"Restless Hearts" follows the different couples from the last story, and how they are getting on with their newfound love.
Haha, Ed is the best! Ted and Ed were not really a perfect match, more like two aging guys looking for something more than random fucks. I would guess the only thing they really have in common, is their lust for Mike. For two months they had their happy little honeymoon, but then Ed starts getting a bit restless, like the rolling stone he is. Ed decides to use his sales skills and his contacts to sell Ted and Ted’s paintings, and for that, he has to go to Texas. He solemnly promises Ted that he will be faithful, something that Ted takes with a pinch of salt. Correcomundo Ted. On the way to Texas, Ed bumps in to not only one, but two of his former lovers. And he loves them all, Ted, Leeroy and Jake, and simply can not choose…
Ted is not doing so much better. Bobby, an old flame, comes to visit. I was a bit surprised that Ted so easily forgave Bobby for what he did 7 years ago. Ted complained in the last story that he didn’t want to start anything with a gay newbie, since they leave you as soon as something better comes along, a lesson he learned from Bobby himself.
Bobby had a bit of ye olde sex with Kirk, which was what made Rich and Kirk break up finally.
Now, Ted seems perfectly fine with Bobby’s apology, that he never met anyone like Ted since, and that he regrets what he did.
"What happened to you, Bobby? I don't remember seeing you look so sad."
"It's never been easy being queer, but I never thought it was going to be this hard."

Hm, l think Ted deserves better…

Rich and Ty leave Mike to go to Phoenix. On the way, Rich decides to go visit Kirk, which results in Rich having a black-out and punching Kirk (yay!), and then leaving on his motorbike, leaving Ty behind.
Rich returns a couple of days later, but Ty has already left, to go home to his parents. Rich goes back to Mike, and start dealing with his problems with the help of another war veteran. Rich is one of my favorite characters, he is damaged, hot and rides a motor bike:-P

"No, just tell him what I said." He turned back to the bike and threw one leg over it. He revved the engine twice as put his helmet on again. Then he was rolling off into the night, and he was gone.

Brian, who was the asshole friend of Virgil, comes crawling back to apologize, and maybe get to sleep on Virgil and Marty’s sofa, since he has no other place to go. Virgil throws him out, excellent! Instead, Danny takes him in, and listens to Brian’s troubles (which actually made me feel a bit sorry for him. But only a bit, he is like Kirk reincarnated).

Kirk and Owen are still happy, and Owen is a bit like “Mike light”. He is very likeable, and knows how to give an encouraging word to those in need (in this case Ty).

Okay I gotta say that I just didn't care for this one. Way too much cheating and heartbreaking going on for me.
