Wally is an observant guy, but is he an apt student in what you characterize as a master class? (love that idea, by the way) Michael must have learned from Oscar or Javier how to make people feel welcome. Now Michael appears to be learning additional lessons from Trey. Which leaves Wally trying to cope with emotions for which he is not really prepared. You are right that even though Wally is unprepared, he has a clear target to aim for. But who would want a onetime predator like himself? I thank you for your response and insights. I am glad you like this week's chapter.

A great chapter with more insight into how CJ and Owen managed their new official status, and how Brett and Cesar are dealing with a rapidly maturing young man. Your added details into their lives makes it very real. But now, about that ending. Any chance of an early...repeat, early...next installment??

What a lovely story. There is a series of concentric discussions, all leading to the heart. In this case, that heart belongs to Lucas. Joel is a great man. Fantastic story!

You said it! Wally was drawn into that one, reeled in like a fish, by someone who must be a pro. Ellie is a character, certainly, and maybe a friend. Thanks for your thoughts, and for reading. You know it is so very encouraging.

Wally is now feeling for others, that's true. He is also far less numb himself. That is a mixed blessing, it appears. Business relationships needed no emotion; he must feel something now. I a glad you liked the close of the chapter. Wonder what sort of talk Oscar and Javi will have with Michael when Trey goes home?
-
Discovered, but not completely understood. Wally filled in some details, perhaps so that Michael might not ever follow his own path. Thanks for reading and for your thoughts.
-
Thank you, tim! Wonder how long Michael was silently hoping that Wally would disappear for a few minutes? As always, thank you for reading!
-
I am glad you started this story. Hope the hook sets!

And a whole new group of people for Ryder to find common ground with. Maybe he will learn not to live so deeply in his own mind. Lots of chances to let go of some hurt and open himself to something better. Well done!

How exquisitely beautiful. The wonder and magic of these words echo in my mind: two feet of living moss...I can only imagine how that must feel...reveal a world that takes you from your own....II am already transported...words written on a wind...a breeze that can chant of things I only now remember... You have given to us so freely, so generously of yourself, your offerings on that magical and marvelous breeze. Thank you for that part of yourself you share, and for your imagination.

This is an awesome story. I am so very glad to have found it. Thank you.

Under what rock have I been living that I have missed this? So lovely in its baroque simplicity.

I love the word you used...sunlit...for that is exactly what Michael and Trey were. I am glad it was a bit of a surprise. I think Javi and Oscar were surprised, too. For Wally, the surprise must be mixed with a sort of envy and sadness at what he knows he never experienced - and all his own doing, too. I am very grateful for your thoughts and that you continue to read the story.

Liam, on pain meds, and with a body distracted by healing, does not need Alek in his life. Alex may be a very good man, may even be making major transitions in his life...transitions worth a chapter, hint, hint....but Liam needs someone who is just plain good to him. Someone he can trust implicitly. Alek will always leave him with tiny, unhappy doubts. Nathan may not be that guy, either. It remains to be seen if Nathan is as nice as he appears. Great stuff, though it seems somebody's heart is going to get badly damaged in the not too distant future.

Wally must be terribly mixed at Michael and Trey...jealous? Bittersweet? Ironic? Nostalgic? What seems most true is that he must be experiencing a sweet sort of pain, knowing he never knew what the boys have. Yes, Wally is changing and maturing. Thanks for reading and responding!
-
A sugar high...that's great. Wally has been nothing but bitter for a long time, that seems plain. Can a person change his flavor? Interesting idea! Many thanks for your thoughts and for reading!
-
Both Michael's dads will be happy for him; but Javier seems to be much more protective. He's not sure about Trey. How to put that in just a few words? Wally's continuing adventures...has a nice ring to it! Thanks for your comments and for responding so quickly!

Keeping an eye on Michael and his friends wasn't such a difficult thing. Not really. The hardest part of the morning had been his breakfast conversation with Javier and Oscar. He and the older men rose hours earlier than Michael, who exercised the prerogatives of being a teenager by sleeping late. When Oscar excused himself toward the end of the meal, Javier took the opportunity to interrogate him about the previous night. "Oscar said Michael was in your room last night." He met Javier's inte

Thus ends a sad, beautiful tale, with a fillip of hope thrown to us at the end. You worked seamlessly with the prompt, which is a testament to your almost mesmerizing writing. Thank you!

Sorry if this overheated your cerebral cortex, but I am happy you at least enjoyed these a little. They were fun to attempt, especially Pascal's triangle. Every now and then we all have try something a bit odd, no?
-
I had to practice pronouncing them a couple of times. Then wrote them on the board. There are VERY few ten syllable words out there, and most of them are chemicals. Pascal's triangle is one of math's coolest and oddest treasures. I couldn't resist...thanks for reading these!
-
You make me smile, even as I shake my head at myself for putting my full nerdiness on display. Thanks for having a go at these!

You have to study everything in med school, and in pre-med, too. Sorry to have been so obscure in these, but the link in AC's review-reply will help...a little. Many thanks for attempting the extra credit!

Ouch. It is hard to hear a heart shatter.
