  1. Thank you so much. I'm glad you're enjoying the tale!
  2. I remember when you wrote that sunglass comment and I couldn't wait until I proved you right! I'm glad you're enjoying.
  3. So glad to hear it. Thanks for reading!
  4. Thanks! I'm glad that came through. I think you'll enjoy the next chapter as well. Dont worry. Its a fun one I think.
  5. Yeah. Both Chuck and Dylan have siblings named Kelly. I'm glad you are liking it so far. Sorry to confuse things but there is a reason for this coincidence. Hope you continue reading!
  6. Chapter 6 - The Green-Eyed Monster “Kenny, you go outside right now and spit that chew outta your frickin’ mouth,” Lynora said angrily. Kenny just smiled and sidled up to her. “Come on Nor, there’s no one in the bar right now anyway. What does it hurt? I can get the bar stocked and won’t need to take a break. It kills two birds with one stone.” “I’m not running a trashy juke joint with my staff hawking up lueggies into spittoons. This isn’t a riverboat gambling operation and I will not
  7. Chapter 5 – “What Kelly Saw” “Hey sis!” Chuck said brightly after closing the front door. Kelli Moran looked up from the kitchen table and grimaced. ‘Oh no,’ she thought. Chuck is going through a manic phase. Her brother has had serious emotional issues for some time and mood swings came with their own telltale patterns. Most of the time, Chuck was in a stable depressed mode. He’d hide in his room, come out rarely and then only to play with his nephew, her son Brandon. At these times he
  8. Sorry about that. I will fix it b/c if it distracts it drains the impact of the characters. I'm glad you otherwise have liked it. Thanks so much.
  9. Thanks for the compliment on dialogue. There is plenty coming up. You also cracked the code on Dylan and Chuck. I don't think they could have met without something drastic happening. I'm trying to be as honest as possible.
  10. Thanks Zandra. You are the best! You made my day.
  11. I didn't want them to tumble quite so quickly but they just would. I couldn't get past what would have happened given who they are.Thanks so much for reading.
  12. Chapter 4 - Country Mouse, City Mouse Chuck insisted on going home and changing after his shift. He didn’t want to have a drink in his mall cop uniform. Dylan could understand that. Chuck asked if he wanted to go to Sweet Nora’s. Dylan told him absolutely not. At first the guard had looked a little hurt. The waiter then said he wasn’t going to have their first date at that gossipy old lady’s place. She’d have them married with a white picket fence and two and a half adopted kids by the t
  13. Thanks Daithi! I'm glad I made that anxiety come through. Lynora is such a fun character to write about. She's a hoot. I'm glad you like her.
  14. Thanks Lisa! Chuck has had problems but he's not the only one...
  15. Chapter 3 – The Willing The Guard Getting him ready for bed, I noticed how fragile he looked. His face wasn’t bleeding any more but I could see the red marks which would turn horrible colors come tomorrow. The gash on his forehead was a single red line and his face was so pale. I placed the sheet and comforter over him and he smiled at me. I almost cried out at that smile. His smile was so golden, so warm. It made my heart leap. I just stood there like a moron and watching him get comf
  16. Thanks for the comment. You bring up some interesting things I hadn't considered. Oh, and thanks about the dialogue tip. I try to do that but sometimes miss that. Ugh!

    Chapter 1

    Intrigued. You can't stop now!
  18. The trouble is just starting. You have great instincts btw. Thanks.
  19. Chapter 2 - The Thief in the Night “There’s a new table at B-6,” Lynora growled to Dylan as she passed by on the way to the kitchen. The restaurant had been crazy busy ever since he’d come in a 5:30 that evening. It was only seven now but Lynora was being pissy. She had a date tonight and it wasn’t looking like she’d get out of there any time soon. Dylan hoped she’d leave soon; her mood wasn’t too pleasant tonight. But, he was glad it was busy because Lynora hadn’t had a chance to ask him about
  20. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. This is such fun.
  21. Thanks. Lots more to come.
  22. Next chapter is posting tomorrow. Thanks!
  23. Thanks, you're right, too many don't walk away.
  24. Thanks for the kind words. I am happy to have a place for my boys to share their stories.
  25. I know. I read that and it just felt like poor Luke will endure as a lonely soul. I don't know if I think Taylor really feels it. At least, that's the trajectory it seems to have taken. Doesn't seem Luke has a prayer. That's too bad. But that's why I love this site... Lots of honest characters.
