You’re very kind. Yes, that kiss took a long time to develop, but it’s going to stick with Rick for a long time! Thanks for waiting to see it happen.
-
Thank you for sharing parts of yourself.
-
That works too.:)
-
Rick will be floating on air after that kiss for quite a while. Though they were interrupted, I suspect that will merely whet each man’s appetite for more. Of course, Rita, Heinrich and professional obligations may intervene to keep Gus and Rick apart. Right now, Rick is so happy, he could even sing. Or at least hum... thanks for reading!
-
Gus made the first move, but Rick followed his lead quickly enough. They circled each other quite a while. I’m happy to provide Rita/Heinrich warnings, though I may not be any better judge of their effects than the meteorologists are about snowfall. Thanks very much for reading!

Your celebratory comment made me smile! I hope it was worth the wait...

Or even the Fourth movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAyUzxDB9eE. Anyway, whatever music you choose, I'm very happy you thought it worthy of some glorious accompaniment. Thank you!
-
That's great. I love it.
-
Thank you for your comment! You may not be surprised that I did much the same after putting in the last exclamation point when I drafted the chapter.
-
I'm most grateful for your gentle correction to my spelling error, which was a glaring as a french horn coming in two measures too soon. I am glad you enjoyed the chapter, even so. Many thanks for reading and for your kindness.
-
You are most kind in your comments. It seemed like the perfect ending to a most perfect day. Rick will surely treasure it for a long time to come. My thanks to you for reading and for your thoughts.

My goodness, you sound almost like Marta. But you can hardly be blamed for that. Joey seems to be as much a force of nature as the stars. Never fear, that may be the first kiss Rick and Gus share, but it probably won't be the last - not if Rick has anything to say about it. Thank you so much for your response and for reading.
-
I loved this. I can only say that the next chapter is in the pipeline. Thank you for reading!

The stars out in the countryside shine more brilliantly than in town. And they shine equally on everyone. The brilliance of the day similarly shines on Gus and Rick, and they seem to give light to one another equally, too. I am glad these descriptions and snapshots touch strings within you to let you hear inner harmonies. Because Rick and Gus seem to be approaching one another as equals, they can learn more about one another, and delight in each other. I am very happy that you thought their kiss was perfect. I know that Rick will be remembering it for a very long time. Thank you for your observations and insights, and for reading Rick's story.

It's amazing what spending time with someone you like and respect can do for one's self-confidence. That kiss will remain with Rick for a very long time, perhaps long enough to help him through the next encounter with Heinrich Senior and Rita. Thank you very much for reading, and for your thoughts.
-
You may count on Rick finding his way back to Gus. After that kiss, he's going to be distracted for a long time. I'm sorry that the food descriptions have gotten your taste buds twitching, but at least this chapter's offerings were better than the dodgy bologna sandwiches from earlier. Alas, your observation about Heinrich and Rita-free chapters is all too likely. But at least Rick will have thoughts of Gus to make him smile. Thanks again for commenting and for reading!
-
I am so very glad you felt some of the magic too. Gus astonished Rick, but how lovely it was to know he felt the same way. Rick may have trouble driving home safely, as he will be dwelling on kissing Gus for a long while, I think. Thank you for reading, and for your response.
-
I know what you mean. :)
-
You put it just right. Because Rick and Gus are open to one another's lives, they experience some great things together. Thank you so very much for your thoughts and for reading this chapter in their story.

Rick peered forward in the darkness. He steered Caroline Lee’s Subaru homeward over the same back roads he had driven over earlier in the day. This time, he took the journey more carefully than before; deer were always a hazard, and he was tired. But it was a good kind of tired. From the moment he’d risen to this moment in the summer night, he’d worn a smile on his face, or so it seemed. Rick hadn’t felt so contented, so happy in years. Apart from the noise of the road and whine of the

That’s awfully nice of you to say. Thank you!
-
I’m very happy these words brought good memories to mind, even if they included icy pavements. I will be glad when the sun bares the walk again, even though my dancing will be no better for it. Thanks for reading!
-
Thanks for reading them. It makes me smile to know you enjoyed them.
-
It makes me happy to know you liked that line about whimsied drifts too. It bore speaking aloud once or twice, just for fun. As for the ice, that episode is about the only time I can recall that I was any good at dancing. My bruised backside and dignity are still recovering. Thank you for reading these!
-
I’m happy you grinned with me over that slip on the ice. I felt just like a cartoon character, complete with blurred legs in motion. The snow seems to show where underground streams run these days, telling me where the soft spots under my skis will be. It’s hard to believe it will all be green again soon. Thanks for reading!
