Huh. Interesting. I guess I'll have to read it again then. I really didn't think that Viggo still had a thing for him. Though the washcloth-thing in the end... huh. And he really goes out of his way to help Sean realize that he is not what he wants. But of course, it could be a way to safe himself as well. He knows that he is not what Sean wants and maybe has been painfully aware of that fact in NZ and afterwards, maybe he has to end the discussion for himself as well.
But to me he really seemed so much in control, so composed- too composed maybe for someone who still was a little bit in love. Damn. Now I'm confused. But so are these two.

Heee, now I like the epilogue even better. I like the call he wants to make because of all the possibilities it contains. He might be calling a therapist or the anonymous alcoholics, he might call his parents or daughters to hear if they are all right, he might call a friend and ask for help (maybe Ian?), but he might as well just cave in again and continue drinking. It's the perfect way to end this, with the same uncertainty that has been there throughout the rest of the fic. And for people like me who prefer a tiny spark of hope in the fic they read because in real life so many times there just isn't any hope at all (if you work in a hospital) the epilogue contains just the right amount of hope :)
