Don't think I didn't notice how you were silent about Loz in your comment, he, he. Could it be that he isn't behind that? But no, who else? I need to correct this hoping attitude towards that a-hole, clearly.

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed Box Shaped Heart and that you found yourself in the character. I had my fears when I started the story that he might not be easy to understand and that I won't able to convey through words all that I wanted so that I could present him in the light he deserved. But replies like yours and the lady's who commented just earlier truly make me feel that I managed to do the character justice, despite all my fears. Don't worry about sounding awkward in English, as I must sound the same since I'm not a Native English speaker, either (so you sound perfectly okay to me). Imagine that extra challenge when writing someone as complex as Carter, he, he. And I will return with new stories, which I hope you will enjoy, although they will be different (I tend to try different things, as they come to me).

Thank you so much for reading my story and taking the time to comment. I am glad to hear that your son receives the help and support he needs and deserves. Carter will always be a special character for me, and I think my affection for him and the internal place he came from made him so relatable for readers. I wish you and your family all the best! And again, thank you!

Amy could pull the fairy godmother look, I'm sure. Glad Danny is surrounded by friends. Damn, did Loz just play it cool to avoid anyone suspecting him? That cannot last. Something's gotta give.

Thank you for being so supportive all the way! Hugs!

Hey, thank you for your support! Also, for the very lovely review you left for my story. I am really so grateful for it. And, of course, I hope you will continue to enjoy my works! Hugs!

And now, ta-da, the glorious finale and the glorious comment I've been waiting for, lol! Hey, sometimes strategies do work. Not all the time, but sometimes! Has to count for something. I believe Carter would play along if Aron initiated that kind of cop play, he, he. And he wouldn't mind being in a closet, or a bedroom, or wherever ... About Freddie's mom ... gosh, I messed up and obviously I don't know how to English. In that phrase, what I meant was a reference to Carter's mom and her - almost - heart attack from that time when Carter had gotten up in the tree. But I love your theory and hate myself for not thinking about it. It would have been so nice! And, now for the end, for real, I want to thank you from all my heart for reading this, and entertaining me with so funny comments. Thank you for all your kind words! Until we meet again, Hugs!

Ah, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the entire story. I hope to see you later, too! (And you can check my other long story here, in case you haven't - it's different than this one, but who knows, you might enjoy it)

He, hey, glad to see you again As always, your comments put a big smile on my face. I agree on ponytail girl, sigh. I hope Carter doesn't score negative points for saving Alex, lol! That would be something! Luckily for everyone, the powers that be are willing to let this one slide, ha, ha. Ah, so happy someone noticed the backward love confession - hey, this story wouldn't be about Carter if the love confession was not upside down, too. As for the gay cake ... he, he, for some reason, now I can only think of eclairs. And I should keep my weight in check! I know you can't forgive Alex, lol. Be free to choose the option that works best for you, then. Although it was the guardian angel. And his name wasn't Harvey, lol! (I have a feeling I'm losing some reference here ...) So, you took one of Mark's mints after all? He, he, the boy is just doing his best. So, so glad you liked the ending of the chapter! I was so aiming for that tea party effect, lol! Glad you stuck with me on this crazy journey! (And now I'm off to reply to your last comment!)

Ah, thank you so so much! For all the reactions! I'm so glad you liked the story, and especially the last line! I thought so much over how to end it until I realized there could be no better ending line than this. Hugs!

Thank you so much for your nice words! And I'm glad you enjoyed the ending, too. Hey, if readers find this story worth re-reading, that really makes my day!

I think Michael enjoyed his birthday breakfast very much. Also, Amy, wow! Nothing gets unnoticed by those clever eyes!

O. M. G. Loz, you f-ing idiot! I hope Michael finds out soon! I hope Loz realizes what he's doing is terrible and inhuman!

Ah, damn ... I was stupidly hoping Loz hadn't raped Daniel that day. I thought he had only beaten Danny. Although Michael suspected it, and there were clear signs of the abuse ... My heart weeps, although not for Loz. There are some lines you cannot cross. I'm not one to say whether some people deserve or not a second chance, but I have a tough time finding room for any forgiveness for Loz. But I am looking forward to all your plans for this character.

(Wipes sweat off forehead) At least, Danny didn't get hurt this chapter. I like Michael more and more. And his sister seems a great girl. At least he has someone to confide in.

Oh, my poor baby ... Loz is now scared and jealous, and he's taking it all out on Danny ... I have a feeling things will get even worse. But the 'dumbphone' comment made me smile. Nokia used to make pretty solid phones. I still have one of those dumbphones they made more than a decade ago. Danny should hold on to that little treasure, lol. That's just me trying to make a little light of quite a heavy chapter. Thank you for this story, Thorn!

Thank you, Thorn! You've been an awesome reader! Hugs!

Amazon KU became a cesspool of scams most likely when they decided to pay the authors on the number of pages read, which meant longer books could generate more money. So no surprise that there were 1k pages books suddenly available, in which most pages weren't even related to the topic of the book anymore. At least that's what I heard. I can't even imagine how anyone from Amazon could believe those would be legit books. But there's no curation and this is how such things happen.

Thank you for this very positive and full of energy post! About Smashwords and their formatting, what I did notice I was doing wrong was not using page break correctly after each chapter. After I figured that one out, I solved the issue with them rejecting my document. I hope this helps others!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad that you liked it! Endings are still so hard to write, and it's a real challenge to do so. The kids are biological, thanks for asking! And I guess you noticed how much Freddie is like Carter. Deidre is going to be a beauty, taking after Aron. Thank you so much for being here for me, chapter after chapter! Any trip is best with friends on board! Hugs, Laura.

He, he, did I say that? Sadly, there will be no spin-off. Thank you for reading my story!

Thank you for being with me on this journey!

Ha, ha, my dear, I think you might just be right about the role reversal! Thank you for being with me on this ride! See ya!

Ah, Wes, I feel you, man, I do ... I'm going to miss them, too
