lol I think everyone has a guess, and each one seems to have a good reason for the choice. Mom does sound like she's thawing. Maybe the reality of losing her child is scarier than having that child love someone of the same sex? I guess we will have to wait to see if anything comes of the call. Thank you for all of your support and your wonderful comments, Gary.

lol my cat used to be very protective and proud of his prizes too. Count yourself lucky he didn't decide you looked hungry and left you 'breakfast' on your comforter. Pud would sometimes try to bring a mouse or bird into the house and set them at my feet... his contribution to dinner. Good for Guero: protecting his prize. I'm sure he looked every bit a king at that moment 🦁

It sounds like you and Guero were comforting each other through that storm. A true friendship and another wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing this Drew.

Unfortunately, sometimes prentending not to see the truth is a preferable option for some... no matter how obvious that truth is. Friends of a co-worker of mine saw the signs he was being cheated on by his wife (eg strange vehicle 'visiting' when he was at work). They refused to see or acknowledge the uncomfortable truth until it all came out when she finally left him. You're right though... they feel foolish for buying the obvious lies now.

haha I really like both sisters too. Elena is a hoot, and I really see her and Bryce clicking. Nat is the more reserved sister, but she's also protective of both siblings. I wouldn't want to mess with her Thank you for your comments and all of your support, B

I'm totally fan-girling over Michael right now Both men are wonderful, but Michael was amazing in this chapter? Knowing the exact day he and Kendall first made love. OMG! If I wasn't already a fan, that would have done it! The advice both he and K have to Nate was spot on. There is no magic age, but you should at least try to choose someone who you love. Your first time only comes around once, right? Mrs B was great! I have to admit, she had be worried for a bit, but she won me over. Michael is right, she had no experience with gay men, except for television shows, so how would she know what was true and what wasn't? The important thing is she was willing to learn and willing to give them a chance. I think she's going to be like a grandmother to the guys, and a great grandmother to the baby. "Cloud Nine Manor". So perfect

lol Thank you, Lux

The dinner scene in my head was a lot of fun. I could practically hear the laughter Thank you for your comments and support, Jeff

Damn, poor Alek. I think he might have to duck and cover when you're around Thank you for your comments, and support Drought.

Well, you'll know next week if you're right Thank you for your comments and support, Crazyd

lol yes, Jason would understand what a hockey cup was for sure I agree, I think the best present Alek would have received was Liam admitting he loved him. Thank you for your comments and support, Tim

It can be hard to combat old world prejudices and attitudes. The women in the family seem to be doing a pretty good job of it so far though. Thank you for your comments and support, deville

Thank you, Gary. I would have struggled with this chapter without you, and I appreciated every bit of advice you gave me to make this chapter something I am proud of.

Gary is a really good secret keeper. You have to be to be an editor/author around these parts Thank you for your wonderful comments and support, Drew

Thank you, Lux

Thank you, Def I really appreciate your comments and support

I'm not sure if Liam knows how to use a lasso, but I think he'd give it his all if he'd get Alek on the other side Thank you for your comments and support, deville
