  1. I love the mixing of real places and events with the fictional ones. It provided a nice vicarious day-trip on an otherwise mundane day here. I believe that Tom is truly trying to be his own man rather than his step-dad's son. It might seem a bit late in life to become independent, but it truly isn't! He has found an accepting community where he is allowed and encouraged to be himself and supported all along the way!

    And I get that! I really do!
  3. I've met this stop light on many occasions - they sent it to Orlando,FL and surroundings. It seems to sense where I'm going and swaps places with its friends... Well done story!

    Initially, love is based more on emotion, attraction, that certain "je ne sais quoi" that draws you to a person. However, in my humble opinion, love does require decision to stay when things get rough but two decide to work through together because each values the other. So, guess I'm saying it takes both to form, enhance, and maintain love. Beautiful writing!
  5. In line with the observation by @Summerabbacat re: Patsy, I was eating lunch and almost spit with this description: Bobbie, by contrast, had an engaging manner, but was rather a shapeless blob of a man. Absolutely hilarious! The story, while surrounded by all sorts of crime, still keeps a wonderful focus on the relationships of Louis' band of merry men! Great job, @Robert Hugill.
  6. I am certainly looking forward to and glad there are 10 more chapters!
  7. I've had a very busy week and got behind on my reading. Agree with all the above comments. All the main characters are growing into a wonderfully supportive community. Beautiful!
  8. A powerful tale about what a child actor faced and finally stood up to thanks to the support and love which began accidentally but grew into a powerful redemptive force. This story is filled with wonderful characters, drama, humor, dedication, and belief in a better way to deal with child actors, wrapped in a powerful love story.
  9. I started reading this late and at times felt like reading a Dickensian styled novel: lots of words which created very present scenarios where the reader was truly the proverbial fly on the wall, observing it all! Each chapter was full of emotion and depth. Looking forward to more stories, @Nuno R.F.C. Rendeiro.
  10. "What I set out to tell was a very specific kind of love story about how this unexpected love saved a lost man and gave him a new, genuine life." While your original intent was to focus on Liam's growth, you also accomplished the same thing for Hudson and Mateo. All three came to find their genuine lives.
  11. The story continues at a wonderful pace with just the amount of intrigue interspersed! There is serious material, humor mixed in, and wonderful characters! Love it!
  12. Such a lovely story! I get hungry for cake each time I read a chapter, lol! Next chapter with Charlie and Graham should be quite interesting.
  13. Truly wonderful story. What especially impressed me in these last few chapters was that no one referred to Stephen's disfigurement and his confidence was greatly enhanced. Great writing! Great research!
  14. Michael has accomplished his goals to date, but the confidence of Stephen has grown by leaps and bounds. He's a vital part of this team!
  15. Still a lot of threads but delightfully coming together. While we are still in a fog about who murdered Daphne and whether it was intended or a mistake and should have been Graham, Thomas Englert is not coming across as much of a strong-arm yet. And the elusive item he is supposed to retrieve is still nowhere to be found. Loving this story!
  16. Very melodramatic, but keeps me wanting to read more!
  17. There is a lot of cost to attend these events. Good thing Michael's father is a lawyer! Michael is very focused and determined as shown by his commitment to improving. He has great support from his family, coaches and Stephen. Very fortunate indeed!
  18. I had to look up kedgeree - new food for me. Not appealing to my palate on description, but could change once tasted, perhaps. I, too, loved the slices of life presented here. Louis is so self-effacing that he doesn't know how good he really is. Great writing as usual!
  19. This is a formula for building love for sure! Beautifully written and paced.
  20. This has been a wonderfully warm escape from the regular life - exactly what a vacation should be! I'm looking forward to the next chapter - finding a house, dealing with Rory's parents, perhaps a "wedding" for Jason and Gavin, and whatever happens as life moves on for this delightful family!
  21. Wonderfully warm story. Darren is talented, but also has his flaws. That he and Luca were together for so long is a testament to them both!

    Visiting Eileen

    Eileen is very supportive of Louis and has solidified certain doubts he was carrying into solid resolutions. I like the hints about Graham...I hope there is reason for him to be inspected!

    Where Is Michael?

    Having worked with two blind students and remaining friends with one to this day, I am always amazed at the abilities they have developed. I'm also glad his mother also called him on his lie and recklessness.
  24. I, too, similar to @drsawzall,spent many allowances on comic books - mostly of Superman/Superboy. Wish I had kept them as they would make me a fine income from their sales now! In any case, this story just keeps getting better: Is Thomas Englert somehow connected to Graham? Was Daphne's death meant to be a warning? Louis' small surrounding community/family certainly encourages and yet grounds him. And will the Sarge find a reason to get a warrant to search Graham's computer and business matters? All this keeps the intrigue going! Thanks, @Robert Hugill!!
  25. Robbie needs some tools that counseling with Jo can assist with. He needs to deal with these lows into which he slides so quickly as well as anger management, neither of which is good for him.
