A new mystery? The question becomes, if Andrea is to be trusted, is Jonah older or younger? Some of his mannerisms point to younger - and he could easily check company records to confirm - or he could be older if there is some kind of game going on.

Apparently you can't trust angels, either.

Thanks very much, Geron! It's funny because I'd been uncertain about the story before letting it out there and yet it's done so well. What the heck do I know?

Thank you, Quixo! This story was set in Cynus's Fearless and later Weightless universe, with his permission. I followed this story with Wild Hearts and completed the arc with Afterglow. They do read best in order, and I recommend you read the work that inspired them by Cynus.

Very good. I like the mixing in of real world issues that can influence a relationship. Well done.

They didn't tell him, Jake's dad did through the work connection.

I didn't know this was going to be featured - I'm humbled. Thank you!

Very enjoyable, glad to see it continue.

@Talo Segura thank you for including my story, that was very kind.

Nana Atuwa, Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them - and you're right. I have tended to create drama in harsher ways and perhaps that's something I need to take a closer look at as I get ready to write whatever my next story ends up being. Thanks for commenting.

The idea is more related to how Drew handled the situation. He read, correctly, that Joe was simmering from having been embarrassed rather than dealt with. In a room full of boys, like a locker room, erudite discussion and witty remarks don't usually carry the day. I don't think this is representative of anything other than my imagination - people are brought up a myriad of ways and the US is huge, which creates areas of difference from child rearing to political thought to what ever you can think of. I think it's a mistake to consider that any single thing can trace back to make sense of a co

I think there is also more readily available information, in the positive and negative, than there were in the 70s. You do the best with what you have,

'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.' - Oscar Wilde. Not a new idea, but a well said one.

I think there are conversations that should be had, and some folks don't always agree with me. As someone with experience, Teo relayed what he knew to make his brother's experiences better than his own - to learn from his mistakes. At most it's character development between the two, which may be redundant, but I think it recurs enough later - and there are plenty of stories where a first time encounter goes so smoothly as to defy belief that education for reader or character is a good thing.

There is a Sanitaria story entitled Never Fall in Love which centers on Garrett French, mentioned in the serial Candy & Kisses. Once I apply the edits it will debut on my Patreon page for the Sanitaria subscribers. A few weeks later it will appear on my site, and possibly here. The Panic! sequel is waiting for me to decide on a plot point, but it's about ten pages in or so I think. I've been watching some Star Trek and have been thinking heavily on picking up the Star Trek story I started about ten years ago. We'll see what holds my attention longest.
