When they meet, they reflect on their past and how their lives have changed. One of these adorable men has to be the right one for Toby. But who is it?

Bear Hunting

Don’t tease the crazy bear. Be smart about it and try not to piss him off. Bears can be lethal and unmanageable. Stay clear of them to the best of your abilities. I guess what I’m trying to say in bear language is simple: don’t become bitten by a bear because they can bite and shred you to pieces. That’s all you need in your life. Honestly. Believe me.
