I'm glad that Brian is on the mend; that was truly a bad health scare that he had.   I do hope he is finally going to start talking soon about everything that has been weighing on him for all these years though.    He is not doing himself any favors with that!!     And I continue to love, love, love Brian and Cynthia's relationship.   I think it was a great idea on her part to suggest opening a New York satellite office and for her to come up there, especially with all the accounts that Brian has.   As much as he likes to have his hand in everything that goess on with the company, it really isnt feasible for him to do that anymore.    It's just too much and he really needs to start cutting back, for his own health and sanity.

Brian definitely needs to be more mindful...and he has to do what Rob is telling him to do, even though it's hard. He never dealt with the bashing, even in canon. He would just find ways to avoid it whenever possible...or make it not about him, but about Justin instead. I love Brian and Cynthia too! Cynthia is SO fun to write! (And my beta is a big fan of her, too, so that makes it even more fun to write her, I think.) The company is too big for Brian to have his finger in every pot now. He has to start letting more things go, and relinquish some control...maybe in more ways than one.
