If that was intentional, should we salute Lucas? I don't think Lucas would be so forward... at least not at this point... but... I loved bring Will Merrick into this story, even for this little bit. Yeah, Lucas was pleased Jubal turned Morey's offer down, and that made Jubal happy. He seems to have this need to make the man smile. I don't know if I find Reid creepy... maybe he is just concerned for his friend?? Could he cause trouble? Possibly. One thing for certain, is that Jubal and Lucas have grown close quite quickly, and maybe that is an unsettling thing for Reid to see. To be truthful, I'm glad readers don't have a fix on Reid yet, though there are some strong fears of what might be. Thanks, my friend.

OMG! You are too funny, Dan! Last week it was delicious, beautiful tension... now it's tiptoeing. They do seem to be feeling each other out, and I don't mean the groping kind, though Lucas did come close. I'm still laughing... but I think their boots will be fine, my friend.

Reid is an unknown to us, even though we've had a good glimpse. Love the speculation, Kris, and I'm glad that difference between Morey and Reid stood out. Yeah, Morey definitely acted fatherly... did Reid come across as possessive? Maybe, but it's hard to say at this point. What ever is going on between Reid and Lucas, it would appear Lucas doesn't want to explain it to Jubal. We all have secrets, don't we? Can Reid damage this new friendship? Does he want to? Hmmmm.... Thanks, buddy. Much appreciated.

I love that movie... love the trilogy... the spaghetti westerns had a little bit of everything, but it was the mood I liked best. All those dramatic pauses Clint was so good at. The villains were always great. I think it's a good bet to say Jubal has not had the best of experiences since Victor, and even before him with his pa. Now people are inundated with things like social media, but back then sex was not a topic of conversation with your kids... I assume... so I wonder just how hard it must have been for them. Morey does seem a good man, and if Will Merrick liked him, I think we are safe to do so too. He gives Jubal another option, but I think Jubal has made it clear to Lucas he isn't interested. Of course, that could change, but it does appear Jubal has a strong desire to make Lucas happy. Is that a flaw? I wanted to show the difference in Lucas's reaction when Reid called him his boy compared to when Morey did it. It says something, doesn't it? At this point, Lucas is irritated at something with regards to Reid, but it really could be anything. Thanks, Doc.

Thanks, Albert.

Excellent interview. Thank you!

The new chapter is posted...

A Fine Pair It was a hot night for sleeping, and a shirtless Jubal had tossed and turned for most of it, waking up covered in sweat and gulping air. It weren’t just from the heat, though. He’d had dreams powerful enough they stayed with him after he opened his eyes, and this last one be the worst. Lucas be in ‘em all—but so had the Prescotts, the dead ones and the live one. Each time he’d wakened, he relived that night as he stared into darkness and took long, deep breat

Lol. I hear you, sister!

I like candy!

Nothing like a good tease. Happy Almond season, buddy. I might be close to posting.

Is it, Johnny? What a coincidence... I was just working on the new chapter... so... it might be ready tomorrow... or.... Thanks for the eye candy... he's inspiring....

Happy Birthday, Steve!!

Hey, all!

You just did, and that ain't Drewth.

Hi, Albert.

Yay, Mum!

Just had a really pleasant walk. It's warmer than I thought.

Hey, all. Sunny and 17c at the moment.

He's kind of busy right now. Hey, bro. Have a peaceful day at the faire.

Just finished watching Red, White, and Royal Blue. It was enjoyable... I liked it.

Off to go get grain for my mare. I had a busy morning. Laundry is done, vacuuming done, bathroom cleaned, and I even did some dusting.

Hey, all!
