If I can clarify..
Gerard is stating to Toni that yes, he agrees, he will be free by July, he has committed (!!) to that date...
it is only my opinion that I stick to it being Toni's deadline.. as the matter goes along this will be clarified one way or the other.. I m not being argumentative here. Its just an instinct. Which I base on Toni keeping , or thinking she is keeping Gerard on a tight leash.. the demands about Allison not to go to the conference, her demands that he tell Allison this.. it just followed on to me, that she set that deadline, too. I also think she lent him money, and thats a part of the demands as well. SHe wants not only her money back, but him, god alone knows why, and its been long enough, and there is an end date to it.
and he. .. is confirming his intention and firmness to keep to it.
