LitLover Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 This was a really good chapter his memories were just so ... not gonna say more ... people just need to go read it for themselves. Thank you, Dugh. I loved writing that scene. I could picture the whole evening so clearly, including the noogies . I loved the comparison between the ex-friend and the ex-boyfriend. Me too... Me three. I think it will help open Corey's eyes to how much Jason has changed and grown up from who he was eight years ago. Sometimes it's easy to allow yourself to be blind to exactly how bad a person or a situation is until it's compared to something/someone else. 3
LitLover Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Chapter 8 is up. Jason has an interesting night. Enjoy! 1
Timothy M. Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 How long has Corey lived in Kingston? Five years or something?
dughlas Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Nice chapter. I like what you're doing with these two. 1
LitLover Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 How long has Corey lived in Kingston? Five years or something? Closer to 8 years, since he also went to school at the University. 1
Timothy M. Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Closer to 8 years, since he also went to school at the University. So, surely he must have come across Marco at some point? Unless he's been in the closet?
LitLover Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 So, surely he must have come across Marco at some point? Unless he's been in the closet? I'm sure they do know of each other, but Corey is not in to the bar or party scene at all, so their circles may not have crossed paths very often. So far Corey hasn't said anything about knowing Marco... maybe he will in later chapters? We'll see 2

So far Corey hasn't said anything about knowing Marco... maybe he will in later chapters? We'll see I was simply wondering whether the reaction of Corey here “Marco still likes the party scene a little too much,” Jason said, poking at his food. Corey’s shoulders stiffened, and for a few moments an uncomfortable silence fell over their table had as much to do with the name Marco as the mention of party scene. 1
Headstall Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 So, surely he must have come across Marco at some point? Unless he's been in the closet? 160,000 people live in the metropolitan area alone... that doesn't include the surrounding area... so it's not inconceivable they wouldn't have met... just saying... 2

Maybe future conversations might clarify if/how well, Corey knows Marco 1

Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 160,000 people live in the metropolitan area alone... that doesn't include the surrounding area... so it's not inconceivable they wouldn't have met... just saying... True, it would have to be via the LGBT community, i.e. bars / nightclubs etc. If Corey doesn't do the party scene...
LitLover Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 160,000 people live in the metropolitan area alone... that doesn't include the surrounding area... so it's not inconceivable they wouldn't have met... just saying... That's true. They gay community isn't large, but that doesn't mean that the two men hang out with the same people either. Marco also likes to travel to Toronto since Kingston is only a couple of hours away. 2
LitLover Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Chapter 9 is up. Corey does some thinking. I hope you like it

dughlas Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I really liked this chapter, no outstanding reason it's just normal living but maybe that's the reason ... 4
Defiance19 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I really liked this chapter, no outstanding reason it's just normal living but maybe that's the reason ... Right?!! I just read it too and it feels so familiar. Easy, normal, day to day... And, on my way to work, I meet the same people when I stop for coffee. When I pull up at a light. Sometimes I know I'm/ others are late if a certain car is way ahead or not in sight. Routine causes you to run into the same people who frequent the same places. Same as the lunch crowd at the deli. So Corey and Jason's meetings don't surprise me.. 4

So Corey and Jason's meetings don't surprise me.. I've really happy you both like the chapter. It's funny, even when I'm in Toronto I've run into people that I know from back home, so it didn't seem odd to me that Jason and Corey would run into each other often with a smallish downtown business area in Kingston. Their friendship was never about drama, so it was logical for me to have them return to those easy, relaxing days. It makes me happy that it translates well on the page 5
Defiance19 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Oh, I did it again! (Not enough coffee yet) Half a review, but you know what I was going to say... Loved it.. 1

spike382 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 LL I'm all behind in my reviews this week, but this last chapter was really good. I'll get around to leaving a longer review but I just had to say it was probably my favorite chapter yet. 1

Timothy M. Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Hey LL, you meant isn't in this line of your reply to my review, right? I can guarantee that Jason is deliberately trying to be in the same place at the same time as Corey. It's just something that happens when you work within blocks of someone.

LitLover Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Chapter 10 is up. I hope you enjoy the view through Jason's eyes. 1
dughlas Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Read it and reviewed. I don't know why but Jason and Corey really resonate for me so I'm really enjoying this tale. 3
