Oh no, Ashley waa trying to scare Dane so he would runaway from GRAYSON. And from wht I read no one knws that Grayson never actually did it. Grayson did say it chase to scare him as well. But in Kiss me if you can, Grayson told the truth only to Josh that he never did it and lied to chase about it. That's wht I knw so far.
Cs i remember the part when Ashley said that Dane still haven't runaway from Grayson even though i said those things to him. And Ashley did abused Grayson, he agreed that his punishments were harsh. He said he never hit his children but in Ashley's side stories, he actually did. He slapped Grayson very hard and even choked him. Every novel contains so much info with different perspectives, im getting confused
Ikr I was reading Bliss's story and Grayson and Bliss has such a funny bond. It really surprised me. And Bliss always used to ask only Grayson for help. N there is was clearly mentioned that "has it not been Grayson, chase would have long gone insane". This whole series really needs re evaluation after every novel. Many informations are spread across different Novels from different povs. My mind is blown

To be very honest, I re read kmyic to re evaluate things based on the new datas I gathered from other novels. I do feel that somewhere Josh's disappearing played an imp part in chase trauma..
Chase knew about Grayson's condition very well, he knew that he has been gone through various treatments and that now he only mimics wht he has learnt and that he lies a lot.
So i was thinking if this big statement is coming from such a person who mostly lies or mimics then I would def give it a second thought before believing it.
Later chase didn't believe his words when Grayson was apologising but believed when he said he has slept with a dog?.
When josh revealed that he slept with him then chase said I knew that i slept with someone. That's when it hit me.
Chase actually didn't believe Grayson first ands Grayson also didn't knw that he has slept eith someone. But chase knew that he has def slept with someone so he was desperately searching for that person. But Josh has gone without a trace and Chase couldn't find him at all that's when he started believing that he may have actually done it with a dog which eventually traumatized him.
