The brittle Teddy from chapter one is softening and he’s allowing people in again , it seems. The call to surgery is ominous and leaves me with a sinking feeling ...
Often what we regard as a failure , a disappointment or a step down , becomes one of our greatest triumphs and a cornerstone of the foundation of our futures. Thank you for sharing . A fantastic little tale.
I think the report writing is going to be inevitable .... the focus though is going to be quite different and Cohen is probably not going to like the focus. I’m enjoying how his limited / indifferent social skills impact on others.
Great chapter , Teddy will do what he wants anyway , but it’s good that his mom is somewhat behind him . I hope Ryder’s alledged love and current conviction are strong enough to beat addiction and depression . Guess we’ll wait and see?
So, seems I was wrong about Mike , but Nate messing with patient information is borderline criminal , though Cait seems to have his number. Trust is so very fragile and hardly ever repaired , there’s a long , difficult road ahead for everyone.
Mrs Jones is one of those Gems that are so rarely found in the world of education. Already both boys are more confident and poised to deepen the friendship . I sense the sadness surrounding TJ is about to lift little by little . I hope?
It seems Eric has been even more isolated than Ryan, and I’m pleased he is welcomed into a family after being shunned by his own . The greatest Sin of all is the sin of ignorance . Bottom line don’t have children if you don’t ever want to be unpleasantly surprised , because it’s guaranteed to happen, it is your primary duty to love them unconditionally anyway .
What happened to the parents ? Didn’t want Teddy to seem weak ? ... seven years later ? Seems they have serious issues they need to deal with. Don’t know if I trust Nate, or Mike and now Ryder is alone with them and heading for psych ward.
Ironic , Andre believes he’s being played with for eavesdropping , and Koji remains unaware of what Andre overheard despite touching him, I think they could be so good for each other.
Great chapter. Seems a happy compromise was reached, and compromise is always good . There is also the promise of a new depth to the relationship/ interaction of Billy and Reese.
