Yes, it was their 18th! Got my majority's confused!

Henley's timing re deciding to be a father could not have been more inopportune. And frankly he's made the first mistake; deciding unilaterally what is good for 21 year olds.... no sign of smooth sailing any time soon....

Interesting chapter. The "money solves all issues" is a little worrisome, but I'd hazard a guess with three children to raise they'll get find that even money has its limits! Good writing. Thanks

So, problem solved? Or just multiplied in a completely different direction?

Yeah..right! Fun story...id suggest is going in one direction, and one only!

Great to read you again! As having just celebrated a "significant" birthday, and looking after aged parents, this rings all too true. Love your writing. Please continue! Thanks.

Nice filling out the picture and people stranded. With this sense of impending something just hovering in the background. Great read. Thanks

Jeremy-as-saviour... and he is about as straight as I am; which is to say not at all! Thanks for the chapter. Looking forward to see if Alex -X- can stay away from his addiction.

Chris is so deliciously English. Well written characters with great story. Thanks; v enjoyable!

Stephen has just lit a fuse...no idea what will be the outcome... Roll on next chapter(s)! 😁

Huge progress. Now to move forward, with honesty all round!

Using their wits to survive.... but as in Lord of the Flies the pressure from the people who want to fight will be hard to resist. Interesting tale.

Bugger! Karma is a dog.... can't say enough of us didn't warn the two of them! Ah! The younger generation....if only they'd listen.😁 Great read. Thanks.

The plot is certainly building. I like the clues you drop.... Thanks

The ignorance around "cultural appropriation" is truly astounding. Not the place to debate it here, but all credit for what the boys were trying to do. Great read. Thanks

Nope....😞🙁

In other words, @Bushman60 could be 180 degrees wrong! Evil , evil authors.... Just keep writing!😘

Jeez! Playing catch up with this and suddenly, well, I have caught up! So looking forward to next! Great read, enjoying it muchly! Thanks.

There was a period I lived the life and, yes, there was a butler. The blissful thing about him was how effortless things became. It wasn't suits or ties or people or anything, it was what you wanted, happened. There were no expectations on his side (or mine for that matter) but if we decided to go to the theatre, we went, seats were amazing, everything was fine, same with restaurants, flight, hotels. It felt no different to "normal". Clothes were cleaned, food was available, appointments and moved or cancelled, people notified, told no or yes. After it all ended, again life didn't "change", just I did it not someone else. There was no master/servant relationship any more than me being the boss and my staff doing what was required. Equally he didn't "clean up after" me; I am the same person I was then, no better or worse, he just made everything "happen".

Why? I think the comment verged on poetic!

Just caught up. Somehow I lost track of the story a while ago. You do have a habit of letting us get comfortable then dumping a truck (lorry?) load of anguish on us! I am not generally into revenge and God knows Loz has his own issues, but if he doesn't get his comeuppance soon..... Great read. Thanks.

Sadly Noah has had the right conversation with the wrong boy.... Great read. But may i ask what's this with " but it got super long, so I cut".... what is wrong with long? If it's well written, relevant, and entertaining then leave it in!

I have a feeling a whole lot of pennies are about to drop! There are a few prizes here for masochism. The mind games, the efforts to "prove" you're straight, the ultra strange conversations that confuse everybody. Great read Thanks

Gambling...what a way to start. And his mother; anything but the guilt that that conversation would bring on. Bloody tough beginning.... Looking forward to more positive developments! Thanks

Apologies.... yes; vv = vice versa....
