Rusty demonstrates not only his love for Matty but also the strength and calmness he has gained. With Matty's awesome contribution, Rusty has set up Connor for a fall. His strategy has also revealed Connor's innermost desire to Matty and control Matty. Connor also shows his twisted logic for turning on Preston.
I love Matty's mom and agree with her stating how much she and Matty are alike. Roy on the other hand demonstrated how much opposition Rusty had to overcome to successfully get his act together. It's no surprise it took Rusty so long to set things right in his life. I was very impressed by Rusty's calm and measured conversation with Roy. Roy too will have to change in order to be a better dad for Rusty's brother. Roy really needs to think about why he doesn't know Rusty. I'm sure Roy is very shocked learning Rusty has put all Roy's expectations in the trashbin.
Connor faced his demon and won one more battle, one more day. It was a great emotional chapter that tells us much about Connor and Shamus. It also shows how Ronin has changed, and I liked seeing his support, love and understanding of his cousin. It will be interesting to see how Dakota and Connor interact, especially since Connor no longer looks like a child.
The weekend was very good except for a short bout with indigestion. I found a great herbal medicine for it that works almost immediately. Licorice root capsule. It's considered one of the first medicines and dates back three to four thousand years. A much better medicine than modern medicines and with no side effects. I need to get my jabs soon before the flu season starts.
Hey Page! Doing great! Had the weekly drinking session with my friends, and woke up without a hangover. I also won 4 out of 5 pool games! Good to hear you survived watching the episode. It sounded a lot like one of their BL series. Had to laugh a the frog legs for Max's comment. I'd do the same if someone tried to make the move on my man. 😡
I often wonder when I see a story's first post if I will it will be good. Will I like it? I soon found out I no longer had these questions with MrsGnomie's stories. All I needed to see was her name and knew it would be a great story. Everything said in the prior reviews is correct! I would only add that not only are the characters and plot great, but so is her masterful skill of weaving secondary characters and subplots into the story, which will leave you wanting more stories. Yes, this is a must read story and like other stories by MrsG you will probably reread this several times.
