Despite the obvious reference, with the addition of MaryAnne and the baby Hope, thru MaryAnne they rediscovered a part of their humanity...and a bit of hope for the future. Now, those frisky boys need to get to thinking about a cabin...pronto...Garrett is proving himself to be quite the asset!

Did we forget Ben Dover???

It will be interesting to see what become of Tchama...

I have to believe the strength testing was purposeful, Tchama would need a new arem to match the other I would suspect...

Or Peter Peckerhead, Billy Boner, Tommy Tumescent, someone stop me now....Sammy Sphincter, Lord I need help...

Perish the thought...does Karen have a brother???

I was wondering WTF was up with Dan, and then we met his mother. A great biology lesson here on gene transference...By any chance, is Mrs. Thomas first name Karen, husband Ken???

Never a dull moment and David nearly broke my heart...he'll go far, that much is evident...how old is David?

Just why is store issued apron laced with aluminum, could it be possible Karen or her significant other Ken may have nether regions kryptonite?? He had no name, but the gossiping public dubbed him the Retail Ninja. Armed with his plentiful box-cutter knives, barcode stickers, price gun, and aluminum-laced apron, he was considered formidable. Even with his reputation, evil-doers tried.

Or no place for drips, everything is percolating just find, not your daily grind....

Looks like there will be a unique, complementary collection of talent, a formidable foe to the Messiah's and all others that would do evil...Wonder if we will see The Voice again???

The best laid plans of shifts and bioshifts....

Could this be the beginnings of an organized resistance???

Oh my...well there's a cliffhanger or two or a dozen or so...we all know the heart wants, what the heart wants... And...is Cosmo a blood relation, will we find out if blood is thicker than water...what possibly could go wrong/right now, in several instances/scenarios??? And for those who want to see the bike ride the following can give you an idea... https://mapcarta.com/Scala

I think at the end of the day there may have been better options, but who knows.... It still frustrates me that Devin isn't communicating as well as he should with Mac, we saw some of this in the last chapter as well...if they are going to be a forever couple, they need to iron this kink out...ASAP

No subtrifuge between the two of them, is there...one wonders just how the seed that Eric planted will grow... Would studying architecture make you happy?” That wasn’t something he needed to self-debate. “Yeah. Sure. I wish I could be an architect.” His throat had gone tight. The conversation was hitting too close to home, and he dragged his eyes away from Eric’s searching gaze. “I’d also like to win the Powerball. Wishes don’t mean shit.” Eric’s thumb swiped back and forth over his knee. “Maybe not. But dreams mean everything.”

Once again, thank you very much for the time and effort you make to entertain us with your craft...it is appreciated!!

Wait till they meet the mystic and the rest of the gang... Food for thought, are the halos easily made??? Think what fun could be had bedeviling the Messiah's....

As with many readers/commentators, I was harsh and unforgiving when it came to Marco, and while it beggars my conscience, I've come to respect the mousy haired boy, he's grown by leaps and bounds as he is well on the path to discovering himself and finding that he's on the cusp of becoming a fine young man. I had been less harsh at the beginning with Giaco, I had fallen for his golden boy charms and natural, easy going insouciance. The differences between he and Marco could not be more striking, as Marco discovers more about the good inside him, we see Giaco a bit more clearly as the curtains are peeled back. He's becoming a bit more unsure of himself, finding growing up isn't easy or easy to cover the feelings radiating out of him. He's a bit less confident as Marco becomes so. I found the following to be a quite the tender and moving moment... Sitting before him, in a crisp cardboard box, was a basic but fully featured laptop computer. “I…” Marco said again. Suddenly, his eyes looked unusually bright, and he was blinking harder than normal, as if he was working hard to hold back tears. “It was sort of my idea,” Gianni said. “And it’s not just a toy. When Patrizia told me she’d bought one of these for Dani last year, it made me think… you’ll be off to high school in the autumn. Now there’ll be no excuse to be late with your homework.” Marco backed shakily away from the table and hurried round to the other side, where he pulled his two foster fathers into a hug, mumbling something indistinct into Gianni’s chest. Daniele laughed slightly, a little embarrassed to be intruding on the moment. Glaring at him with one watery eye, Marco beckoned for him to come over. “Really?” Daniele mouthed. Marco nodded determinedly. Uncertainly, Daniele walked around the table, and the smaller boy pulled him in until all four of them were wrapped up together. It is so striking as we watch 3 confused teeagers pine for must seem unattainable for each of them... ASSunta Neri, the fun we could have creating a moniker for her...Who is the sixteen year-old mystery boy...Enzo, WTF, tho we saw something was off coming up with him...as to what the young man is watching, I'd have to rule out drugs, sex slaves...I think too many people to keep hidden, I'd go with hardcore porn, so much easier to move and distribute... Fantastic chapter

A very clever, enjoyable response to a prompt that will leave you smiling!!! Well written and well worth the read!!

I've met and lost many friendships with Calvin types, who were unable for selfish reasons, to sober up and take responsibility for themselves. What I can say is that Calvin is lucky that Diego put up with his crap. I can only hope the three of them are able to bond!! Looking forward to more...

Let's hope that David continues to thrive, and what a great holiday for everyone!!!

I think Dani's parents have the gist of it...don't they.... “Well… you know where we are,” Patrizia said, “if there’s anything else you’d like to tell us.” Daniele nodded. “Yeah,” he replied quietly. “Thanks.” He finished his breakfast and headed back towards his bedroom. In the hallway, he paused, listening to his parents’ quiet voices as they discussed what they’d just seen. “There was always a risk of this, don’t you think?” Paolo murmured. “Friendship and unrequited love… it’s a tricky tightrope to walk.” “We don’t know it’s unrequited,” Patrizia replied quietly. “Who knows what’s really going on in their heads? They’re at such a funny age, not quite adults, but not quite children either. There must be so much passing between them every day that the adults in their lives don’t even see.” “But we’ve always suspected it, haven’t we?” Paolo said. Patrizia sighed. “Yes, I suppose we have. Poor Daniele…”

The following had me in stitches and smiling, I'm also glad to see that GG confirmed Armand's devotion to the home! Visualize this, I was leading boys, with new rods, down the dock to a waiting boat. The Italian boys started to sing in Italian. I asked one of the older boys why they were singing. “We want the mermaids to know we are coming.” I laughed and when I told the boys from the Home they laughed and wanted to learn the song. Now we had Italian lessons as the boys from the Home learned the song.

Sumi and Harakin, and the others for that matter, have a lot of learning about each other and the world they occupy, it should be very interesting to say the least...
