A frustrating story, we can see how right these two would be together, but because it's single POV we get a bigger insight to Thomas's insecurities and worries. It's hard not to take sides but we need to remember that Asher is being honest and not let Thomas's concerns doubt him. It takes a lot for them to work everything out, but the feeling of relief for Asher, to be free of his secret. Sal is a great friend to Thomas and ot was good to see her sticking up for Asher too.
  Their feelings were never in question  it was all about Asher finding the right time and for Thomas to not be so insecure.
