Awesome! Glad u liked B ... loved no less! ... I had someone write me that they were glad the iPad they were reading this on is light enough to hold with one hand! Now he LOVED it ...

Oh no three hugs! U definitely got infected with my fever now. D'oh ... I shoulda warned u im feeling crook ... Can't even write my head s so sore ... I'm planning though and I'm thinking it'll end up matching my mood right now and be a downer agnsty chapter 20 ... Nothing has gone wrong in like ... 2 chapters! Anyway thank u for reviewing!

Anyta yay glad u enjoyed. Bit of an emotional roller coaster hey? Hot cold hot cold. What is going on inside Haze's head? I wonder if he even knows... I notice u r joining the consensus re haze being uncomfortable with his sexuality. You *know* I can't write what everyone expects huh? Gonna have to be something else otherwise I'll get all these people saying: I knew it! can't have that... Mum and mystery dad are due for an appearance too - u r right! Well neway... More soon

Wow what an awesome review! Sheez why didn't u start reviewing earlier! It's the highlight of my day to get such positive feedback! So let's see ... Yeah I guess this chapter was distinctly different from the last one which was entirely emotional (although some readers thort it needed a kiss) ... This time there is no real talking but lots of doing. But its interesting that some people are saying it was purely physical ... I didnt really mean it that way, ikinda thort i was hinting with haze's inability to keep his mask on that he was feeling plenty. I think u r right about some angst heading our way! and finally re the reason for hazes behavior the consensus of these reviews seem to think it's about hiding his sexuality from his mum. So I'm gonna have to make sure that's not it or else there'll be no surprise. Hehe. Anyway thanks again for your awesome encouragement!

Hey there thanks for dropping me a note I'm stuck at home with a fever today so was thrilled to find all this feedback when I got off the couch to finally check! I'll update as quick as I can!

Yay! Music to my ears that's exactly the kinda response I was aiming for hehe ... Too much sadness and angst lately so I thought a bit of a change was in order (okay so it was still a bit angsty in parts but intermingled with new feelings). I am so glad u liked

Hello there again ... Yeah I seem to remember u saying last time u reviewed that u wanted more dialogue and you liked those bits the best. Guess there was some dialogue here but mostly 'action' instead of worlds I'm curious about your version of Haze ... We got two reviewers who think Haze was just after the physical and now one who thinks he's just new to these feelings. I mean the story doesn't say ... It's all Blakes imaginings so who knows what Haze is really thinking. Hmmm ... Have to think about that. And as for the curve ball ... Do you really think it's not coming? After reading this far surely you could second guess me better! But a happy ending is my favorite kind too!

WOW ... That was the awesomest, most disheartening, pleasing, misleading and confusing review I ever got! I think. I'm just gonna say thanks neway! Yeah the boys need to talk stuff thru hey ... I wonder if they will ... stay tuned monster-girl ... I write as fast as I can

I'll take those as good hysterical screams and say thanks you!! ... Yeah 'it' finally happened ... Except what's "it" exactly? First kiss ... Err no that was a couple of chapters ago. First admission of mutual attraction/being gay ... Er ... No they didn't talk about it so no ... Boyfriends? Who knows ... Mmm come to think of it what did happen? Typical me ... Nothing! Lol

Thank you there yellow ... (my fav colour btw) ... Glad u found it hot ... I did enjoy imagining the scene (in fact I even stage acted it a bit with two pillows in my lounge room LOL ... Just to make sure it made sense ... Given the layout was weird with Blake starting out in front and haze sitting behind ... I wanted to make sure I wasn't describing anything that was physically impossible)

Another one who reckons Haze is a player ... Taking Blake for a ride ... Why buy the cow when the milk is free? Yeah he didn't come off great but it's all from Blake's perspective and who knows what Haze is thinking (maybe even I don't ) ... Surely there's gotta be more to it? Hmmmm ... I'll see what I can come up with next.

I know huh? Only question is where from here ... Hmmm maybe a bucket load of amnesia ... They forget about it all? Maybe it was just a dream? Haha how much would that annoy ya! ... Hmmm it's almost tempting ...

Awww shucks u r making me blush (what's the emoticon for that again?) I wish I could say it was based on what I got up to last week but alas it was fiction hehe

I swear that is not the case! I try to set aside 4 hours or so a night 3-4 nights a week and whatever I can squeeze into work hours when I'm not busy. It's just that sometimes the inspiration is there and comes easily and sometimes it doesn't! Reviews gimme both encouragement and ideas so they totally add to the effectiveness of time spent hehe ... I'm glad u liked and thanks for your continued support

Hmmm maybe ... Guess the story isn't really explicit as to what's going on in Haze's head (maybe I'm not sure either yet ....) Still what was going on in Whispers in the Dark? That wasn't physical ... Had to be emotional. But certainly Haze's behavior is contradictory and confusing. Have to explain that a bit more I guess hey? Thanks for the review!

On at least some level, Blake had always been aware that he was an unusually anxious person, beset with fears and worries well beyond those of other people, other normal people anyway. ‘Neurotic’ his mother had called him, even as a small child, although she could hardly point the finger herself. It hadn’t taken years of therapy or some ‘breakthrough’ for Blake to figure this out about himself. He had confidently identified the problem to his psych at their first session, having prepared meti

Well I had to take a break from the angst or else my readers were gonna start hurling themselves off bridges besides the boys were due for a break. Hmmm u should like the next chapter too then ... its low on angst and high on glimmers of hope. Daylight ones but thanks for reviewing

Yay! Glad u agree with me thanks for taking then time to review too, much appreciated! Next chapter coming soon ....

Hello there ... thanks for the review! I'm glad you like my story, especially since you broke your rule about only reading completed stories! I'll take on board your feedback ... I am a bit of a chronic procrastinator and I guess it shows in my writing = the plot is pretty slow. I am kinda aware of that and have been trying to speed things up a bit. Didn't realise Blake's awkwardness and nerves was getting too repetitive though, guess part of the problem is I've been writing it now since November last year so sometimes its hard to remember what I've written. Anyway, I hope you will find the next chapter progresses the story a bit more (although now I look at it, it does start with some more of Blake being awkward and nerves ... hmmm ... that is the character though!) Thanks for taking the time to review and to let me know your thoughts

Hello there thanks for the review I'll have to put more romance in for u then huh? Not much actually in there yet! ... It's coming...

Hello there! New member and reviewer - welcome! I'm so glad you are liking my story ... But am sorry to hear it parallels experiences from your life last year. I do hope you are feeling better, no one deserves that. On a lighter note u can rest assured that my story will have a happy ending. I'm a big believer in happy endings. At least in fiction!

Thanks adamo ... But you really think a kiss would've worked there?! Man u have a crazy sesnse of romance haha anyway I reckon one just might be coming up though ... In the next chapter I'm writing as fast as humanly possible!

True they are the one step forward two steps back type ... But I reckon there were quiet a few steps this time in the right direction, too many to go back again!

Yay! Well as I said to Anyta I love to push peoples emotional buttons hehe Nervous, awkward ... before that depressed sad ... I have to write something that presses happy buttons I think sometime soon ... sorry about the wait, but it takes a lot of time to write and I dont seem to be able to get the chapters out more than once a fortnight so all I can say is at least no one is facing down certain doom at the end of this chapter!
