Brien and Ransom had it out and it wasn't pleasant. What happened to Sheridan? She went after another much older man and Ransom had spent much of his time, after another semi serious relationship, taking Brien's girlfriends away for him or was the truth of it that Brien or the girlfriend had been ready to break up and Ransom just stepped in. It didn't matter anymore he and Brien were not in competition . If you had asked Brien, they never were. Dionne' was way to young for him. Ransom was to be sixteen soon and she, in Sept. would be thirteen.

Ransom was comfortable with the way he had handled the Dionne thing. She had the complete wrong idea as far as Sheridan was concerned but, so what. One of these days he would be back in her life and when that time came he intended for her to be his. Brien was bringing Sheri into their home more as a friend than anything else. Ransom didn't understand how this was going to help them decide anything. They needed to be sleeping together etc. sexual compatibility was very important. If that was the case, what about Dionne'? Not to worry, plenty of time for that, years in fact.
