It's quite a ride!! hehe

That's what's hard for Marcus to understand: why Andy can't be gay and Catholic at the same time. To Marcus, those things aren't mutually exclusive, but he isn't considering that Andy isn't just Catholic, he's a priest! But Marcus is a little hot tempered, so he tends to react before he thinks.
-
Thanks!!! And nope, you're not being too harsh at all. Andy does need to man up, and Marcus needs a little more patience. This love this isn't easy!
-
Marcus has kind of been put through a wringer with Andy being hot and cold, hot and cold. I suspect Marcus was at his end and the rejection just pushed him over...

I felt terrible for torturing them this long!! But there is more in store, more good stuff
-
Yep! I think these boys have been tortured enough, hehe
-
They will!! Promise!!
-
So many yikes!!!
-
Definitely not easy! But things will turn around for these two.
-
Haha, yeah, definitely not what mom meant. I feel like Marcus gets a chance to be the asshole this time around.

Marcus was early to brunch. He sat in the corner with his sunglasses on and drained his Bellini. The waiter couldn’t refill it fast enough. He felt like shit; he knew he looked like shit. Not sleeping for a couple of nights would do that. But Marcus didn’t care anymore; Andy had left him. “You’re here early.” Cheryl slipped into the other seat. “You’re never early. What’s wrong?” “Nothing,” Marcus said. “I just couldn’t sleep. Had nothing else to do.” Cheryl frowned at him. She d

I didn't come across any first person writing until recently, so it always takes me a couple of pages to get used to that POV. I default to third person, but I have done a couple of short stories in first person that were fun to write. I may explore using first person for longer pieces some day. I've heard that the use of first person grew in popularity with the rise of young adult books. I don't know if this is true or not, but most of the YA books I've come across are written in first person. I think the argument was that many young adult and new adult books are about characters who are still finding their footing in life and as adults, so using first person helps make that experience more visceral for the reader. -
Yes, Andy really does need to talk to someone. And he will! Just not yet
-
You are so right!! I think a lot of people have difficulty separating the institution of religion and personal faith. They're different things! That's something Andy has to learn. Thanks again for reading!!!
-
It does! I promise!
-
Thank you so much!!!
-
It definitely hurt to write it. The whole story was an emotional roller coaster to write, for sure!
-
Aw, thanks so much! It lifts my spirits to know that you enjoy it so much
-
It's fun making people suffer!!! I'm evil that way. Mwahahahaha!
-
Good question... will he?!?! *dun dun dun*
-
He will. He's a little too stubborn for his own good, but he'll get there! Promise!

Andy ran his hands over the worn black leather of the Liturgy of Hours. The words in it were sacred and holy; they were prayers he had prayed every day of his life. During the past several months, though, Andy knew he had been praying them in a state of sin and with an unclean heart. The prayers were tainted by his inability to resist temptation; he had blasphemed the sanctity of the prayers. The gravity of what he had done weighed heavily on Andy’s shoulders. He had made a mockery of the

Very good point!!! At least my subconscious knew what it was doing!!

Hahaha, yes, I did realize the irony of that only after I replied to the comment. Apparently I've been posting every Sunday morning completely obviously

Yes! Every Sunday morning
