I love hearing that. I adore Connor and have a special place in my heart reserved for the wolves, but the Mayhew romance has always been sort of the core of the story since the beginning. I very much wanted to make it optional so folks can plot their own path (which will be very relevant to the endings), but other than the player, Mayhew is probably the primary focal point of the story. You can fall in love with him or rebel against him, but he is the fulcrum and I've always wanted to ensure he appeals to a certain part of our souls.
