They set up candles for light—it looks nauseatingly romantic—and spend the better part of the night sucking and fucking. Slowly. Meaningfully.
Slipping inside Sunshine, Brian can't help but wonder if coming here has helped Justin.
But when Justin sleeps soundly for the first time since the bashing, Brian has his answer.
