Haha… hey birthdayboy too 😉 And yes I noticed the ‘writers joke’ about ‘that’ day too 🤭😂

Binge reading today to get to this point. Funny story so far with lots of scenes that make me smile a lot. Thanks.

Thanks again for the new chapter. The tension again is rising. So many things coming together. I get the feeling the coincidence of 9-11, Will’s departure and the revelation of the things they found out about Kris, all will add to the tension and ‘fireworks’ in the coming scenes. The mood rings sound nice, but not sure if you can trust the colors really or if they just will create misunderstandings between Will and Travis, or with other people once they know the meaning of the colors. Captivating like all the chapters before and as always the end of the chapter comes to soon. 😉

Thanks for continuing this story. I think Tom needs ‘family’ more than he realised before. And yes once kids get involved in your life, as godfather, you will get involved more. But the whole of Mitchell’s family seems a happy bunch and from Tom’s view I can see the attraction to that too. Tom and Mitchell I have the feeling they will find they match well long term, but they need to learn that spending much time together and learning all about each others feelings. Thanks for this new chapter 🤗😘

Had too read some older chapters again to get back into the story flow. It was easy getting back into the flow of the story. Somehow this chapter sort of was not as I remembered. Edited it and changed it a bit ? As always it was captivating and funny to read, thanks.

Thanks for the new story. Is captivating from the start.

A story that in my pov should have had a lot more attention. For me certainly a story in the CSR (can’t stop reading) category. Simply grabbed me from the start till the end.

Not sure how many people in the admiralty would have seen that letter. Did secretaries at those days open letters? My guess is St Vincent got a personal letter at the admiralty. For in chapter 9 St. Vincent said Chalmers wrote ‘him’ a letter: ‘I explained to Captain Calvert that I had received a letter from Lieutenant Chalmers…’ Why would St.Vincent tell Calvert and George this before telling the king. Was he hoping for money or what…? So I do question the motivation of St.Vincent. Money, jalousie, The Guild, family ties ?

Great chapter again. Thanks. Though the letter was destroyed, we do not know how many people were alerted by St. Vincent, other than the king. George however seems to be still a favorite to the king. And I guess the presence of the singer will not harm him either in his position with the king.

Indeed. I guess, in the longer term, it will be not that bad for Calvert. George himself has had positions at the court and other positions or times away from a ship and it did not harm him. Still not understand St. Vincents action though. He could have destroyed the letter himself, but opted ‘to out’ Calvert to the king.

Absolutely enjoyed the story. Thanks. The story maybe was also special to me because the big items of this story all were part of my own life. A hidden gay romance, a very loving LTR, kids, marriage, loosing loved ones when young.

I know the story was written some years ago. But it has escaped my attention so far. A well written captivating story. Will be binge reading it 🤭😉. A classic CSR (Can’t stop reading) story I would say. Thanks. Was your first story here I have read so far.

Granger has been doing well in lots of bad situations. This will be a different battle though, as in the admiralty he can do almost nothing. But as he pointed out to St. Vincent it may become a battle on another level if this ‘uncorroborated story’ about Calvert will get out. And yes stories about Granger may come up too during that. Will be interesting to see what Caroline will do in that situation. I do not understand the attitude of St.Vincent towards Granger though. It is almost as if he wants the story of Calvert out knowing it will look bad on Granger too. Thanks, lovely chapter. Got me hooked once again with these series 🫶

Wow. Splendid chapter. Great writing. Thanks 👏
