Could you tell me about Clay please?!
Okay. Clay Burke, Hurricane Utah police chief, yadda yadda we know that from the books. Clay is actually pretty normal. Kind and friendly. He’s like if your took your average Joe and gave him ADHD, internalized homophobia, and gay thoughts. He’s also not that smart- reason for why he likes Will and Henry for their intelligence. He’s not like a dumb dumb idiot, he just isn’t great at math, or science, or solving problems. And that’s why he became a cop :)
Henry and Clay both grew up in hurricane, but they weren’t really friends until their 20’s, and Clay’s around 4ish-5ish years older. Clay thinks Henry is really cool causes he’s smart and gives loves of good advice, and Henry likes Clay because Clay is a pretty normal person and Henry needs to feel like he’s a normal person too
Henry and William meet in college, and Henry introduces Will to Clay. More on their dynamic.
Clay thinks Both Henry and William are cool cause they’re smart and run a super successful business (and also Henry’s really strong and handsome and William’s really theatrical and pretty and he’s faggy for both of them)
Clay has a kid, Carlton, and ex-wife (cause none of them can keep their wives), Betty. They divorced when Carlton was around 15.
He sometimes goes by the pizzeria on his break when he’s bored n shit
And so did he and Henry, but I haven’t talk about that yet. It’s basically the same as William but this time with a bit less alcohol. And also it was before William
All three of them probably end up doing it at some point but I haven’t decided when or how
