Hahaha! I love your responses Carlos! You make me laugh out loud. I don't believe there will be any cocaine involved but there is always the chance the butler did it! That's my clue for what's coming next.

Thanks Val!! That's what I was hoping to evoke. I think poor Donnie is feeling rather neglected and gross right about now.

The Scarlet Thread - Prompt 381 – Tag – Uncomfortable situation The sound of revelers was fading into the background. The poorly sung renditions of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ were over and the smell of pot coming in from the hallway had dissipated considerably. Donnie Malone looked at his single glass of champagne in the cheap plastic disposable cup and sighed. Here he was in an old hotel room on the edges of St. Paul trying hard to push the events of the past year out of his mind. All the sounds and

What an awesome vignette and revealing character sketch! I loved it.

Happy Birthday!! Do something special for yourself!

The way everyone is picking up the pieces is very well done. The impact of a crime isnt a singular event. It affects the entire community in the various ways you've brilliantly portrayed. The introspection is the way we figure out boundaries and how to find our own peace with it. Everyone in a different way feels the pain. I'm glad to see Dave is over his initial breakdown. With help he can cope and heal though scars will remain. Neil is finding his stalking Jim isn't as far off from being a predator himself. The guys are all being very supportive. Liam will need to find some forgiveness for himself too. I think he and Neil would actually be quite good for each other, balancing their urges and needs well. We will see. As always, fantastic job, Graeme. Thanks for the story and writing that makes us think and feel.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm of the age group when Anne Murray was in her Hey Days! So, I am of a certain vintage, like wine. There probably will be a story with Justin. I'm working on a character sketch for his college roommate as we speak. It will be posted as chapter 20 in this story. Thank you so much for the wonderful review and kind words, LadyDe!

Not at all! Since I was giving the guys a HEA, I wanted to also make it a fairy tale ending as well. thanks for the review! you've been awesome!

Haha! Carlos, you are always a breath of fresh air! I'm glad I had you smiling and tearing up. That is always a good thing. As far as a sequel, let's see what you think of Harrison first. In the meantime, I will join you in the forum. I'm happy to hear what you think! Thanks Carlos!

Yeah!! I made Irri! Gay! Thanks so much for the review. I had fun with this story. It wasn't going to be a HEA story at all. Not like this. But, the characters had their way with me. Thanks Irri!

I cried too when i posted it this morning. Thanks Litlover for all the support. I hope you like the epilogue too!!!

Thanks ColumbusGuy!!! Well, i wanted to tie everything up and i did promise a happy ending for everyone. Im glad you enjoyed it. I hated saying goodbye. The final chapter will be meeting someone new who is connected to someone in this story. I have a feeling if you like the character sketch Uncles Wes and Angus will make appearances. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks avid!! Im glad you liked it. Its been fun story!

I could use a hug right now! I love this story and the characters have become like friends. It was sad this morning to say goodbye but they figured out what being gay was. It was time for them to realize it. Thank you so much Gary for the kind words and insightful reviews. It has been such fun.

The Gayest Man in the Whole World “Would you quit fidgeting so much? I know you won’t know many people there, but they are a good group. Tyrell’s family is great,” Roy said, looking over at the squirming Chad. “All we have to do is enjoy ourselves. I even got out of giving a toast.” “I’m not nervous,” Chad grunted. “I’m excited.” “I am too,” Roy said, putting his hand on the mechanic’s knee. He quickly caught Chad’s eye and gave him a smile. “It’s exciting Tyrell and Hugo are finally g

Clem is getting such a good deal. Ashlee is such a together person very comfortable and together. He also seems to see all Clem's good qualities. Yeah!!! A nice little Christmas treat! Yummy! Thanks Sasha!

What a deeply sensual and erotic chapter. Fantastic imagery and physical emotional interplay. Wow! I need a cold shower now.

Thank you!!! Im so glad you enjoyed them. Voice of the Garden is pretty special to me. It was a story where certain memories could be revived and the emotions sorted. I also happen to adore Louis and Brody. Those characters feel so real to me. I really appreciate the wonderful review Puppilull.

Haha! I just loved the Wichtel idea and the characters formed from the story for once. I think they are doing some moaning too! Lol! Thanks Timmy!

It is! lol! I'm glad you liked my cheesy little story. But then as I told Irri, I love cheese! thanks for the awesome review Addy!

You are so right. Don't be awed by letters behind a name! I'm glad you enjoyed it ColumbusGuy! We need remember our relationships are built on good old fashioned love and work. It's worth the effort. Thanks!

I'm so glad! I love happy Christmas stories! Thanks Litlover. I'm glad it made you happy!

Merry Christmas to you and thanks avidreadr for the great review!
