Good boy! You are trying! It's not so hard, right? You'll see the light one day!

Interesting which topics are raised by the readers.... Marco Rubio...perish the thought.... hard to unthink now. CJ deserves better! I think it's amazing how self assured CJ is - given his history. To bring out a toast to a dignitary he has never met before - at age 16 or what? I was 22, I think, when I shook the Presidents hands for the first time without being nervous beforehand! Re Owen the oozing Ozzy: I like him, really a nice chap. But if CJ waits too long, restrains himself too long postpones things - the spark might die. A wonderful friendship will reman, yes, but sometimes a flame does not last forever and then you're past the point where you could have rekindled the fire! I found out in my past a few times.....taking it "slow and easy" for too long.... WALLS will be a hoot, can't begin to imagine what mischief the gang will get into - all the while staying on the honors roll, of course! Would not have it any other way, right?

“I wish we had a taco truck on every corner.” Hey, is this your entry in the "worst election ever prompt" ? We have to think of a nice bike to get CJ started. I am afraid it has to be a Harley, eh? (Even though by now there are superior US bikes around! ) ​Some how I can see him quite easily on a traditional and very practical Heritage Softy. Good for long cruises he will surely plan with Harley! For city life some primped second hand Sportster might do.....kids these days! An openminded and so far not jaundiced Owen surely will get himself an Indian! The scout would be the budget version.....even though he'll be ogling the Vintage....

Yes, Aba is good people. Some are all their lives like that, others reach that state through experience, lives' lessons take to heart (Not many do, IMHO) The financial issue is not easy to solve. It can be a very deep seated unease. Superficially easily fixed....but quite likely to re-appear at odd times.

Heavy stuff.....but Daddy has a good heart! Poor kid, must be shocked to the core....Even I would, and I've been around the block few times

WoW! Just beautiful. Makes me want some ink BAD! ...and some love, yes....

Wow! Beuatiful, powerful. Wow!

It looks like Adrian has not been honest with his 'girlfriend' either. She won't be helping him any once she learns about the true story.... Poor Alexi, hopefully he will not only recover from that massive blow, but be able to put Adrian behind him once and for all! Hard to imagine this has going on for ten years! That kind of clueless dependabilty reminds me of the Stockholm asyndrome, a sad but regrettably not rare thing...

Excellent development! i am sure the Kotaro family has all the possible and necessary means at hand to re- unite josh with Shane eventually. ( and Alexi will make a terrific extra dad!)

The issue with the card will be resolved quicly, as I am sure the statements get to Lily's desk. Alexs seems to be the type ( of artist) that needs to be held and cared for by a stronger personality, that needs to depend....alas, these guys often fall prey to users - like Adrian well might be one. And being afraid of losing this precarious stability they fail to see the threat to their emotional wellbeing for too long....

Ah, now things are on the up for a bit! Would like to get the recipe for that salmon! Can we skip further Adrian drama? Puhleeese!

I really did not get the invite for Josh in the fist place. If Alexi is so keen on rekindling that 'thing' whatever it is/was with Adrian, inviting a comlete stranger for an intimate dinner where Alexi even intends to do the cooking himself is just a bad idea or a bad plot....bad as in illogical. But then, we all behave in mysterious ways at times. It's a good thing Adrian is just as poor in his judgement, so at least Josh has a chance of impressing.....

Not even finished with the first chapter - and I get this craving for a dram of Balvenie Port Wood 21....no idea why?

It seems I read a different chapter 7 than sacred love did....... It pains me to see this love - yes, I know, they love each other deeply - doomed. Doomed by lack of communication. No m,after how good the intentions were, or the insecurities that kept both parties from confiding at an earlier stage....and later it became harder and harder to own up to their respective past. Once a deep secret about/of the one you love has been discovered by chance, through third parties or any other way, you'll never find a good enough excuse why you did not put your cards on the table in the beginning. At least Dann seems to know a lot about Jaesun - does he know everything he should? We, as readers - are aware for quite a few chapters now, that keeping things from Jae - if only to protect him (from what, btw) - only backfires, and with a big BANG each and every time. How can Dan be so stubborn and still try to "shelter" his love from all unpleasantness surrounding him and the band? It#s like in a greek tragedy of old - we see the actors heading for disaster, we cannot believe they don't see the impending doom themselves, and we have to watch them crash, helpless to avoid it......

Ah, so beautiful, the end! I am with Aidan - I love the pup! Chris will turn around, but Michael will not last long.

The inactivity and lack of interest of Jason in the siege and battles are not understandable....no ideas, no input, watching - or not thousands die in the defense and not acting or let the demons interfere is hard to stomach. Even more so the absolute lack of criticism.....everybody seems to find it normal for Jason to go frolicking in the woods, enjoying he baths fucking around while the city fell to the enemy...
