Fuck Luna. However else this ends up, Peter is better off without her. To all of them could be said: “be careful what you wish for”….

My condolences on your loss. May the wings no longer by your side gently shelter your heart as you grieve.

My sympathies on your season of grief.

My deepest condolences on your loss.

If I’m reading this correctly, Robbie (or you?) was inspired by a new release that he was hoping would fit Mark more and adjusted the lyrics accordingly. The YouTube wouldn’t open here (apparently it’s not available in the U. S.) but I liked the lyrics: J'veux avoir le rêve comme employeur [I want dreams to be my employer] Un contrat indéterminé [An open-ended contract] I found these lines dreamily evocative. At times it seemed like a dialogue between two people but the feeling for independence and doing things their way is clear. Thank you for sharing. Merci.

I don't know why in the last chapter I thought of Robbie and Erik together.

There’s more than one way to as Ralph Kramden said “core a apple”, lol. I’d have tried via other sources, like friends or family. If Owen was crotch watching on the vlogs he has no doubt unfollowed now, maybe an outline might have looked familiar? 🤔 🤷‍♀️

Ummm, I would have asked to see pics of the ex, lol. Life is so twisty and turny and to quote Forrest Gump’s Mama, ‘like a box of chocolates….you never know what you’re gonna get’; forewarned is forearmed. I think I’d need to know if my new beau mentioned the impact this person had on them.

Time. ➡️💨

Will read after five minutes in the Korner….

Good question.

Perfectly said, as usual. LOL.

“Yep, there’s lots to explore with you.” There is lots to explore between these two young men who love each other and are at the start of their lives together: the full topography of their land and their bodies. "Lord above, how did he deserve such good fortune? Brewster Falkner was a man what did things right the first time, and he had no doubt it was him what built that quality house perched on the hill with a view in every direction." Brewster Falkner was a man of quality, born and bred, and that defies the amount of zeros in one’s bank account. Though denied his inheritance, Albert Cooley was also born into financial comfort, yet the quality he shows is like putting lipstick on a pig. Brewster’s native quality is reflected in how he lived, as quality lasts. I am partial to Boone, Coy and the Eden that you made Larkspur out to be....to watch those intrepid young lovers go forth to make their lives and fortune on land they were breaking in together was part of the appeal to their journey....there is something to be said, however, for being the recipient of a well tended bequest, LOL!! Because of what was started by his grandfather and maintained by his grandmother, August, his husband, and their friends, are well and truly sitting in the clover. ☺️ How sad it is that August accurately reflected that his father would likely have forbidden him from claiming what was left for him if he knew he would be in a prosperous state....seems all Albert Cooley was good for was depositing sperm, as he is no true father, at all. "Didn’t see no snakes or holes, but I did see a whole bunch of potato plants on the other side of the fence at the north end.” Is there such a thing as wild potatoes? I was surprised that Fletcher found 'a whole bunch'; they seem very hardy, which speaks to how bad things must have gotten during the famine. “Named him Jackson at his birth, but Jack is easier. He’s named for the place my ma was born, back when she was owned.” Though you typically deliberately leave out location and timeframes in your historical Westerns, this comment gives me reason to believe it is post civil war (though slaves were freed during slavery times for different reasons). Runyan and Willy James have declared themselves a permanent part of Barnswallow (after being assured they are welcome), and both couples are already planning other endeavors to add on to their riches, like horse breeding....that Jack will be "doing all the work" is not something I think Jack will mind at all, lol!! Though no doubt filled with hard work, it will be pleasurable to watch this quartet settle into their new normal, now that everyone is present and accounted for; they are still discovering just how much they have versus how much they can still do....there are so many possibilities. Is it springtime yet? (joking) How are things faring for the new Mrs. Cooley? When will the Crawleys come to visit? Find out in the next installment of "Roping the Moon" 📿🌕 🍻

I agree with you, the fact Troy has never mentioned Miles once in all the years he and Owen have been together, speaks to the hold Miles still has on him….or has he @kbois? I know Troy treated the painting inspired by Miles as radioactive and he was uncharacteristically snappish at Owen for even mentioning it being displayed in their new home-might Owen know there was someone once, but not the name or the details? Honestly, when Owen mentioned the name of the vlog, I’m surprised Troy’s spidey senses didn’t tingle….there are certain names that get a jolt out of me, even if it’s not in direct reference to the person that created the jolt.

A lot of people are married to runner up’s….sometimes first place in one’s heart may mean the only one who can wound you in the way you don’t recover from; Miles almost destroyed Troy once, will he open himself up to the possibility of that kind of pain again? Troy’s guaranteed love and safety with Owen. Personally, I’m rooting for the two of them to reconcile….properly, of course. 🤞 🙏
