I’m in love with that scene. I will watch it over and over until I die. Deran admitting that he didn’t even really like Linc, he was full on escapism (do I ghost write this show? I’ll never tell) Coming to Adrian when it feels like his life is spiralling because Adrian grounds him. Adrian knowing exactly what to say. The “You’re not just a guy who owns a bar” meaning more than Deran being a Cody but the fact that he’s so much more than either of those things and Adrian knows that even if no one else does. The physical comfort, Deran being secure enough with Adrian to be able to do that.
