And it was everything I could want for them. Logan and Tate have had quite the journey, full of plenty of ups and downs, but they have weathered it all because their love is just that strong. And who would have thought it when the c*cky Logan walked into the bar that first time and was determined to bed the straight bartender Tate. Their journey hasn’t just been about their relationship, but also as individuals, and with the people in their lives.  And where they are now is beautiful, fulfilling, and heartwarming.   These two will live on in my head for probably the rest of my life!
