I'm happy to see him finally opening himself up to dating with someone he trusts like Owen. But when he comes to me and asks if I can help his boyfriend, I feel like there's more to the request than just a few therapy sessions. The more I get to know Owen, the more I like him, too.OwenI'm not sure why I believe so much in fate when she's dealt me nothing but crappy hands-a stint in prison and enough childhood horrors to fuel all my adult nightmares.
