Well finally! It's about time Tony sees the light around the closet door! Perhaps now he can start to peek out a bit more and begin to embrace life. I know the characters are young but life is just too short to lie to yourself about what is it you really want.
As for Hank, the jury is still out there. I'll wait and see where you take her and the relationship with Jeanine before i decide if i like the character or if she will turn out to be someone I like to hate.
Your descriptions of Rome make me want to see the city, and that is saying something since i am firmly ensconced in an effort to see every state of our own beautiful country before starting on the rest of the world. Your writing is captivating. It has been a godsend over the last few months. Nothing like a good story to occupy time when you can't do the things you want to. Now that i can do again I watch for each new chapter and make the time to read as soon as one appears.
