While I’m glad Toby & Noah will benefit from the perks of this new client, I’m not thrilled with Russ Kahn pursuing Brian & Gordon, collectively or individually. I'm glad that if there is extra activity Brian and Gordon do it together but I far prefer them as a monogamous couple.

Excellent comment. ☺️

Me too, lol.

This was another delightful chapter. 😊 Overall, Toby’s science fair was a hit, It’s understandable that Toby would miss his mother’s presence but he was well (and more positively) represented by grandparents, as well as Brian and Gordon….the commendation, while not one of the cash prizes, still spoke to the prestige of Toby & his classmate’s efforts. While Elsie and Nina seemed amenable to Toby’s family life, their parents clearly weren’t, this speaks to hope for the future & a clear example that the way one's parents think doesn’t automatically dictate their own beliefs….Toby seemed to be treated well at the homes of his project mates, (which is something) but he shouldn’t have had to borne discrimination against his parents (a situation which he handled with great maturity). “Gordon had a quick flashback to his own childhood when they’d looked equally out of place on school visits. And just as unaware, or more accurately perhaps, uncaring of the effect they caused. They were just themselves, Gordon smiled.” Gordon’s reminiscence about his parents was endearing, he appreciated their support as a child, even if they didn’t blend in (or perhaps in spite of it) just as he appreciates their support of Toby, which is proved more genuine all the time, as evidenced by their wanting him to catch the bus to stay with them after school or on weekends….Gordon himself showed the shrewdness of a parent, noting whom they should further engage with that Brian was oblivious to, lol. Kudos as well to Ms. Vincent, who seems a dedicated, fair minded educator. In just a few short months, Toby’s life has improved exponentially, which he deserves.

Oh yeah, I forgot about “there”….checking to see if I can detect a pulse now….thumbless, of course 😁😉

When I read this passage, I thought about the thumb thing too, lol. I wasn’t told about that right away and had to learn the hard way, lol. Pulse taking is an art-I know of the wrists and the neck (which I still to this day fumble around with)…. I think there are other parts of body to get a beat, besides the heart of course, lol.

One of mutual respect and the shared experience of “being made the same way”, as well as loving/having loved the same man. They could be friends….only friends.

Sadly as evidenced by history….guess that’s why those same people don’t want education amongst the masses, heaven forfend someone develops their own opinions or ideas. 🫢

When that carnal sustenance is good, Hooo Weee can it sustain for a good while, lol.

I think his Pa made him realize that not all “God-fearing folk” exhibit Christian values and that one’s relationship with the Lord is personal.

Seems he knows something about how Lucas feels about Jubal, too: “You get back to holding his hand and giving him comfort. I know for a fact he’d be happy knowing you be the one here with him.” “It’s enough to know you’re sitting with him—this ain’t about me, and you’re what’s best for him right now“

Heartbeat. LubDub….LubDub In civilizations ancient and modern, it remains proof of life. It is our first and the most ancient of lullabies, as we grow under the heartbeats of our mothers….it is the background noise of life, the soundtrack of choice for those who are loved, noticed only in its absence. As Jubal sits by Lucas’ bedside, he doesn’t have the beeps and whoosh of machines to confirm the status of his condition….all he has is the steady beat of a pulse….in a hand that he holds….the life force that is giving him life right now. Heartbeat. LubDub….LubDub….

See?!?! LMAO

Thank you for the endorsement but I think the president of this fan club wouldn’t consider me as I’m not as fervently dedicated as she & @84Mags. Suck it’s kinda harsh & I’ve been in a dry spell….stretching jaw muscles & clearing throat.

Thankful that Corbin survived the obvious arson attempt on his life, maybe Boots can get a special rib eye once a month for the rest of his life for his good deed? ☺️ Caleb and Asa joining Giles’ pack made sense before now, the destruction of Corbin’s home only highlights the necessity of it; Corbin being accorded the rare distinction of pack membership is deserved and also imperative to his safety. There have now been two murder attempts in Texas-Caleb and Corbin….is one entity responsible for both or are they coincidences? (the older I get, the less I believe in those, lol). Is He Bitch the responsible party, if they aren’t “coincidences”? Wolfpacks are on constant guard from numerous threats, could an unscrupulous land baron not covet Corbin’s property in addition to wanting a lupine pelt in front of his fireplace? 🤷‍♀️ I guess time will tell. “The boys are home and everything is calm. Hehehe.” I can’t even call this a red herring because any long time reader of your stories @kbois knows better, 😂 A Happy Veteran’s Day to any veteran and/or their loved ones reading this today. Freedom isn’t free and your service and sacrifice are appreciated beyond the capacity words have to express….I will make do with thank you.

No Gibbs’ here, lol….it’s all love. Them two He Kittys probably are hiding together.

I like how they make love out of nothing at all. 😉😁

I’m curious how Caleb sensed something was wrong in Texas at all. Does his “matey thing” coupled with his alphaness give him special spidey senses? Would he have sensed trouble while he was in Montana or is this further indication of where his heart/home truly is now?

This should’ve been Scar, lol.

I worried that Asa would tinker around in their mental synapses and it would be too much but he did enough to facilitate their reception to mental recovery. Air Supply (and all 70’s soft rock) is awesome, lol.

This was genius!!

Caleb would be destroyed if something happened to Vann, especially if it’s before he discloses he’s his father. He betrayed his pack to protect his son, who knows what would be unleashed in Caleb if that mangy He Bitch takes Vann. This brings up a question: was all the hybrid hoodoo destroyed or would Skeletor Kitty have knowledge of it?

Somehow, think you’re holding back….LMAO!!

It was a relief to see the successful healing of the hybrid pups balanced by Asa’s managing not to over exert himself in the process. Once an alpha, always an alpha….Caleb may no longer bear the title but his leadership skills still showed in the suggestions he made regarding their future shopping trips and the respect Sebastian gives him as a peer….the only loose end for Caleb at this point is Vann, hopefully he reveals his relationship to him before any action on the He Bitch front. “Someone torched Corbin’s ranch. Everything went up in flames.” Everything and everyone???? 🥺 Corbin’s things can be replaced, Corbin cannot….hope he’s being comforted next chapter and not mourned. 🤞
