oh my god, aa, i love you so much. this chapter is EVERYTHING i could have wanted!!

especially with david actually having to feel some fear about the consequences of his actions. he comes across as horribly cowardly and weaselly through your writing even though james seems incapable of thinking of him that way

and comparing that to katie! who loves him and worries about him! and makes him breakfast! i am so so so hopeful that this is how he will learn to navigate relationships without sex <3 <3

you are amazing and so is james ^_^
