Marco glanced up at him for a moment, his grey eyes uncharacteristically unguarded. “Did you…?” he began, but then he seemed to think the better of it and he tailed off. He turned away. “Ah… I’d better go. Arrivederci, signore.” “Gianni,” Gianni reminded him gently. I do believe Gianni meant to say "Marco"... Gianni is still young and inexperienced as far as parenting a child as old as Sami is - and especially understanding the depth of feeling Sami has but is unable to rationalize yet. I do hope that Reza is able to assist Sami, but Sami has to let go and love once again once he realizes he is not going to be abandoned by Gianni and Angelo. Great writing!!

I do foresee some help with Sami with Reza - at least I hope so. As is said, "it does take a village!" And they do live in quite the village!

I agree with the comments about Dion and James, but I am very impressed with James' mother! He doesn't yet fully realize the gift he has in her! I'm also so very glad that he has Mr. Wilbur with whom he feel so comfortable to talk. Everyone needs that type of friend/counselor.

In order not to repeat the comments already posted, I just want to say that what a delight it is to be back in Ravello and catch up with these two wonderful characters as they work through the challenge of parenting. And, they are doing so with an adopted child who has lots of baggage to work through. To see the doubts of Gianni is so relatable. Thank you for another installment in this wonderful series! Tony

Lots of ground covered in this chapter: we learn more about Don, the scenes with Alex are troubling as Robbie is pressured into drinking and smoking, and then the interactions both with Nathan and Rory. Robbie's life is never simple!

I'm eager to see the next steps...

Chapter 10 Rock Bottom!!
pvtguy commented on Georgie DHainaut's story chapter in Chapter 10 Rock Bottom!!
Niki has a lot to learn about independence and responsibility and Inno is the proper teacher and assistant in this venture. I wonder if Niki will ever discover why his father hated his mother and him. And what about his brother? Will he do anything to help? -
There are always levels in discipline...pushing is one thing...striking and drawing blood or injuring is much more serious. Having to sit in on discipline conferences over the course as a high school counselor for 28 years and 8 years as a Middle School counselor, I have dealt with Donovans before... what the principal did hopefully will teach true discipline: self-control through honest self-realization.

What a fascinating character Eliot is! Similar to people I grew up with! I never got involved in gambling of any kind - I won't even play the Lottery! - as my father lost a lot of money gambling and always hoping for that big day...

Chapter 9...United They Stand!
pvtguy commented on Georgie DHainaut's story chapter in Chapter 9...United They Stand!
Niki's father is going to come into play at some moment...perhaps Herr Weber - or might it have been Raimund in the bushes - will have pictures to give to Niki's father. This chapter has given us all an emotional roller coaster ride but also was very educational! Great job. -
While I loved this chapter, I think I enjoyed the comments equally! All well done!
-
Donovan is right: no one talks to him like that and that is what he needs - a reality check. Somehow, I think he is going to get it from Roy, Jackie and James!

A short, yet very informative, look into the CJ-verse. CJ and Owen attend their friend's wedding in a most beautiful setting. CJ gets to confront several ideologies and meet very important people who will play a part in his political journey. Very well written, as are all of Carlos Hazday's stories, it is a superb read!
-
And another wonderful story comes to an end! Very fitting ending - light yet pointed to more adventure.

CJ certainly is being groomed for greater possibilities in his life. Still, Owen will be his biggest grounding agent. I could see how Mr. Parker would want him to be an integral part of his company, but that would not be the political opportunity CJ seeks. Another wonderful chapter.

I have a feeling James' parents might well want to follow through if James does tell them what happened. In any case, Jackie is correct: rape often goes unreported because of shame, potential publicity and the judgment some will try to make that the victim asked for it. Unfortunately, people like Donovan often get away with this behavior until several victims finally come forth - and if your name is Tr++p, it still goes nowhere!

Chapter 8 ... What Easy Times?
pvtguy commented on Georgie DHainaut's story chapter in Chapter 8 ... What Easy Times?
Inno is very good for Niki! Niki might actually get the courage to step out on his own! -
Another amazing chapter! For all their wealth, the Devlin-Majors are certainly people oriented - taking great care of their employees. They are correct in their view that when employees feel a sense of ownership, they do their best to keep the standards high! Now on to more adventures!

I love how you weave an even tighter web with each chapter. So many questions - so many possibilities. Looking forward to next chapter!

Our current "leaders" (and I use that word both weakly and derisively!) are more interested in dedication to party than to the American people as a whole (exception: their "base"). That goes for both parties. The days of working for a compromise that satisfies neither party fully but serves the people have all but disappeared. We have to rely on weak majorities that are only out to cancel each other.
-
Entertaining, educational, potential intrigue and full of warm relationships. I love how you weave all these elements together into exceptional writing! Looking forward to reading anything from you is one of the highlights of my week! Tony

James is indeed in for a wakening! I do hope Roy comes to his assistance before anything bad happens.

I like the process of trying to think of all alternatives in order to see what might be possible or unlikely. They’re looking at her getting away; might it be possible someone else is involved in her getting away?
-
What relaxing way to start a Friday! I agree with the previous commenter: this story has many elements in a truly short space! Well done! And I love that Owen and CJ get some time to themselves!

First Love (lust?) is clouding James' thinking - sounds normal to me, but also dangerous. I hope he doesn't get taken advantage of by Donovan or anyone else at the party. I do hope James befriends Dion and Dion lets down his defenses. Tough being a poor student anywhere; add to that, he's black and a very strong minority, it seems.
