    @Will Hawkins Thank you! The quality of the writing does improve with time. LOL

    @Will Hawkins No apologies are necessary. I've written a series touching on a variety of controversial subjects which tends to elicit impassioned responses at times. I'm fine with it. I keep telling people this story's not for speed readers. There are a lot of details and hints about the future spread throughout. This is definitely not an angsty, teen, love-at-first-sight tale.

    Religion has a way of bringing people together or tearing them apart. The Muslim world often seems mired in the past more than other religions. I have to believe one day they too will be enlightened.

    Guess you won't be reading the one I'm working on now. I'm following the format Cia and Mann use for their Wednesday Briefs: 1k chapters. I took it on as a challenge and an antidote to my frequent rambling ones. It's actually kind of fun to strip things back. It does force me to limit myself to what's truly important.

    @Will Hawkins Hope you make it to the end this time. I look forward to your comments. Religious intolerance wasn't the reason CJ left Miami but it's a subject we'll touch upon in the future.

    Yeah, most of what I write's not designed for speed reading. LOL, that may be a reason why so many read chapters multiple times. I kinda like each reading reveals tidbits missed in previous passes. And sometimes, a phrase will make even better sense after something else is revealed.

    @Daddydavek proud grandpa = insta sitter Completely understandable. And acceptable! The chapters aren't going anywhere. Matias Ferreira, like Alex Minsky, is real. I read a few interviews with Duckworth and some of her actual words are sprinkled into her dialogue lines. The majority is my extrapolation, but I would hope if she ever read this she would not object. CJ will use his financial, political, and social resources and influence to advance causes he believes in. Right now Brad needs him and CJ will do whatever needs to be done.

    I think you described not only this chapter but the series as a whole. At least that's been my intention. Some of the tears have been due to sad events, but I sincerely hope most have been happy ones.

    @Butcher56 Thank you! Glad you like this one. @Daddydavek called CJ manipulative and I wholeheartedly agree. He'll move mountains to get what he wants and right now that's ensuring Brad thrives.

    It's what I try to do with my stories. I know I write about controversial topics and have some intense scenes, but if we can't laugh life's not worth living.

    Thanks, Parker. And to think CJ was ready to throw Specer overboard when the first met. Figures I'd introduce the brother before the husband-to-be. I dropped the initial hint about Owen back then. See my comment reply above about hints and eggs. LOL

    SPOILER ALERT "RITCHIE!" that's the opening line for the next chapter. And careful what you ask for, we have a little something-something coming up that features the high school senior. Every now and then I would get messages from @Reader1810 while she was beta reading. They were often a quote from an earlier chapter in which I'd dropped something readers didn't realize was significant. I do it so later I can prove I had it all neatly planned out in advance.

    So much I could say about the house and grandchildren... I'll settle for the royalties discussion. I read Netflix is expanding their presence and production capabilities in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Considering all the Marvel shows they filmed in the City, I think they'd be perfect to adapt CJ for the screen. How about bit parts instead of royalties. Or you could help me run the casting couch department. It's gonna be tough and we may have to audition a few Seans.

    Careful, don't get too attached to Tilda. Spencer could kick her to the curb during the New York portion of their trip.

    Music's always played a big role in my life. Many a song's inspired a scene or more in this series. With this book, I decided to share whatever I used as inspiration or something I listened to while writing. I'm glad my choice for this chapter fit the action. First Minsky and in this chapter Duckworth but CJ's not done. However, you get a respite, put the tissue box aside, there's only an oblique reference to Brad in the next chapter. Took me forever to come up with the name for the house. When I googled it, I discovered there's an old plantation in Alabama by that name functioning as a B&B these days. I figured it was good enough.

    Told ya they would be around. We get another 'dads snippet next chapter. Most parents send their kids off to college knowing they'll be back on holidays and maybe for a while after graduation. The dads had to deal with CJ marrying and moving out after his sophomore year. With Ritchie at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, it'll be different than having CJ living at home and then a short walk away. Plus, summers for military cadets aren't the free time civilians have. Training is almost year-round. Kinda convenient they own a place in Vail if you ask me.

    We get some more Spencer next chapter. He and Tilda welcome in 2020 with CJ and Owen.
