I loved this story and hope there is another one coming soon to continue what's happening at Burney and Trevor's group including Seth. Great finish leaving me wanting so much more!

Hi All! Just checking in to let you all know I am alive and well. Aod's niece is still with us for two more days. She has a job and starts training tomorrow. We'll be taking her to the training, then going to a restaurant for breakfast. The restaurant serves western food, and makes several different cheeses in the dairy next to the restaurant. After her training, we'll pick her up. We'll take her to her apartment to check in and move her things the next morning before she starts her new job. The weather here looks a lot like the pictures Albert sent. That's normal weather for the next four months here. Nice thing about it is the air is back to normal and the daily temperatures have dropped 4 C during the days and nights. Also, it is not the continual rain day and night. Usually a downpour late afternoon, and another sometime during the night. The rest of the time is sunny with clouds. Aod and I went out with friends to a great restaurant with Thai and western food Wednesday night, and drinking with friends Friday night. That's about it. I'll check in again tomorrow.

Hi All! Sorry I haven't been around much this week. I'll probably check in a couple of times next week also. I've been a bit busy. Aod's parents called last week and asked him if they could send May, Aod's niece, to say with us for a week. She's just out of high school and is looking for a job. She got here Monday and Aod and I have been taking her around job hunting. She go a job on Wednesday at a 7-11. We then had to help her find an apartment close enough to work so she can walk to work. That's done, and next week we will help her get set up in the apartment. Whether buying or renting in Thailand, furniture comes with the apartment. What we will need to do is get groceries and some cooking appliances, pots, pans and utensils as well as stock the refrigerator some. I haven't had time to read here, so I am hoping all is good with you all. ❤️

Valrinda is a much better being than the others Beckett has been dealing with. I think it is because of the emotional bond between the two. Valrinda also has given him more information that Parallax did. Valrinda does seem to have some background information after touching Beckett. If Beckett asks the right questions, I wonder if Valrinda might have more information that could lead to clues for Beckett to follow up.

🤔 The best place to find beechnuts is to go to a nude beach in summer. They are also found at other beaches, but are mostly hidden from view.

I agree that Enzo and the old witch's appearance was not coincidental, especially after the cryptic warning by Enzo. Luca's introduction to their private hideaway went well. The shopping trip did also. I wondered why Marco got so upset by Dani's suggestion for clothes. I'm not buying Marco's comment about Dani trying to turn Marco into a Giaco clone. It was only one shirt after all. Dani's thoughts on who he would turn to, Giaco or Marco, was surprising.

The devious little plot did work to get the boys together in the same dorm room, as well as entertain the rest of us. The dorm does seem to have a mixed group of students that were boisterous the weekend before the beginning of classes. I do think it will calm down. Usually when classes start the upperclass students will be the ones to lead the way. They usually don't want to was two or three years of work. They also tend to put pressure on the younger students to calm the kids excess energy. Looking forward to the beginning classes. Since they are basic classes, our guys should do much better than the average scatterbrained freshmen.

He definitely sounds like he is a great kid that stands up for his faith and the safety of others. Kind of reminds me of a college crush I had who was Jewish, a curly redhead and became a professional ballet dancer in Alberta and Winnipeg.

Hi Page! Great story about you shopping trip! I see you survived the night so far!

I am sure that might change depending on your question.

You got that right! Nope! Legally they are mine on loan to both of you!!!!

That's called self preservation, not protection! 😄

If I void the agreement, then my commission for doing so will be to reclaim all of SE Asians for myself. None will be up for grabs by either of you! Now stop trying to reinterpret the agreement! The agreement doesn't come under any literary rules, theories or trends!

There's always the gifs!

Wow! Kbois actually remembers us. I've knitted a couple of thousand doilies waiting for Book 3. Do you think she's gone thru enough excuses yet, and be ready to start again? I think we may need to bribe her with a couple of cases of her favorite liqueur du jour!

If I add "diabolical" to the description, do you think you could another chapter or four to the story? I've had a great time reading this story as well as the rest of the series. I do hope the series continues. I am looking forward to further adventures of these three in particular. I also want more of Seth, Thad and Wade. Since there was a big build up in this story about Randy being turned, I do hope that happens as well as the emergence celebration before the end. Great chapter and I liked the level of sex, as well as the obsidian pendants as a sign of the love shared by these three.

Hi Clo! ❤️ Don't listen to the tiny tyrant. You'll make a great teacher! If you kids get distracted and bored (which is normal for preteens and teens), just tell them a few hobbit stories. That'll have them laughing and get their attention again. Of course you may need to leave out certain naughty details depending on their age.

Hey Spike! You and Clo did a great job keeping the hobbit from wrecking havoc today!

Turnabout is fair play. Y'all exhaust us too! Sleep well mischief maker.

Dani and Giaco are much the same, but their hormones are probably more active. Giaco wants what he had before, but that's not going to happen. Claudia's comment was spot on when she told Giaco to not break Dani's heart. Dani is still very much in love with Giaco and Giaco knows this. Giaco seems to be between encouraging Dani and holding Dani at a distance. It is obvious that all their friends know and understand what is happening. Marco at least knows that Dani will not be his as long as there is a chance Giaco will decide to choose to love Dani like Dani loves Giaco. At least now Marco has parents that love and understand him. He is also changing for the better. I hope he can find someone for his own if Dani and Giaco finally become a couple. Great start James! I love the beginning of this story!

I agree with @pvtguy that it is great to be back in Ravello again with Dani and Giaco. @drpaladin enigmatic comment sounds more like a prophecy. The kiss was definitely a core memory for Dani. Nicely set up James.

As @scrubber6620 said, Caden's power of persuasion had led to Ludwig changing his mind, and he now wants to have sex with Caden. That's a big change. The sex went very well for both. @centexhairysub commented things are very complicated. The plane was a surprise and to be honest, I am not sure it is a rescue plane. Rescue planes usually don't search at night over open oceans. It is more commonly done by helicopters specially equipped and with greater range of vision. A plane flying like this might be it trouble. It is a complicated situation.

It's late, so goodnight everyone!

Let it all out! You'll feel better.

Hang in there Albert! You're doing a great job. You and Man seem to have kept him in check today. Love the Spock gifs!
