Thank you much!

Thanks for the comment. I got a bit of a lump in my throat when I revisited this chapter. I think you're right in your review- love makes people act like they are fools. But these two, well like I always say, it is a journey. Can they be foolish forever? Shall see.

I LOVED this comment and your reaction. I'm gonna take it as a compliment you had such a heartfelt reaction. Thanks again for leaving your thoughts. I'm having a great time revisiting these chapters with current/fresh eyes. 🙂

Thanks for this comment. I LOVED Latter Days. What a great movie. I think your instincts are spot on here, and part of what you've discussed in your comment comes in to play. I'm glad Corbin's emotions came out here, because this was one of the most soul-baring chapters I wrote for this story. I'm very proud of it, and yet it's one of the most difficult to go back and read. Glad you enjoyed, and I'm enjoying learning about you in these reviews. Thanks!

That is WILD, but I think you're right. Best to be honest about these things and avoid any further damage later. Glad you're living your best life.

Okay, now I’m curious. How did you manage to get married and unmarried inside of one 8-hour shift? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Oh Mike jumping his own lockdown would complicate things... that’s a guess. I wonder who everyone is thinking will be on there. Either way, like you said, with Corning whomever it is it will complicate things further

Thanks for the comment. I’m sure Greek life will look a lot different in the fall. But I’m told hear and alcohol kill the virus, so maybe packed basements are safe 🙂

Next chapter is already in the works. You know I love a good cliffhanger! Thanks for the comment.

I'm not sure what the best way to address this question is, because it's super valid, but I also want to steer clear of anything that is a spoiler. Since you brought up David, I'll use him as an example. Even in past tense, I think Corbin is viewing this all as past tense. I wouldn't pay too much attention to when things are brought up in that tense, because basically as a writer its a tool I've used to show some separation, and in a way try to make Corbin more likeable in that, 10-12 years later he's able to show some learning from those moments. With that being said, I'm in contact with a large percentage of the guys are in the story, whether or not they stay focal or come and go. Hope that clarifies things. More to come!

Sometimes you've got to build in a little suspense. You'll find out soon enough.

Come on. That’s too easy.

When I got out of the shower, I checked myself out in the mirror, ran my fingers through my hair and thought about the haircut I desperately needed. I should have gotten one when I was home for break, but there I stood looking at my hair as it framed my face and flipped out slightly from my ears and chin. I looked at my face. I looked at the contours of my cheeks, the single crease that curved away from my eyes and towards my temple. I looked older, I thought. I felt older. I felt like t

I love the cruise ship metaphor. Thanks for this comment. I think we got to see a different layer of the two guys, and we'll see what that means for their relationship go forward. And don't think Corbin is letting Dom get away with this one- welcome or not, getting Mike put in lockdown is going to fuel some fire.

Thanks for the comment!

There is a lot going in this chapter, especially the end, so I'm not surprised at the reaction. Corbin and Pete and this point don't know how to interact without the vitriol. We've all been there with someone we love/hate. And you're right Mike did the only thing he knows how to do... and the fallout? we'll see I suppose. I wouldn't hold your breath on Corbin changing his tactics any time soon, however. They'e worked for him up to this point...' worked'... i'll put it in quotes.

I think I'm more protective of Corbin in comments than I am in the actual story- so I suppose it's refreshing to know you've given the guy the slightest break. I really enjoyed writing this chapter, even with the tough ending. Glad you;re enjoying the story.
-
Totally understand your reaction. I don't think anyone would defend Corbin in one of his rage moments, but there is a lot that goes in to getting him there. Still, I love a main character that is less than perfect- and when you're talking about someone based on actual events, mistakes were made in the process. Glad you enjoyed the story. I love reading your reactions- so heartfelt and raw. Thanks so much for these.
-
That's the whole point right? If Corbin did and said all the right things, it wouldn't be much of a story, right? I'm glad you're still reading. More to come.
-
Cheer up, Charlie. Keep reading.
-
Sorry I missed this comment. Thanks for the heartfelt review, and I'm glad you keep binging the story. A lot more to come.

I love this chapter, but for all that it is, it was one of the hardest to sit down and write. I think writing a character like corbin is always fun because he is flawed and human, but everything that goes wrong in this chapter is his own doing. I think you're spot on with your last three sentences, but what will it take for Corbin to see it that way? More to come

Thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated. One of the themes you bring up comes in to play in a big way in later chapters. I won’t spoil what, but your instincts in this post are spot on. Thanks again
