Did you forget when Ian asked Jo what else would he sacrifice for him and Jo said "everything". It's the same thing now. TJ will not have the guts to give it all up for Ian. If he could he would have done it long time ago.
... Nowdays, it's just: Oh my, he's gotta elephant di.ck, how that's gonna fit in me... Oh, you're clenching so hard... :/ I feel nostalgic for a good story, beautiful art, some emotion and a no penis fetish.
A hard but a good read.
