Thanks! Ryan took a while to fully feel secure in his relationship with Brooke... for a long time he couldn't help wondering if she was gonna end up being a rehash of Marissa, who wanted him when it was convenient and didn't when it wasn't... his worries were completely unfounded, obviously, but... he was messed up emotionally...

lol... thanks! I love the banner... and it DOES need a fic! but god... it would need a HAPPY fic and I... I don't really do happy that often... lol
