Vince ~ Listen to the responses from Marcus, Bo and Nicci<br/><br/>Mari’s bright smile as Vince handed her the pen and paper had him grinning. It seemed she brought out the best of him. The parts of him he liked the best. So she set the tone as he settled next to her on his right. He took a slow breath wondering who’d go first and was glad to see Marcus sort it out and begin.<br/><br/>The first word that came to Vince as Marcus spoke was sincere. A man was many things. This man stepped forward and opened himself up carrying the unforeseen risks and consequences of that kind of discloser. It was selfless. And when he spoke of being alone you could feel what that was like for an only child who was now an only man.  It seemed to Vince that this chance, this opportunity was a personal vision.  And in that moment as the man spoke Vince realized that Marcus had risked it all.<br/><br/>Well met Marcus, well met, Vince thought as the paper past to other hands.<br/><br/>Bo’s hands on the papers as the man found a way to smile. Vince did not expect Bo to speak of his service or the layers that waited beneath. It was then that Vince made up his mind to let Bo know somehow that they both had much in common. More than Vince had been willing to share. But with Bo’s heart felt responses it compelled Vince to do the same. He gave the man a silent nod knowing six month was long enough to make a man a friend. And then Bo answered the last of the questions.<br/><br/>Yah won me over, Vince thought as the paper pass to softer hands.<br/><br/>It was Nicci’s turn to speak. It was not the first look they had exchanged this night. Something bubbled under the surface as if she wanted to share something between them. There was no time to catch her alone and he was not one to pry in public. She spoke outloud the words that caught him off guard. It was as if she was looking right into his soul. Surely his ears were burning. The spot light on him again by herself as she spoke of things he knew intimately. Both the need for ah family and the need to please ah sub. Had there been a connection all along or had it been harnessed as part of this evolving relationship building, of that Vince wasn’t sure. All he knew was when she placed the paper on the table she had read his mind and knew his heart.<br/><br/>His yearning might have found a cure, he thought as he turned to Mari and Mila. He wondered which of them would go next.<br/><br/>
