He blames himself for Carl's horrific death and fears he isn't strong enough to lose another love to violence.Bernard needs David to help him face each day and find a way they can be together without stigma - and without putting them in legal and physical danger - but David clings to his idea that the only way to keep a lover safe is not to have one. His fears threaten to destroy everything, unless he learns that sometimes the risk is worth it and finds the courage to love.
