Can’t Win Me Back

Uri pressed on, 'More than that, how absurd is it that he found a ridiculous substitute like you? Did he truly think that he was so deeply in love with Blake?

"If I had the chance, I'd ask Judas if he was being fair to Blake by finding a new lover.

I'd want to know if he was being fair to you by making you Blake's substitute." His laughter was so hysterical that tears streamed down his face.
