company he's a scary looking guy he is but he like he came off unassuming no he looks a little like

nerdy and just kind of like quiet once you know what you know about somebody you can't unknow it it's true so he promised andrew a lot of money for his company and at the apartment dennis poured two more drinks and the conversation turned to the subject of bondage andrew informed dennis that he wouldn't mind being tied up or doing the tying okay now dennis agreed but insisted that he wasn't interested in any sexual intimacy

Okay.

He was just interested in the bondage part.

This struck Andrew as like a little strange because he was like, okay, this guy invited me back to his apartment.

He offered me money for my company, which in my experience leads to one thing.

Yeah.

But instead, Dennis tied a cord around Andrew's feet and told him that he was afraid he might have come there to rob him.

Okay.

Once Andrew's ankles were secured, Dennis grabbed a necktie and wrapped it around Andrew's throat.

And he pulled it tightly and he just started admonishing him for going home with a stranger while he did this.

Now, had Dennis not loosened his grip at the first sign of panic from Andrew, it seems entirely likely that Andrew would have suffered the same fate as Stephen Holmes.

Absolutely.

But...

He did.

He loosened his grip.

He saw Andrew panic.

He loosened it a little bit.

I don't know what the intention was there.

But in that instant, Andrew used the opportunity to like turn out of his grasp or get himself out.
