Liz was pretty sure that being raised Christian had made her miss her true calling as a fag hag (were you allowed to say fag hag? Wasn't that offensive? She'd have to ask Lewis, because he wouldn't be offended by her asking), because these gay guys she was meeting -- from Jesse and Jace, to Romeo and Winston, to Lorenzo and reacquainting herself with Lewis -- were definitely all incredible sweethearts, and people that she wanted to have as part of her life. Without a doubt, the things Lorenzo had been through left no room for the benevolent God who poured out abundant blessings. It was an awfully heavy thing to think about without a doubt, but there was no way Liz could look at someone like Lorenzo and tell him it was God's will for him to raise a precious little girl alone after her mom committed suicide, or tell someone like Jace that it was the Lord's will for him to be hit by a car as an innocent child. "Anyone in their right mind would want to keep her safe," Liz agreed. "I know it can't be easy, love, but it seems like your heart and soul are in taking care of that little one. No one can say you're not doing the best you can as a father. And I know Lewis... I can vouch for him having a huge heart and being someone you can rely on." It was true, because she had... Many times over the years, she'd needed someone to lean on, and Lewis had always been a friend who would be there without a doubt.

If she really thought back over her life, she had always known that Lewis didn't quite fit the mold of what everyone they grew up with wanted him to be. He'd played the part the best he could, but then he'd moved on to be who he really was, and she couldn't for a moment blame him for that. "You're right, Lorenzo," she said softly, glancing over at Jace and Jesse. It was as if no one else in the room existed, and despite the soft music, she was convinced that they saw no one and heard nothing except for their own little conversation. "That? That is a beautiful thing." She turned her attention back to the two guys in front of her with a smile. "It would be nice to come across something like that myself, without a doubt. Love is love. And if it's real, then that's what matters."
