Been reading all the updates but just didn't get around to putting my thoughts in here.
Going straight to what stood out for me! Sam and R&B's convo - Sam hit sore nerves and R&B steeled his shield further. He is indeed difficult. Will make no leeway, will not reason and will shut out from his mind what is beyond his control and what he cannot stomach
And then he says he is not going anywhere not without his wife. That steely resolve, jeez, it does shake the insides to have a man stake claim, hell may break loose- but thou shalt not falter - II is his and nothing will come in the way... I guess I'm being too dramatic ... but it really gets to me, each time he refers to II as his wife
