Crossroad
Uncertain at an intersection stood
a figure clad in median and mode,
unable to decide upon the road,
which chosen, theoretically it could
take such an average person where he would;
yet here upon the journey was he slowed
as all around him traffic ever flowed,
a middle man in search of perfect good.
I pitied him, his head bare to the rain,
for at that crossroad I stopped once before,
and sought, despite discomforts, to remain,

A wonderful, smiling ending to a great story. That noise you hear outside? It's the collective sigh of all your readers. Thank you for sharing it with us. Liam and Alek will be characters we remember for a long time.
Devan, holding everything in, is going to get ill with ulcers or blow up on someone. Circumstances have been so hard on him. Stefan, still tied to a manipulative Chris, is also a victim. What hurts lie in store for this increasingly engaging cast of characters?
Chris knows how to play Stefan like a fiddle: tighten some strings, unwind others, try to let the music flow like it always did. But one can get careless with the heart. It isn't a soulless instrument. And what happens when a string is wound so tight something snaps or breaks?
Thank you, Drew! And knowing some mathematics makes them all the more fun. Mathematical textbooks are surely missing out by avoiding poetry altogether. But doing 'function aerobics' in PreCalculus class may not be quite the same...
thanks again. P
So Cal used the L- word, finally. Davey still needs to convince Cal of what Davey sees, and that it is true. Having Ben as a friend and ally would be a huge plus.
Yes, wonderfully steamy. And Cal made Davey stop working...no more alpha boss...but I do wonder what made Stephen bad for Davey, and what makes Cal so very right.
For now, the bonds of intimacy and physical attraction glue Davey and Cal together. But can they learn to grow roots that hold them to one another? Not that the sex wasn't wonderful....
Well Cal has plenty of courage, that's certain. It's one thing to steal a car from a dark deserted street, quite another to steal a man's heart in front of his friends.
A private lesson with a willing student? Surely that could be arranged. And one of the first lessons is on Functions....
Thanks so much for commenting and for reading these.
Okay, I am now officially not liking Tyrone. He is more than merely arrogant, he's dangerous. He may need to be registered with the RSPCA if he has a tendency to bite. Has he had his shots? And Andy is unlikely to be there in time for the first hymns in church at this rate...
