Loved this! As bad as the world seems, there are good, caring, giving people everywhere, always ready to lend a hand. So far, I find this story very uplifting, and as far as Brad acting too soon, love hits when it hits, and that kiss from a man known as 'timid' speaks volumes. Charlie didn't seem to mind. Speaking of Charlie, I think Stacy just might have found him a job doing what he likes.
Great job, buddy. Thank you! G.
