Great chapter, as always. Love that they keep calling Ritch by his lid name, Ritchie. They should give up. We still call my younger son, Robert, by some of his old nicknames. He's 30 and has mostly given up with the family.
Brad revealing that Chipper didn't win was one of two outcomes so it was no real surprise. I just don't like cliffhangers and they made me respond immediately and negativeIy if I respond too soon. I'm trying to check that.
A good story. Bradley has come a long way and has a path charted out. I do regret the end of the story but all stories end sometimes. I do hope you have more stories for us in the works. Thank you.
