I hear your frustration, tim. You should do something nice after they're done, so you can mark this day as a good day. xoxo

Hi @Gary L and welcome to the DiC 🙂
-
A most kind and considerate individual that person is. I must remember to thank them.

I am conflicted as what to say about Gwen. Even though she seemed to have found her humanity in the end, she was quite awful earlier, and that’s hard to forget. For now, I’m of the mind holding a grudge on Matt’s behalf is the way to go as I truly cannot remember (dagnabbit!) what happened with their relationship when all was said and done.
-
Sorry to hear you had such a rough start to your trip, Chris. I hope you’re feeling better now. I’m thinking good thoughts the rest of the trip will go off without a hitch, so you’ll be able to enjoy your holiday as you envisioned.
-
I believe Gwen actually means what she says, and she’s not just fishing for a denial from Matt. Recognizing her failure as a parent is a good first step towards becoming worthy of being called “Mom”. Or in the very least, they can have a better relationship as adults seeing as I don’t think Matt needs Gwen to be “mothering” at this point.

Oops. Posted in the wrong chapter. 🤦♀️

Have a great trip, Chris!
-
Have a great day, Cassie!

His behaviour, especially for a newbie, is weird and can definitely be seen as creepy. Better to overreact, so he stays on your radar in case his behaviour gets weirder. Good luck and take care.

Socks, eh? That was me the first cold day. It was if a switch had been flipped to cold, and it’s still like that. No wide open windows overnight, though it’s seems like yesterday we needed the AC on… Mind you, it does make for a more pleasant walk in the evening.

I know I mentioned this during my beta read, but my appreciation of your clever way with words is as strong now as is it was back then. The meaning behind these words is palpable. As for Matt and Ahmet’s “reunion”? It’s quite sad to see Ahmet is now the one who is trapped while Matt has regained his freedom.

Andrew has a good heart., and I believe all he could think about was saving Matt. Because, if he did nothing, he wouldn’t have been able to live himself. Andrew was Matt’s only chance for rescue, and that’s an undeniable fact, imo. Sometimes we do things that are wrong, but the reasons for doing so are right.

This morning it was 76% humidity indoors and we got an inch and one-half of rain shortly after 6:30 a.m. Debby has moved on it looks like, and I really hope she’s gone for good. It has cooled off now, and I hope that is the case for you as well.
-
That’s terrific! I bet he was so proud - as he should be - of himself.
-
Hi Solus, it’s good to see you! *waves* Just got back from grocery shopping, and it’s been cooler the past couple of days, so that’s been a nice change from the heat. I hope you’ve been keeping well.
-
I can feel the breath Matt let out as this realization hit him. That’s got to feel good over feeling nothing but bad things for so long.
-
Thinking about it, Andrew had no choice but to buy Matt: The guilt of not doing anything to save Matt would have eaten him alive, I’d wager.
-
I really like this passage, because it tells me Matt was not completely beaten down by his captors and the circumstances they forced him to endure. He may be battered, but that he can still appreciate the beauty before his eyes as he is literally sailing into the unknown shoes what a strong person he is.
-
Wishing you a very good Friday, tim. 🤞 xoxo
-
OH, absolutely, panicking is allowed. Andrew did an unlawful act, but he did it for the most right of reasons, because rescuing Matt was something only he could do. Given the circumstances, the proper authorities would have never found Matt. At least, not in time.

I know Doreen is a good mum and she loves her family, but these inner thoughts of hers leave me feeling disappointed. She seems to be feeling sorry for herself and not seeing the bigger, overall, picture. Andrew saved a life while putting his own at risk. That is no small thing that many others would not or could not do, because of the potential consequences this type of risk brings to the risker (yes, I’m pretty sure that’s not a real word ). What Andrew did might be foolhardy, but it’s also incredibly brave. He didn’t think about himself, but of Matt. He needed to be saved, no matter what. Poor Ahmet. He seems to be trading one prison for another. Even if there are no locks or guards, a prison is still a prison.
-
Andrew’s plans for Matt are showing his pragmatic and logical side, but that’s not his current reality. His thinking is actually very scattered, because he has failed to take Matt’s horrible physical, and no doubt psychological as well, state into account. I’d say, Andrew needs to get himself under control, so he can think clearly and choose all the correct options for himself and for Matt. I just love Robert saying “we” and not “you” when they’re discusding what should/needs to be done to handle the rather precarious position Andrew has put himself in. Robert has Andrew’s back no matter what, and that is a beautiful thing.

Is it bad this 1. Made me laugh, and 2. Had me (takes one to know on, lol) calling Andrew out for being a procrastinator? Granted, Andrew has been through the wringer from start to finish with this project. I’m sure, while interesting, a book tour has got to make one weary, not to mention I expect Andrew is thinking the talk with Tony won’t be easy. Though the “pep talk” with the parents, first, was probably a smart move. Also “fecking”, I still really like this word, and I’m happy you found a place for it here. Brings back memories of past conversations in the DiC it does. 😊 Kanaan is not just arrogant and nasty, but a player of the long game to boot. What a trifecta that is. Either that or he’s the spider and Ahmet is now the fly?

Wow, that really is cool. You eat so healthy maybe this is what’s happened with your vision.
