It never happened. It was as easy as that. Ian didn't know why and he didn't really care. Thinking about it hurt a bit, right there, where his stomach was, though.
He spent years watching Charlie. He saw him maturing, saw him getting a house and a girlfriend. He read his book and did the math and not even the numbers were in his favor. Maybe he should have acted sooner.
Maybe he should have taken Charlie to the shooting range. Or maybe he'd missed his chance in the woods when they'd spent the night after McHugh had been caught. He should have asked Charlie out for dinner. Maybe some time alone in Charlie's garage would have done the trick or a conversation at the koi pond. Maybe Charlie was insecure and his relationship to Amita nothing but an act to be what everyone expected him to be. Or it was Ian's fault alone. He should have just gone and apologized after he'd kidnapped Colby. Maybe that would have been his chance.
He would never know.
The only thing he did was make a weak joke in Don's direction about why he hadn't been invited to Charlie's wedding. And if he got drunk that very evening and hooked up with a young man with curly dark hair and big brown eyes, that didn't mean anything. Nothing at all.
