    Chapter 4

    I was also surprised to see the time at which it has appeared. However, it went down well accompanied by a croissant and a glass of orange juice. 🙂 Giacomo is so much more certain of himself than Dani. He is going to have to slow down and allow Dani time to adjust to the enormity of the possibilities. As for sharing a bed, has Dani asked his parents yet - not that I think they'll have any objections - but I feel he'll have trouble even asking the question.

    So intense... Daniele is only 14 and not exactly worldly wise. Giacomo may be the same age, but his life has been very different to Dani's. I think this has simply come too soon for Dani to handle. Are we going to see Marco as the bridge builder I wonder?

    Chapter 2

    At present Dani's triangle could be said to be equilateral but moving toward isosceles. At some point this summer though it is likely to become scalene.

    Chapter 2

    Thus far Dani seems stirred rather than shaken.

    I fear that would be a story of limited a peel. 🙂 (where's that groan emoji?)

    Chapter 1

    @James Carnarvon Actually, it's just a story about selling pastries. Each chapter will devote 6,000 words to the next variety.😉 -------- That sounds like a recipe for success!

    Chapter 1

    The birthday 'party' on the beach was a neat way to reintroduce us to all the major characters. Now Dani is looking forward to the summer holiday of his 14th year, while we, the readers, are looking forward to finding out what it holds in store for him - other than selling pastries.🙂

    Prologue

    'To sleep perchance to dream'.
  9. Hopefully Ben is beginning to realise the worst is truly behind him and that a much brighter future with friends beckons. There will probably be a few bumps along the road though...🙂

    Chapter 31

    But those apart you seem to be enjoying the story.🙂

    You're bats! (an English funny)

    Chapter 4

    I'm sure he'd have been a hit for me. 🙂

    That was before someone grassed him up. 🙂

    Chapter 2

    I've heard of jokes getting a delayed reaction, but at over 3 years this must surely be some sort of record? As the pistol had been in the refrigerator I referenced Magnum meaning the choc ice on a stick, which I also suspected - perhaps erroneously - would not be known outside of the UK.

    As long as you don't have Great Expectations, Oliver.😉

    Chap 1

    I'm actually British and although there has been a decrease in those who identify as Christian, we don't seem to suffer that much with Christian fundamentalists and the like.

    Chap 1

    The profile pic has always been the same. Just thought it was cute. Thanks for the comments, glad you 'enjoyed'. The sect does believe in polygamy, but not sure how they view adultery. It may well depend on your position in the hierarchy... I too am puzzled as to how people can be taken in by such superstitious beliefs and make believe nonsense, but it does happen, probably more so in some countries than others.

    I hadn't realized that, but it wasn't meant to be them.

    Chap 1

    Ain't that the truth!😀

    Chap 1

    I share your views @Daddydavek Getting away from them is rarely easy.

    Chap 1

    It's not based on an actual group, but rather an amalgam of those I've read about. Definitely not Amish beauce I'm sure they don't live in Oregon.

    Chap 1

    No promises as it is still very much 'In Process'.

    Chap 1

    Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Hopefully there will be more to follow. Thanks for commenting.

    Chap 1

    Everything is sinful in the eye of certain beholders.

    Chap 1

    Glad you did. I suspect a loss of followers is seen as a loss of face, not to mention the fear of the trickle, becoming a stream etc.
