As much as I adore Connor (he's such a free spirit, love him), is Ronan going to be an option at some point? Other than the scene in chapter 12 I mean. As a path option if you've told him you want him on his/your own terms.
That is my plan, yes, with two possible routes for Ronan: one with Nick, and one with Alex. (Well, and I guess a third, with Ronan alone.)
Yay! 💜
