I’m sad that this story is over (for now). As always Geron thank you for sharing your exquisite thoughts.

While Grant was cooking the thighs he thinks " Gavin would have a heart attack" are we about to learn more about Grant's history since we know a lot about Troy's.

The start to this story is heartbreaking. Knowing how proud Troy is, his returning to this house and doing work outside in view of those who shared his life with John will increase Troy's misery. Troy probably knows this but Grant I am surely hasn't considered the angst he is causing. Unfortunately when one tries to help one doesn't consider all the effects and compounds the problem instead of alleviating it. Wade, as I have read this previously I have to say that you and other authors, editors and Beta Readers of serial works that respond to comments and not disclose plot lines and twists is impressive as I read your replies. In the stories of yours that I have finished ( except Silverwolf) I knew that there would be a "happily ever after" and enjoy the obstacles that you place in the path of your protagonists. This knowledge is what allows me to continue to follow your writing as there is enough black in reality that I prefer not to have it in my decompressing entertainment.

very much enjoying this but after your burst of posts since Xmas eve with a bum computer did you get it repaired before this episode?

Wayne, having enjoyed your first posting of this story on TSL, I wanted to commend your revisions to it. Though I didn't reread that version, my recollection is that this edition is fuller, more colorful and deeper. Its like going from a standard def TV to a high def one. I would also like to say that I appreciate that you complete your stories prior to posting and then set to a general schedule. I will continue to follow your writings as diverse as they are.

A reason to enjoy holidays is Geron Kees sharing an adventure of Kip, Charlie and the gang . I now know what I"ll be reading every 8 hours or so till Halloween!!

For an author who doesn’t have English as your primary language you write spectacularly. I was impressed with the turn of phrase you used to describe Kai’s face when Ryan told him that he wasn’t a friend. “As his happy face disappears like snow in the sun.” That Kai was family.

I too am glad that you are writing again and look forward to the adventures that you will allow us to join as this tale continues.

Enjoyed this story the first time last spring on Nifty, even better the second time around, As a car guy who went to high school in the late 70's in the Hudson valley I was reminiscing with this story of the importance of the car in our culture of the times. As you said the first chapters revolved around the car to setup the relationship between the characters but I saw this as setting the back ground. You said that we are different people in the Fall from who we were in Spring and so I look forward to the new story, to see what changes are in store from you.
