Hardy has a LOT on his plate in the next little while. If ever hubby has to leave him behind because he realizes he cannot safely take them with him, I truly hope Hardy gets a nice story from Brian. Like Billy who right away realzies something is up and no one could have abandonned him. We will always say Hardy thought everyone forgot him. And tha this will be the story God will tell him. Dont feel too sad for Hardy: he will be very close to God all along as soon as he loses Laurel. This is what he will think: that Laurel left him. So we will simply have a broken hearted romantic reason to it for Hardy'S fast. In his stories, he will stop eating in protest. I doubt that will be the case in real life. Now you see a bit how a story is made of many elements, all inspiration.
