Once again, you feel so good about these people. Seeing them interact and get along so well is very enchanting. They like each other. There is no bad apple in the mix. You want to know people like them. The kids are great. Liebe's story of taking on a bully at school is fascinating. She is tough and rebounded. Thank God for the tape showing what really happened. Her parents handled the fallout well. CJ ,as Mayor, has complications which he handed well. The folks are having a enjoyable time and are able to readjust and decompress before the cruise. Interestingly, it was not a main topic of discussion. These people, though, are clearly going to not fit the prejudices of the yacht staff. Cesar and Owen should have happy birthdays BTW, nice to see a famous biker/writer from South Florida has a supporting role in helping out Liebe.

Interesting--- lots of misplaced assumptions and worries about the upcoming passengers based on past experiences with entitled rich or aggressive gay people and hyperactive, uncontrolled kids. The captain wants this cruise to be successful. The people on the yacht do not know the real people and I expect the crew will be pleasantly surprised at who the passengers really are. It will be a fun cruise and the passengers should be happy, active and very charming. They love life and each other and it will shine through.

Wow, Devlin has been found on his fishing boat by the owner of the Blue Seal yacht who has a strong interest in him. The fishing crew wants to tour the ship and Devlin arranges a tour that turns into a short pleasure cruise and dinner. Unbeknownst to Devlin, his gear is transferred to a high-quality cabin near the yacht owner's cabin, The owner says he wants to know Devlin better. What will Devlin do? Will he go along and stay? Will he leave and return to the fishing boat? The fishing boat owner needs him. Devlin must feel an obligation to him and also be upset at the effort to control him. The owner is serious about connecting with Devlin. What does he really want? Does he want an intimate personal relationship? Is Devlin open to the owner or is he worried about his mysterious intentions so far?

I hope you are willing to return to this story and finish it within a few weeks. I can see it might take two or more chapters to bring George home and get him and his entourage settled. Will he be kept ashore by Lord St Vincent's design to help him reform the inefficient, corrupt shipyards or some other serious task? George is fearful about what St Vincent will do since he is not happy with him giving up his ship to help Lord Daventry in Russia.

So that is a definite maybe--hmmmm When you learn something, we often are told to get back on the bike, trampoline, etc to grow and handle the activity with experience So, do you intend to put yourself in other situations where a zip line is present? If not, the issue is only theoretical and not worth worrying about.

What a great surprise. Armand and Colin are thinking of others as they plan for Christmas and their trip. They are very selfless. Colin shows Armand his Christmas gift to him after a drive to the city limits. It is a replacement and better home for the kids. He has been working on a plan for a new orphanage and it is coming together. It will be in a renovated and expanded barn. They have enough time to complete the project before the kids will lose their present space. Colin is adding the planning and supervision of the project. Armand is adding the funding and he has enough. Both are very happy. I expect Pat and the other staff and kids will like their new home.

I have been to McMinnville some years ago. It was a nice pleasant town surrounded by good vineyards and visited by people who like to enjoy wines. The town had maps of vineyards. Others just want to take a break while driving to the Oregon Coast to visit and have a better meal. It also has a decent sized private college, Linfield, that adds a good vibe. The town used to be far enough away from the Portland area that houses could be affordable. I do not know about housing prices now.

Garjah becomes committed to overthrowing what he now knows as the corrupt Kardoval. He wants Essell to be safe. Essell and crew hide among children on the surface away from the tunnels. Surprisingly, Bouncer and Ases let the children crawl over them and play with them. Bouncer fits in and seems to like the kids. Essell is told they are trusted because Garjah spoke for them and Garjah will always protect the people. Essell is amazed at the trust Garjah inspires.

Karl is back in England and walked to his base. He is very tired. Edgar found him and took him to the hospital. Karl felt so lonely that he left and walking found Kristian who made hi finally feel welcomed and much better. He helped him write a letter to the Hopkins. His tale of what happened to him will scare them. He was so lucky to have survived. But,he realizes he will have to go on another mission with two weeks. It is now his lot in life. Edgar said Arthur was worried about him. We might find out more about why Arthur was especially worried soon.

What a nice, festive holiday celebration. It was so unusual and beyond what the kids knew or had experienced that they had to be so happy. They met Santa and his elves. They will have stockings for Santa. I hope they can decipher each child's request as they talked to Santa. Maybe, Santa asked them their names as they met him so he could insure they got the right gift. Colin and Armand will not fail the kids

Devlin found a good home aboard the fishing boat this time. he is getting along with everyone and likes what he is doing--common deckhand, guiding the boat from the helm and cooking. He has even touched base with the police and his friends saying he is alive and well. Is trouble ahead? The boat is coming home, and the skipper has Devlin take the helm while he moves elsewhere. He has to watch out for shoals or rocks. Is this a duty for a new person?

I am suggesting the ghost is named Elias for his first or last name. He said he remembers an E The title of the story is Elias

Asher has a ghost attached to him based on the ring. He went to the stone with Kaelie intending to put the ring back but the ghost protested. He told Kaelie about the ghost who did not believe him at first, Now they are going to view the old gravestones in another cemetery with the ghost to see if he can find out who he is and maybe where he belongs, I am betting the search will not conclusively help the ghost. Things have not been simple so far. Maybe they will find some hints to help. The ghost does not know his name of why he is in the grave instead of the witch who is missing. Time to look at old records? Will the witch return?

Gary L Please feel free to finish the current book of George Granger. I expect Northern Exposure has two or so chapters to go. Mark Arbour is focusing on the Gap Year and it may take some time for him to return to Lord Granger at sea and finally at home.

BTW, the Mayor of New York is seeking to lease an unused cruise ship to house over 1000 migrants from the south who crossed the border and have been transported to his city. It will be very expensive and is causing a serious debate. Right now he is putting people in tents.

Everyone is fitting in and is very comfortable with each other. Mealtimes with good food are very pleasant bonding events, Colin thinks the orphanage will lose and have to move. The law is not on its side. Only public opinion can change to governments position. He suggested that he and Armand buy a boat to house the kids and staff. I wonder if this is practical. Armand has been charmed by his painting of the girl. He made a stunning frame for it. Finally, he rushed the painting to the gallery to get it out of his mind. Colin thinks the painting belongs in a museum. It is that impressive.

Karl seems to be in a dream like state thinking about his past friends and relationships. He has been saved by someone connected to his past and is now on a ship of some sort that is willing to take him to England. He will have 3-4 weeks to think more about his friends. Let us hope he does not become depressed. Bad things keep happening to him. He deserves a break.

What a realistic, wonderful child birth experience. You felt right there and their reactions felt so honest and natural. I am surprised at a natural child birth--but it fits the mother and the area. The boys are so proud and accepting and in love. Maeve and Maci will have great fathers. No second guessing. They know they have daughters forever--even if Loe does not want to change poopy diapers--yet. "There are moments in life when you know, in the marrow of your bones, that you did something right. I can’t pinpoint exactly what decision changed the trajectory of my life. Giving Jay the time of day seems like a start. Letting myself fall for him? A definite possibility. Letting go of my past and saying yes to this future? Absolutely. I watch as the second baby flops into Jay’s giant hands, her arms outstretched as she embraces her new freedom. He stares at her in complete awe and wonder. How could anything be so amazingly perfect? He doesn’t take his eyes off her, even as the nurses clamp her cord and suck the goop from her airways. When her first cry erupts, Jay looks at me with tears in his eyes. Every moment I said yes to Jay — everything we did that led us to this moment — that is the marrow in my bones."

Devlin left because he could not stay in a hostile environment and Jack, his bully, could not be punished or fired. Jack was needed more than Devlin. He made friends which are missing him. His travels brought him to the coast and a skipper of an undermanned fishing boat asked Devlin to work for him. He lucked into a job. I hope it is a better workplace. Devlin will have to work hard since the fishing boat does not have a full crew.

Lady Terik is joining with Vincent--it is a mutual endeavor--She has not explained her plan but has started it with Vincent. They must be handling Stefan together. We are going to find out soon. “I agree,” Yir said lowly. “What plot have you crafted?” When Terik didn’t answer, Vincent worried. What the hell’s going on? He panicked as the pink wisps floated toward him. “Terik, what is this?” The black went to her. “My spell. It’ll activate when we join hands.” “S-sister!” Aliz gasped. Everyone turned to face her. The gray orb was now fluctuating between white and black. “What have you done? Undo this. Now!” “Can’t.”

For those who hate or do not hate Zach, pay attention please to how he handles the news that will come out this week or next, that Travis is seeing--as in really seeing Will. They will in heat, I bet and covering new passionate ground. What Will Zach Do? WWZD Is he going to explode, burn bridges for at least the near term, take it out verbally or physically on one or both guys, go to Stef (who is in LA often) , find a new fuck boy, avoid the two lovers until he cannot?

Please as Vincent fights Stefan--do not let Stefan get away and be so strong he can continue to bedevil Vincent and Mason. Why not remove his powers since he has done so many bad things and killed too many souls? Trick him to become mortal, Lady Terik and make it his blunder. Also, please do not let Yakob come back as a son for Vincent and Mason. He will be a too skilled, very powerful holly terror for the alphas..

The teams should be prepared for different rescue situations. I hope Sebastian will review his protocol and make adjustments for future operations. Like Daddydavek suggested not all rescues will be calm and not all hybrids will be peaceful. A tranquilizer gun or taser might be useful. Think about violent or acting out hybrids requiring chains, muzzles, first aid help, strong soap, etc.

Konstantin and Kavan won against the odds. They risked death. Konstantine very early grew back his fangs. With help he was able to properly initiate his childe which the head vampire opposed. Kavan is now trained to draw blood and be a full vampire. So far, no one knows of the deception. It pays to have good friends.

I think the danger element in future retrievals has really gone up. It seems Elijah and Tyler have secured the first live hybrid, but have found enough evidence to have two owners killed. Notice of the buyers being killed might begin to raise suspicions with Huntington's operation. Both guys who bought hybrids move in bad circles so a death or two might seem OK. More being killed would really push Huntington to investigate what is going on.
