What a wonderful chapter! So many things happened that I'm hard pressed to decide what was my favourite. It was great to hear more about Patrick's mom and see him interact with his new son. You can see how much that little boy has come to mean to him. It's great to that Peter's cousins have decided to come visit and be there for him and their mother. I already like them more than the majority of Patrick's family combined. I have to admit, i am a little worried about the surgery. I think Michael will be all right in the end, but it's going to be stressful for his family. The side story of Neeta and Sonia was a definite sad point in the chapter. I can't imagine what Sonia had gone through. I've known survivors of sexual assault and it can haunt them for a very long time Luckily Sonia seems to have her family's support, which sadly isn't always the case. I wonder what call Patrick made to make him feel better after feeling that young girl's pain. I imagine Moster Grethe will be a motherly influence on both young women sooner rather than later Another great installment to this story, Tim I'm sorry it took me so long to leave a review.

Emotions are a complicated and messy business and usually end up in a snarl Thank you for your comment and support, B

Thank you, Def. It was emotional, but Liam needed to do this. Thank you for your comments and support.

lol I know how much people like Marty, and that's fantastic, but no, sorry. No "gay for you" with these two. I promise that everyone will end up happy though Thank you for your comment and support, Jeff

I'm sorry I missed this! Thank you for all of your great comments and support, B

lol valid point DDK

My heart went out to Eileen too. My son is moving out of the country at the end of the summer and Marty moving reminded me how hard that will be for the parents he and Liam have left behind. Like me though, Eileen knows this is the best thing for her boys. Thank you for your comment and support, Lisa.

We'll see where the story goes. Thank you for your comment and support, jaysalmn

I think her words have healing powers too.. they at least helped Liam Thank you for your comment and support Hlasota

Sometimes purging the bad will leave a person raw, but then they may have a chance to heal from past hurts. Thank you for your review and support, Puppi

Maybe. You never know the direction a story will take. Thank you for your comment and support, drought

lol sorry to say but Marty is very straight Thank you for your comment and support, bubby

Thank you, Kitt!

I think deep down Liam knows there are people who care about him. but distance and time can make a person forget. He needed this to remind himself that he is worth all of the thought and effort he's putting into this decision. Thank you for your comment and support, Parker

haha you were exceptionally 'punny' in this comment. Thank you for all of your great comments, Drew. I do appreciate your support.

Marty moving to Toronto would settle any thought Liam might have had of moving to Halifax Thank you for your comment and support DDK

Although I don't want your heart to bleed, I am happy you are invested enough in the story to feel Liam's pain so strongly. Thank you for your comments and support, hoho

How broken is broken? That seems to be the question Liam needs to answer for himself. Is his relationship with Alek broken beyond repair or can it be rebuilt into something new? Thank you for your comments and support, Lux

It was an emotional chapter to write. There were a lot of things I think Liam wishes he could go back in time to talk to his father about. Thank you for your comments and support, Dugh

Kids have a hard time asking their parents for things they need emotionally, especially if its never been given freely. His father was hurting, and unfortunately, may have neglected to remember his son was hurt too and needed him. Thank you for insightful comments and support, Tim

Liam has been doing some introspection in this chapter. I think it was probably long overdue. Thank you for your comment and support, sweetlion

Liam does tend to bury his feelings, does't he? Maybe he's realizing this sis something he needs to work on? Thank you for great comments and support, Gary.

The cemetery scene was tough for me to write. Eileen loves Liam like her own. It's good for Liam to get a reminder of that from time to time. Thank you for your comment an support, Blind

I think Liam may have started to realize he has some things to work out. Thank you for you comment and support, Lyssa

It seems team Alek is getting impatient for the return Thank you for your comment and support, Def
