TT:But I may be able to help.
TT:Has John ever expressed any romantic advances towards you?
TG:well..
TG:he was the one who leaned in first...
TG:but he said it was the heat of the moment
TT:Well, has it ever occurred to you that he may have just said that as an excuse?
TT:That he's even trying to convince himself of his heterosexuality?
TG:I thought he might've been making excuses....
TT:Then again he might have been.
TT:There is no way you can know for sure.

Having a smart ass sister has its perks sometimes. Other times it's just annoying as hell..

Maybe you will take her advice and tell him that you like him one day.....when the time is right of course. But what will he think and say?

Be John==>

This was it. You had to talk to Rose about this. You just hope she keeps her promises of confidentiality....

----ectoBiologist began pestering tentacleTherapist----

EB:rose I need your help
TT:What is it, John?
EB:wellllll.......
EB:it's just that....
EB:okay Imma come right out and say it
TT:Then say it.
EB:you promise to keep it a secret?
EB:no one
EB:and I mean no one knows or can know about this
TT:You have my word, just get on with it.
EB:I almost kissed your brother
TT:Excuse me?
EB:yeah......
EB:when I went to the hospital, he showed me his eyes and I kinda grabbed his face and leaned in....
EB:we were so close and then my dad knocked
EB:and we panicked and pulled away
TT:Interesting. You said that you leaned in first?
EB:.......yeah......
TT:What about your rule against homosexuality?
EB:well I only say that for two reasons
EB:one, because that keeps bullies away
EB:and two, cuz that jeeps my dad off my trail
TT:I figured, but I wasn't sure
TT:So, correct me if I'm wrong, you have a romantic attraction towards Dave?
EB:pretty much
TT:I see...
EB:you won't tell him though right??
EB:don't tell anyone for that matter
TT:You have my word that this conversation is, and forever will be, completely confidential.
TT:Speaking of Dave, he's messaging me now.
TT:I must go, he's being quite persistent.
EB:okay bye rose
TT:Goodbye John.

Thank Gog for Rose Lalonde. She confirmed that she won't tell anyone. But what was Dave messaging her for? Maybe it was just to talk? Was it about the same thing? There's no way for you to know...You pondered the possibilities for Gog knows how long...

Be the therapist==>
((What the fuck, I know.))
Oh boy do you have a lot on your plate. You want so badly to tell Dave of your recent conversation with John, but you can't. Its the therapist's rule. Confidentiality is key. You just have to keep their feelings for each other a secret from the other until they figure it out. At least until the right moment.

Your conversation with Dave was quite tricky. You had to pretend to be in the dark about their recent incident. Sometimes a therapist's work is the hardest work. Especially when your cases involve your own brother.

When he asked about John's feelings, you told him "that there was no way you could know for sure." There was no way he can know for sure of John's feelings that is...

You smirked to yourself and leaned back in your chair. Who knows what could happen in the future? Only time can tell..
