Uhmm, I guess you didn't want to wait for the next development with whatever Ryan received in the mail, but to me that was a real moment when Clayton said Ryan might get mail delivered on the very same day he changed his official address online. How can that happen? Any mail delivered today would have been sent no later than yesterday, ie with his old address on it. Unless they share the same post office, and there is a very clever postman who immediately takes the mail for Ryan and redirects it, I would expect any new or redirected mail to arrive at least one day later. Perhaps they could swing by Ryan's apartment and pick up his mail? Anyway, apart from this moment it was a great chapter. I would have hated the whole get on the stage and be the focus of attention, but it's great for Joe and Ryan, who seem to love it. The designated parking spot was awesome. No wonder Bubba was stressed with having to get all of this organized and taking care of his injured Bulldog too. Pleased to know he's recuperating well, and I look forward to Clayton and Ryan dealing with whatever is in those two envelopes.

I guess Jason has been more than sucessful in hiding his attraction after the pool party. Now it seems to be Corey's turn to feel a little awkward over lusting after his friend and having girls assume they're a couple. I like the way they both enjoy doing friendship things, but I wonder if Jason's lack of sleep is only due to work.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen ! Frantic wawing of Danish birthday flags I'm so happy to have created another SATW fan.

Thanks, Drew, I'm glad you liked 'your' chapter. I like your motto for them, it should work well, even with Rob giving them the occasional prod or push. Eric's dad is clever enough to realize that forbidden fruit is even more tempting. Instead he tried to show Eric they trust him to approach intimacy slowly and sensibly. Of course this only works because Nelson can be trusted too. They may eventually get to the point where my other main couples are, but a lot slower. Hopefully less than 100 chapters, though.

And so it begins. the physical abuse as the next step up in the escalating and very typical scenario of hurting and being contrite. It's time Eric gets taken down. Twoey may not tell Mike, but he should tell Ginny. Of course he won't since he knows deep down, she will immediately forbid him to see the boy he 'loves.' So sad...

600 reviews ! Congratulations ! Your story certainly deserves it. And you have us all sitting here biting our nails and tearing our hair out. So talk about saying Please !!!!

Yes, busybody grandparents are the worst. Mine were luckily wonderful, but I've heard enough stories to fule my imagination. Now the really weird thing I once encountered was someone who had terrible grandparents, especially on their mother's side. Due to this they were determined to live as far from their own parents as possible (remember Denmark is a small country), so their parents wouldn't interfere or have too much to do with their kids (this was before they got any). I just sat there staring at them, because they had the nicest and coolest parents I've even met, and I would definitely want them to be close if they were mine. Plus, I thought they were being very unfair to their parents who had done their best to shelter them from too much exposure to the grandparents. As for the neighbor a display of some sort may be coming... Thanks for all the reviews.

You may be right Caz, although in my stories they seem to be drama helpers, lol. Patrick and Peter can handle anything as long as they have each other and Michael.

that phone call had me in stitches. I had to read it twice, it was so funny. I think this may be my favorite part of the whole story. Awesome.

lOL, I thought I just did? But we'll see more of John and Anthony as the story progresses, so hopefully you'll gain more knowledge as time goes by. Glad you agree with Peter's optimistic interpretation of the no previous friends situation. I hope your assessment of their wedding will come true.

LOL, Caz, that TLC comment made my day. I hope you got both kinds of TLC. I'm glad you can emphatize with Patrick about those boxes. I feel sorry for him, but at least he has Peter by his side.

You're right, Caz. Patrick has chosen the best family for him: Peter, Michael and Moster Grethe. He's ready to give his cousins a chance, but like you say it's a bonus more than a necessity. I think he and Peter will be focused on finding a few more friends as time goes by. Don't forget Peter's cousins Kim and Alice (Grethe's children), they'll be around eventually.

Thanks, LL, that's just what I wanted to hear. A parent of teens saying a little trust will go a long way when you have sensible kids. Of course, Mr. Perry does have the advantage of being a psychologist specializing in teens but often applying your professional knowledge to your own kids can be difficult. And he had to convince his wife too. I'm very fond of Italian Gelato, so I had a lot of fun looking up flavors and deciding what the boys would chose.

I loved Ehren because he was sensible, realistic and brave. He faced some horrible choices, but he didn't freak out. He had plenty of emotions but they did not rule him. His head ruled over his heart, yet if possible he helped where he could, when his heart told him it was the right thing to do. He stayed true to his core values, and he considered his choices dispassonately and without giving in to unreal hope or despair. He's definitely one of my favorite characters on GA, and I look forward to the sequel.

For once I'm completely on Dorian's side. Jade and Jeff behaved despicably, and Jade kept pressuring Dorian. Stupid bitch. This is the sort of thing women rightly have been complaining about for years, how there's so much presssure to have sex, and now Jade and partly Sydney are now doing the exact same thing to Dorian. I'm glad he stood his ground most of the time and didn't forgive Jade or give in. I liked that he refused to go with Dr. Avery with the support of his friends, but apparently Cameron's meeting with the Dean was not a success.

Thanks, Puppi, we appreciate sensible boys, don't we? And we understand the need to be in control of yourself and the situation. But it's one thing to discuss this while fully clothed and in a public setting, and quite another to take it slow when you're in bed togther naked. At least they did hold hands when walking down the street, but yeah they should be able to do it anywhere.

I really, really hate malls and shopping and especially for Christmas.Luckily, I do most of it online. But if I could stand in a line and listen to a conversation like the one Rain and Indie had, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. I guess Laurie gave Preston and the others another good reason to kill Jamieson when they see him next. But hopefully, he'll stay the fuck away from Indie now.

Corey seems completely clueless so far, and I hope Jason can hide his growing attraction for a while longer. I'm not sure whether it will be easier now he's aware of his feelings (although not the romantic part) and can be on guard. It might make him act strangely and Corey will soon pick up on matters getting awkward. Not knowing why might make him suspicious when it's Jase we're talking about. The contrast with Zack is interesting, here Corey seems to be forgiving and oblivious to the point of naïvity.

Thanks, CG, nice to know I have some readers who're not mad at me for taking so many chapters to get there. Glad you liked the food romance, you're very good at that yourself, and also at describing the 'negotiations' of teens in love, so perhaps I've been inspired without realizing. Nelson and Eric do care a lot about each other. LOL, if you look back you'll see I also did the start of their first date (ch. 20-21) without using a prompt. I'll get back in line, once I'm done with the final date chapter.

Thanks, Gary. Very relieved that you think it was romantic and natural. This date stuff is really difficult for me, but I thought they deserved a sweet, drama-free night out after the slightly turbulent start on their relationship. Of course the really hot dessert is yet to come.

Thanks, Lyssa. I think you named the components of that triangle perfectly. They'll find a balance somhow.

Thanks, dugh. I'm glad you approve of the sweet romance and think Nelson and Eric are adorable.

Thanks, Lyssa. Yeah, I can se how having to deal with teens all day will put you off those stories. I'm glad you're make Nelson and Eric the exception to the rule. Nice to have another GA friend who thinks some teens can be sensible and mature too, even when in love.

Thank you, Azorf. I'm always happy to welcome new readers and getting a review is the best reward for an author. I'm delighted the story keeps surprising you and giving you romantic visions. Your image fits perfectly to what I'm trying to achieve. I hope the next chapter will post sometime today, but I was rather late getting it to my editor.

Thanks, Caz, I'm glad you're still with me and enjoying the story. The romance was as important as the sex, and I think they agree both were perfect.
