Well, I don't know the answer to that one... But boy, I enjoy when readers are enjoying themselves! And about them needing an interpreter... then all would be clear, and where will the fun be? Amirite?
'normal abnormal happy self' must be the best way to describe Rusty! And I'm happy that you like Hannah! I really wanted a good gf for Ray! He totally deserves having a great relationship! And a bestie, of course!
Rusty's book will follow when this one's finished. Since I love him so much, this idea has taken shape stronger and stronger in my mind. But there will also be some more of him in this one, as well!
You're right about how things are progressing right now. Maddox, after all, was known as a hookup master, even to his friends. And I believe Rusty's insecurities might come as a bit of surprise... but that's only because I know his background, while the readers don't.
That's the perk of youth, I guess! It must be so easy to still believe you're always right. Living with doubt is what you get for growing older, I guess.
Oh, I'm so so sorry that I missed this comment when you posted it. I hope you're doing fine now and that your back is much better. I'm happy to hear that my story offers you so much fun!
Maddox is, actually, strategizing - in his mind - lol! He thinks that he needs to play cool so that he could reel Jonathan in. Of course, little does he know about all the things swirling in Jonathan's brain...
He-he, sexy gif! Well, when it comes to my stories, readers really must suspend their disbelief to enjoy them, I think! Compared to other stories I wrote, I really think this one's more realistic and also a lot tamer, lol!
They're at that point where they're still very much strangers. Also, the horniness they feel might not let them think clearly, hence all the miscommunication. Or lack of any that matters. They have to turn to friends, yes, I completely agree.
Rusty is the master of awesome lines... he basically lives for them. I'm not going to comment on your guesses about the secret message... but I will say, oh, lol, about the blindfold. I haven't thought of that!
Well, I hope the new chapter... won't cause a bit of indigestion! As for the five words, they'll emerge at a very opportune moment! And here's hoping for the heat wave to end!
