“Although I see being in Rome a bit difficult for Louis because of the stalkers (although the OG London stalkers all knew HL were together, and never said anything).”
Yes, this is exactly what came on my mind as well - what if the italian stalkers know about Louis all the time but can’t reveal it because a) can’t out H (and Louis as well), b) they are in denial that they don’t have a chance with H so they won’t aknowledge Louis is with him, you know, to not hurt gf harries feelings lol. But more likely if they are tipped on the purpose where H is some of the times, in exchange they just have to keep it secret Louis is with him. Or they are tipped where H is in advance so Louis is never with him.
I think all of the above is possible. And, again, IIRC the London Stalker Crew kept the secret that they’d see H and Louis together, because they didn’t want to lose access. And I’m sure some didn’t want to acknowledge Larry, either.
