  1. I didn't want the story to get all 'lawyery', so I've kept the legal mumbojumbo to a minimum. However, there is i timelimit and they are heading to court. About six months work has been scheduled and the trial is supposed to be over at the end of February/beginning of March. At first, there was a lot of prep work and now they are moving into the trial itself. That means long days in court followed byeven longer nights at the office trying to fix things that go pearshaped during the day... A lot of scrambling, I can tell you. Some fake it till you make it as well. But a lot of work. Lucas didn't realize just how many hours he would be working. It's the first time our young lawyer has been involved in something like this. Remember, he's not a litigator. As for money, I'm guessing they work on a contingency fee, which means the more money the client recieves, the more money the firm gets... I'm thinking Ander has had a long term relationship with the client and the firm handled the deal gone sour. Therefore, losing is not an option.
  2. Well, I need to think about this some more. But what is the Lord? Anyone really chummy with mythological creatures? I know a few, but that was not one of those.
  3. I'll hold your hand if you hold mine...
  4. Ok... Marines, haircutting, Trout and even Gavin... Admit it! That's yours! LOL
  5. A few songs to fight the sense of impending doom... For Ball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50-_oTkmF5I This is a song I hope Colt hears in the back of his head as he enters that chamber where the Lord awaits. A reminder of happier times and of just how much his wolves love him and need him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r8G3SEGIV0

    Chapter 20

    I hope Kye can finally relax just a little, even if it goes against his training, and actually talk to Ash and Reth. Really talk. Not interpret or draw conclusions from overheard snippets of conversation. Exhale, Kye, exhale! He and Ash could use some time alone, so Ash can fill him in on how the viscount is feeling...
  7. I guess with your alias, it shouldn't come as a surprise... LOL And have a nice vacation! I am struggling to make it till my own vacation. If I can only make it past next week, I think I'll survive this year too.
  8. The horror! The horror!
  9. Love the video! Whatever you might think about the hair (a certain author would probably gauge his eyes out...), I can find it a bit depressing that today the accepted esthetic for me has changed so much. Now it's much narrower and conservative. A pity. Sure, a perm and man liner isn't for everyone, but we didn't bat an eyelid back then.
  10. Yes, what will happen when they both have activities outside the home...? Good or bad...?
  11. We have this expression in Sweden: You don't miss the cow until the stall is empty. Maybe that could explain Lucas' behaviour...? And I'm not comparing Joel to a cow. Just to be clear...
  12. At least my mom only invites me to things, after 23 years of relationship. If I receive an invitation, she assumes I'll share it with hubby and there's no need for a separate invite. But maybe other people do it in other ways...
  13. Hmm... I really didn't see the dinner as something bad. More like Lucas wanting to stay in touch with his parents too. And they are his mom and dad. For me, it's kind of hard to say no when my mom asks me to come to dinner. But getting torn between people you love is quite common... And don't get me wrong. I love the ranting! I was just not prepared for it. Hasn't happened with my other stories in this way.
  14. I'm amazed at the passion in the reviews I'm getting. So interesting to see how my readers react! I think I may have counted on people knowing more about lawyers than they actually do... LOL Stephen is so very proud of his lawyer son, following in their footsteps, that he has a hard time accepting Lucas might not want the same thing. Besides, with Lucas' history it's not really a wonder that they are a bit skeptical about thinking he's found true love. Lucas was a bit of a player... So to see him potentially give up his career for some guy is diffiult.

    Chapter 7

    That was a clever plan to get out of town. Seeking sanctuary. Will they get what they ask for? Change can be difficult, even if it's sought after. I can't really understand Sam's dad or mom. Is it so impossible to find a job that it's worth saying goodbye to your 14 year old?
  16. Congratulations Albert! You know I love your stories, so I'm not surprised. Well deserved.

    Chapter 21

    I'm relieved to see they haven't left all humanity behind, even if it could come back to haunt them. Refraining from torture was a powerful statement from Nobuyuki. I suspect he wants to leave the criminal lifestyle behind him, but how can he without breaking Masahiro's heart? A very tough decision. Seeing how Masahiro understandshis love for Viktor, maybe he'll understand Nobu's need to leave...?

    Chapter 2

    I'm still a bit confused about how all this is connected, but in a good way. I'm patiently (well, sort of...) awaiting further explanation. It's good the story gets to take its time to unfold. When Kraig is feeling better, I guess we can get more information on what happened.

    Chapter 16

    Heartwarming to read of brave kids and adults with a spine! I hope their sit in gets results. And Colton... I feel for you. Some things you really want to do in private...

    Chapter 6

    That was a nice start to a renewed friendship. Just hope they take it slow! Could be best...
  21. This is so silly, I have to share it...
  22. Now I want chocolate syrup! LO

    Chapter 17

    I don't think any of us saw that coming! LOL Nice to see Toby so confident in himself to not worry about stupid prejudice. I'm sure he rocked that tutu. And if not, they had fun.
  24. Yeah, I know what you mean. For me, certain things I read or hear can make me miss my dad something fierce. I was so young when he died, I don't think I actually miss him as much as the idea of him. Still hurts though. As with you, I miss him not meeting my husband or my kids. Especially when my oldest asks about him. Just the other day she suddenly said "He sounds like a nice man..." That gets to me.
  25. To me, the stages make sense and I think you experience them. Perhaps not in the particular order and some stages you repeat over and over before moving on. I guess for some, certain stages can remain. On some days,I still return to anger, pain and sad reflection over people I lost many years ago. So the stages are there, just not as stages but more a circle. A spiral maybe, with wider and wider circles since the intensity of the emotions are reduced over the years. They are never completely gone.
