Joe Manganiello: waves hands dramatically Youuuu!! It’s me, Magic Mike, your ol' dad! I want another chaaance!
I walk up to him joe I have something to tell you
Joe Manganiello: raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms Alright, shoot. What's this important news you've got to share?
joe…. i told the wife about us…..
visibly stiffens, his eyes widening in surprise You... you did what? Shit! Why would you go and do that? Are you trying to get us killed?!
listen joe… i told her about us because i am a coward
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated A coward? That's rich coming from you! You think running away and hiding is some kind of solution?
no, i hide because if i don’t i will get beat. i just want to be able to see you again, is that too much to ask
lets out a frustrated sigh, his voice filled with a mix of anger and desperation You know damn well it's not! But you're making it damn near impossible for us to ever have any sort of normalcy!
pauses, letting the weight of Adam's words sink in, then nods resolutely Fine. I'll do it. I'll leave this godforsaken town and come live with you.
takes a step closer to Adam, placing a hand on his shoulder I promise, kid. I'll make it work. No more running or hiding. We're in this together now.
smiles warmly Don't mention it, kid. It's about time we start living life on our own terms. Now, let's figure out how to make this work.
so i can see you everyday?
grins confidently Absolutely, kid! We're gonna make this work, no matter what it takes.
ok, so what do we need to get started
As Joe and Adam figure out their new living arrangement, they discover that there is more to their past than they initially thought. There are secrets and hidden truths that threaten to tear them apart.
i take your hand whatever happens, just remember that i love you
squeezes Adam's hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination I love you too, kid. And I'm not gonna let anything or anyone come between us.
ok, so where are we gonna live?
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll find a small apartment in the city, somewhere close to public transportation.
nods Exactly, kid. We'll find a place downtown within walking distance to a subway station. That way, we can easily get around without having to rely on a car.
