This scene was deleted from the campaign party before Shane gets the call from his sister.

Ethan groaned.  “Oh god.  We aren’t back to that are we?”

“Back to what?  I agree with Jamie, it’s weird.”  Gray glanced over at John who was conversing with Gray’s parents.

Jamie’s eyes widened, staring up at his partner as if to say “I told you so.”  “See!  I’m not the only one who’s freaked out about it.  Can’t believe you aren’t.  John’s not gay.”  Jamie hissed.

Ethan rolled his eyes.  “I never said he was.  But he’s not exactly homophobic either.  The man is and always has been…”

Oooh this was getting good.  Gray arched a brow. “What?”

Ethan shrugged.  “Open minded?”  He grabbed a cookie off of Jamie’s plate and popped it into his mouth.  “Stop being melodramatic.”

Jamie groaned.  “Open minded is one thing...kissing strange men is another.”

“I thought you liked McCabe?”  Gray frowned at Jamie.  Ethan was right, he was being rather melodramatic. 

“I do, he’s a nice guy.  But…dang it!  That’s my brother.  He’s not gay!”

Gray smiled and caught Ethan’s gaze.  “He’s sort of hung up on the “not gay” thing, huh?”

Ethan shook his head and grinned.  “Don’t try to understand it.  It’s a weird Jamie thing that is totally unexplainable.”  He winked at Jamie.

Jamie snorted.  “I’m going to go talk to Melissa Hatcher.” 

As Jamie strode off towards the pretty blonde holding court near the door, Gray leaned closer to Ethan.  “So whata ya think?”

Ethan shrugged.  “I don’t know yet.  I like McCabe.  I think he might actually be a good match for John.  God knows John needs someone to take him in hand.  I know for a fact John has,”  he shrugged, “shall we say dabbled...with the same sex back in college.”  Ethan shrugged again,  “Do not tell Jamie that. He’ll freak.”
