Wonderful foundation being laid for Owen to become more confident and perhaps more assertive. Ryder and Owen both have a lot to share with each other before any commitments are made. Ryder will have to understand the situation with Margot if anything further than texts is going to occur. Great start to a captivating story!

Owen feels smothered in Zanesville but hopes Ohio State will allow him to finally breathe freely. Ryder appears to be someone who will help him develop some confidence in himself as it appears he has been through or is going through this process too! Loving this story!

Chapter 4 Trouble in Paradise: 2nd- 4th January 1974
pvtguy commented on Gary L's story chapter in Chapter 4 Trouble in Paradise: 2nd- 4th January 1974
A tension filled chapter for sure! Luck prevailed this time, but will it continue? -
Owen is just at the beginning of his coming out process. Margot may be the initiator of this process, but he was quick to jump on Cole's wonderful warm and open conversation as a hope of a friend. Cole's response, while understandable, is a bit rude: he understands what Owen is going through, but is unwilling to be a friend who could listen and help him progress. I'm of two minds about him. Owen is going to have to eventually let his family know he has no interest in the family business. He ma@y be afraid that they will abandon him both emotionally (though that seems to have already happened) and financially, which could well affect his plans for university. Great storytelling once again, @mastershakeme!

@CincyKris: there are areas of the world where there are very fundamental Catholic churches who actually reject any forward thinking that comes from Rome. It is possible this was the type of church that Julie was involved in, though Levi's visit to the parish priest didn't seem so negative. Then again, maybe it was her family - especially her father - who was the domineering influence. The grace said by Levi was truly beautiful! And his talk with Luke and Matt after dinner has set the foundation for truly open communication.

An interesting morning for Owen to be sure! I would be interested to know Nora's family situation that turned her into this bitch-in-training. A lovely collection of kids that Owen has in his group. I have a feeling he will have a positive impact on them as well as they on him.

And the relationship between Neil and Alex continues to grow slowly but solidly. I can relate to Neil's response about getting tested from the first time I did so.

Ah....that first encounter with a dating app...and at 18! Luke's assumption that Owen would jump at his offer is not surprising, but insensitively forward and only looking for a physical relationship when Owen stated up front that he was looking to talk mostly. However, as a foray into the dating app world, Owen will find that he simply can ignore or block certain conversations.

Chapter 3 High Noon on New Year’s Day 1974
pvtguy commented on Gary L's story chapter in Chapter 3 High Noon on New Year’s Day 1974
Ximo's mother is too self-important and domineering! His father needs to knock her down a peg or two unless he is reliant on her parents' money. He does seem very accepting and supportive of Ximo, surpisingly so to Ximo. -
And because @mastershakeme is the one doing the writing!

Every Owen needs a Margot! She's truly a blessing to him - she exudes confidence and care.

And here we go...off to another adventure of growing into a maturity that is much needed and all the challenges and repercussions that will be involved. I'm hooked already!

Evan & final tinkering with Werther
pvtguy commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Evan & final tinkering with Werther
I found this a delightful chapter - Evan can be overbearing too, but he has very good intentions. Neil is getting more comfortable in his relationship and in himself. Alex's mother will be interesting to watch as she deals with Neil's mother! -
P.S. I loved that Noah's therapist is named Dr. Adler: my training as a counselor was greatly influenced by Adlerian psychology!
-
I find it fascinating that the term "Christian" is bandied about without any focus on the teaching of Jesus, but rather the cherry-picked verses from the Hebrew Scriptures and of Paul, who believed all should practice celibacy unless they were overwhelmed with horniness that they couldn't control themselves and focus on what Paul believed was the imminent return of Christ. There are other Christian denominations surely in Australia that have more accepting views in regards to sexuality - at least I hope so! Matt is showing Levi unconditional love that is more God-like than what he has experienced via his church. That will be the basis for Levi growing beyond his current beliefs.

I especially chuckled when I read the name of the therapist (Dr. Adler). My training in counseling centered on Adlerian psychology.

Such a powerful story that involves the effect child molestation/abuse produces and what brings about the breaking away from it because of the selfless act of placing bandaids on a scuffed knee. So superbly written that follows the journey from the prison created for the child (Noah) and the person responsible for letting him experience acceptance, respect, and unconditional love via his first real friend (Colt). A must read!

Another superb story to add to your collection! Worth binging, which I did! The ending was perfect!
-
Very good writing - the intensity was palpable.
-
Plenty of theories...now to see what @mastershakeme has planned for us to read!
-
Totally agreed and hoped for! George gets pulled over for drunk driving!
-
Colt is definitely at a turning point and must let his conscience dictate rather than the irrational mind of Noah!
-
With the unexpected expected, perhaps Brett will be the one to figure things out. The intrigue is getting stronger!
-
There's just too much "coincidence" involved for another "accident" to occur without linking the dots together. Do they not think there may be CCTV evidence from the junkyard? This seems like naive teenage thinking. IF this continues, there will be trouble either from others or from Colt finally not being able to live with his own conscience.
-
Ok...Vincent, Amy, Michelle, someone sit Colt down and talk with him!
