I reached out on Instagram to see if people had questions about part one or slash season one of the vow and there were many, many questions. I'm going to endeavor to answer as many of them as I can. Some of your questions I won't be able to answer

because to answer them would cause other people

far too much pain.

So I'm going to refrain from answering some of them.

Please forgive me, but it is necessary. One of the questions was, did you guys ever

have the chance to call out Reneer to his face? I really admire you guys. Well, thank you, first of all.
