  1. Thank you. It was very satisfying to write. Now it is time to see what happens to the boys next.
  2. The word 'finally' is most apt. Andy finally. Can have someone to share the load with; someone to hang on to. Someone he can love. Yes, a long time coming, but some things just take a long time. Thank you for hangings in there with Andy, and for your review.
  3. You slept in my arms. During the night, we'd turned, and I was spooned up behind you, but I hadn't let go. I woke early and just enjoyed it. Nothing ever felt better. It felt as if everything in the whole world was exactly right, as if every wish I’ve ever made had been granted. You’re adorable just about all the time, but you’re especially adorable when you sleep. I could tell when you started to wake up in the early morning half-light. Your breathing changed a little. You made the cutest litt
  4. This is so lovely. You are indeed beloved. This poem is quite beautiful, evoking a cascade of images. Thank you.
  5. Andy has had to learn to be resourceful in life..to lie when he had to, endure what came his way and recover, and so on. He used what he had on hand to survive; he's been doing that for a long time. The library closet is a nicer place to sleep than others he has known in this tale, but hardly a nice warm bed. AP Trig will certainly challenge Andy's bright brain in a good way. Thank you for reading Andy's story and for your encouraging reviews.
  6. I know you have been waiting for this a long time. I did not want to spoil it for you, though, by telling you it was coming. Andy isn't going to be alone anymore, which could mean huge changes in his life. For now, though, he can rest in Zander's arms, and maybe that's enough. You are very kind to keep reading, and I appreciate your reviews.
  7. The timing of this chapter was pure luck. But you now can rest happy, as surely as Zander and Andy are. Thank you for reading and for your review.
  8. You were very kind to review, and for reading so far into Andy's story. The next morning is going to have its own problems. For tonight, the boys can rest in each other. That's enough for now.
  9. You are most welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it. I liked writing it, too. For this night, at least, Andy is in good hands and arms - Zander's. How they manage after is something else. But this night, they can rest in each other. That barrier has fallen. Thank you so much for you encouraging remarks and for reviewing.
  10. The journey just took a radical turn. Something utterly new is now Andy's - he's definitively not alone anymore. Perhaps the storm clouds have receded a ways, even though they're not gone altogether. Thank you for your review, and for reading Andy's story.
  11. I am glad you liked your Christmas present. The timing was purely lucky. Andy is in good hands - and arms - for this night, anyway. The enormous gain is that Andy is no longer alone. Now we get to see how he and Zander manage. Thanks again for reading and reviewing this story. A merry Christmas to you.
  12. Thank you for your very kind review. I am very glad you are enjoying Andy's story. His life cannot be quickly fixed, but I can't help thinking that having Zander in his life, along with some supportive adults, can go a long way toward helping Andy heal. For the night at least, Andy is in good hands. Zander's.
  13. You are very kind. Thanks so much for your encouraging words, and for reading Andy's story.
  14. I am very happy you enjoyed this chapter. I hope to helped make your holiday brighter. Now at least Andy has someone who can't try to begin got understand. He is no longer alone. Thanks so much for all your encouragement and for reading Andy's story.
  15. Glad you are happy; writing to chapter made me happy, too. Thanks for reading so far into the story, and for your reviews, Perhaps the clouds on the horizon of Andy's life will clear a bit. Happy Christmas!
  16. Andy finally just gave in and told Zander the truth. For the few hours left to him before morning, everything is all right. No doubt, he will worry about what happens next when he wakes, which will be after Christmas for the likes of you and me. Thanks for reading Andy's story and for your reviews..
  17. Andy was blindsided, too. But he knew Zander's mother would be waiting - will still be waiting for a full explanation in the morning. And we know she's not going to buy any 'my father this or that' nonsense. So does Andy. In the end, the courage to confess to Zander was there all along. Hope your Christmas is a happy one. Many thanks for your reading and for your reviews.
  18. So glad this chapter made you happy. It made me glad to write it. God Jul, and we'll see Andy and Zander again in a few days. Thanks so much for reading and for your comments.
  19. I am glad you felt the 'finally' as I did when I wrote this. For now, Andy could not be in better hands - or arms - than Zander's. Have a lovely, happy Christmas, Thank you for reading and for your review.
  20. Yes, the dam finally washed away. It took a single serious misstep on Andy's part for it to happen. I hope this chapter makes your Christmas brighter. For the moment, Andy could not be in better hands. Thank you so much for reading Andy's story, and for your review, A happy Christmas to you!
  21. You are most welcome. I hope you don't mind that I didn't put a bow or a tag on it. This was a chapter I liked writing enormously, though it took a long time to complete. Have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for reading.
  22. I am very happy you unwrapped your present and liked it.
  23. January was the month from hell. At least, the last half of it was. Mom and dad harped on how these were the crucial exams in an important year. Colleges would scrutinize my junior year grades. Coach pushed us brutally in swim practices. We were going to be a top ranked team in the region. Exams, classes, swim meets, driving test, all that. And Mary Ellen Schmidt hanging on my elbow. The best part of each and every day was seeing you at lunch. I looked forward to getting through February. Maybe
  24. Andy clearly loved every minute he got to spend with Zander, at least as much as you and I did. Certainly, he can observe the details of Mary Ellen and Zander interacting, but he's never been in any kind of boyfriend - girlfriend dynamic, so his understanding of the cues and signals will be limited. Kaz and Terry are probably not going togetherness guides in this, either, still, watching the two boys enjoy each other's company is wonderful. Thank you for your review and for reading Andy's story.
  25. I really appreciate your reading this story, and for staying with it thus far. Andy at least understands a little hope, or he wouldn't have stayed in Blackburn. Thanks so much for your review!
