  1. Choices are the bricks and mortar of lives, perhaps. Oh, that's a good topic for another....Poem.
  2. 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, for though I had no d

    Epilogue

    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.
  4. It was beautiful the first time I read this; it's still beautiful now. I suspect that it will be that way always. Kind of like hope itself. Thank you.

    I am very glad the taste agreed with you. It makes for a warm, yet delectable dish, I think.
  6. Thank you, Def. Not sure I can use this in my classes, either.

    Chapter 5

    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?

    Chapter 4

    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?
  9. 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

    Chapter 7

    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.

    Chapter 6

    Are you in love with Cal, Davey? I sure hope so, because as much as a broken heart would hurt you, it would destroy Cal.

    Chapter 5

    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.

    Chapter 4

    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....

    Chapter 3

    Cal is betting everything on Davey. And who knows? It sounds as if Davey is doing the same with Cal. Now maybe dame fortune will smile on them both.

    Chapter 2

    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.

    Chapter 1

    An interesting start, with an antihero I want to know better. And then - oh, dear.
  17. We shall have lots of time to practice, then.
  18. Indeed? We can move from functions to relations, then...
  19. You are really nice to say so. Sometimes, the last stanza is the very devil to write.
  20. All my math teachers were clever, older gents. Not enough to distract me, I'm afraid. You were fortunate.

    Use this spice on you dishiest favorite...erm, favorite dish, I mean. Enjoy it often! Thanks for reading!
  22. 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.

    Thank you, Lux. Glad you liked it.

    The Fifty Quid

    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...

    The Brat

    What a great chapter - we get a bit more info on Andy, and we get to hate on Tyrone. So easy, too. What a good thing I am not a pop star....
