There are so many scenes in here that are either heart-wrenching, beautiful or both, and I choked up more than once. I read the version with Jordan's comments at the end and I felt like she doesn't even realize what she wrote. I hear what she's trying to say and that sounds like an interesting book, but what she's writing just doesn't fit with it. She makes it sound like these two don't really love each other, that they just need each other because they're dysfunctional. She says that they like each other fucked up and feed off it and really aren't good for each other. I think the scene on the pier where Wild Bill is trying to overcome debilitating fear to help Michael emotionally shows love. I think that the end of that scene where Wild Bill can finally begin to combat his fear is proof that they are good for each other. Wild Bill emotionally needs for Michael to be okay because he loves him. The scene in the next book in the graveyard where Wild Bill says horrible things about himself and Michael basically says that if Wild Bill loves him that he needs to not say those things is Michael showing his love for Wild Bill. That's the opposite of what Price is saying. I'm going to be very upset if the second set of books pulls this relationship apart.
