This story is addictive, I have vowed several times to give up, but keep reading. One thing confuses me, did he just risk making Max pregnant, or did I miss her being on the pill, or was condom use implied? I noted in an earlier part that Winter (and Gretchen) were unable to tell that he both used a condom and pulled out of Sam.
