"In fact, it makes him feel stunned, almost, like when something's really obvious and you didn't see it and all of a sudden it clicks. Like everything is perfectly right and aligned, at least for the moment. It's almost easier for Tristram to call what's between Father and John 'love' than to apply the same label to Father and Tristram's relationship, if only because he's spent so much time thinking about Father and John lately, and it seems that he's being inexorably pushed toward that conclusion."

I always love the way you voice Tristram's thought processes and this one was wonderful.

I think the phrase now is "the plot thickens"!!
