett will react very defensively so i'm curious how hayden will manage it.
It makes you wonder what's going through Brett's mind as he keeps certain details from Hayden. Like, I dont think he does this just because he feels its trivial or unimportant. Since Hayden confirmed his feelings for Brett, I'm pretty sure Brett knows Hayden won't just sit back and do nothing if he finds out he's been raped. However, I for one, cannot wait to see Hayden's reaction when he finds out. It's only a matter of time. I just hope Hayden doesnt misunderstand when he does
you’re welcome :) and yes, you’re right, Hayden actually asked Brett if that picture was took when he started doing equestrianism!
seeing him vulnerable will make me (and pretty much everyone) cry i bet…. i just want hayden to be there for him unconditionally, it’s about time brett knows he’s not alone :(
i think part of it is just that he's used to doing things alone as habit but also this desire to control everything on his own (like can you imagine if hayden was like "things are too dangerous for you rn to be running around like this" i think brett would take this as an attempt to control him/interfere with him he has super strong boundaries in that way) but ALSO i actually think he kind of doesn't think it's important? like it doesn't necessarily register that there are people who would want to know what happened to him and care for him in that way even if it doesn't result in anything
again with my “summaries”
Brett took some swab samples for testing and also says that it’s obvious who was behind the attack. That it was probably leaked he’s part of the list of witnesses in Alexander’s defense. He also said Nathan’s dad probably thinks is hard killing him since he’s the son of a business partner who donates a lot. So it seems true that they attacked Brett to intimidate him and corner him, to put a bad light on him too. I’m astonished as to how calm and collected Brett is since he’s recollecting all that went down and even how the perpetrators looked with a lot of detail, because according to him there was nothing else he could do other than pay attention to those details. Brett’s secretary handed him a gun to protect himself just in case. He also says he needs a new red car.
As soon as he picks up Hayden, Hayden notices he’s hurt and Brett is surprised he noticed straight away. However, Brett only tells him he was in an accident and omits the rest. I mean, Brett is using sunglasses, wearing a turtleneck and his hair is down…. Hayden admits he was too excited about the date he didn’t know Brett had an accident but Brett assures him that he’s hanging out with him because he wanted to go on the date too. Brett also jokes about what would have happened if he called Hayden and it was true he injured someone to which Hayden responds he would ask whether the other person is dead or not and if Brett is okay too, and he poses the question of “would I be the first person you call?” and Brett is like you’re taking this too seriously, it’s a hypothetical situation. Also, Brett took one of his portraits from back home and gave it to Hayden. Hayden is happy about it and tells Brett how cute he looked and if he could have it (he looks so adorable).
I guess next chapter will be all about their date. I also have a feeling that Hayden will find out about what actually happened to Brett either because of a scandal (picture getting leaked) or because it will accidentally slip up, I just hope he doesn’t misinterpret it when that happens or that he doesn’t lose it, because we all know how emotional Hayden is. And again, I still feel bad about Brett, I don’t know how he does it but he’s too strong.
