It was clear that David was struggling with his attraction towards Murdo as well as holding onto his firmly instilled beliefs and value system. Then there's Murdo's stand on meeting society's expectation that he marry and produce heirs while still maintaining his need to be with other men, something which David thinks is reprehensible.

Balfour’s hard mouth ground the soft tissue behind David’s lips against his teeth and he made a strange, almost animal noise in his chest.
