Well noticed, my dear godmother! Alex has his reasons, or at least he thinks he does, but I totally agree with you. That still wouldn't justify the way he behaves. But thank you for catching that!

Thank you for another great comment! Yes, Alex is difficult to figure out, indeed. All we have is some second-hand knowledge from others. And when someone is so difficult to understand from others' POV, that might mean that the person is careful not to let himself be figured out, most of the time. Everyone will know the answer to that question.

Hmm, big, big question, right? It definitely looks like Carter has managed to dig himself an even bigger rabbit hole! Thank you, dear godmother, for all your trust in me!

Yeah, that's pretty much what Carter hasn't really thought about it. But hey, he is busy keeping Aron happy!

Ha, ha, hey, we all know Carter very well by now. He is all about easing men's pain ... or their desire for it! Alex might not hear, being not present and all, but the truth is he might not listen even if he was present, he, he. "You are not a nice person!" - You are being kind, lol! Of course, David wouldn't be so kind. And he might just be the best person to straighten up the little diva. As for the fashion statement ... I ... just ... cannot! Yeap, if Carter doesn't change Alex - and that's beyond his control - that marriage won't benefit that much from all the help. Hell, I'm counting on it (author slowly moves away, rubbing her hands in glee and with some kind of evil laughter in the background that somehow doesn't match the lipsynch). No, no, nothing could go wrong ... director, please, make it roll! :)) Thanks for another fun comment!

Thank you for keeping up with the story! And any reaction matters, even if there are no words involved!

Ah, ah, I know that effect is totally natural from readers, so why am I feeling a little guilty here? I might have to have a convo with my own brain like Carter! Thank you for commenting! (Also for finding my story amusing!)

Ha, ha, I swear I don't hate my characters! Of course, you'll have to take my word for it. Yes, Aron is true to his heart, and there has always been someone there, which is why he felt so guilty toward his real husband. And yeah, there will be some suffering, but it's all for a good cause, I swear! Thank you for the comment!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting! Well, I will do my best to solve the situation! And if I succeed, you, and all the other readers, will let me know if I do it right! Hugs!

Thank you, Wes, that's a beautiful response.

Sleeping next to Aron was the best thing ever. Especially since the guy now had a signature way of waking him up, with slow kisses and caresses. “Hey,” he smirked, as he stretched like a cat into the man’s arms. “Hey back,” Aron chuckled. “I hate not being able to cuddle some more, but I need to go to work early. They’re sending someone over from New Entertainment, to ask us about a new motivational book we publish. Apparently, these guys like to wake up with the chickens.” “Why do y

Hey there, thank you for taking the time to comment. A lot of things still need to happen and the story will move forward. But Carter has some things to put right first, so there will still be some 'adventure time' in Wonderland before that happens. And with that, I hope I didn't put you off the story

Oh, trust me, Mark would know to get Carter corrected before managing to get a word out in that direction. Since the guy can change e-mail texts, who's to say that he would not be able to make completely other words out of Carter's mouth, the moment Carter would try to sneak his way around like that? I have a feeling people will end up hating me a little for not following certain possible threads. But I hope everything will fall into place correctly. Until then, I wish you will continue to enjoy the story as it comes out of my neurons.

Carter might have a tendency to shoot himself in the foot, unfortunately. We know what happened at the wedding, and then not speaking to Aron for two whole years ... And now he's trying to make things better, yet somehow he goes a little full circle. Don't worry about the guys If Carter wakes up in his own body ... but let's cross that bridge when it happens. The confession cannot happen since someone armed with a taser is ready to warn Carter not to talk about the body swap. Oh, it would all be easier, but when are things easier? (Especially in fiction). Thank you for your comment! It's much appreciated!

Ha, ha, Carter wishes to know how to turn off the internal dialogue, but he just seems incapable of doing that, and, yeah, even during the hottest moments. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks a lot! I like to believe that the next chapters will be even more exciting!

He, he, thanks, Wes! And OMG, that avatar is so friggin' cute! Like the cutest thing ever!

Ah, my dear godmother. Aron does think that, it is true. He has his parents' golden example in front of his eyes and has ever had. Also, it might not be very clear, but Aron is pretty much a perfectionist, and if he wanted to convince himself that he must be the perfect husband, that is what he did. Plus, he has a little guilt inside him related to a certain someone (and by this, I think you know what I mean; and even if I continue to be difficult to read, ha, ha, Aron will just say it in his own words at one moment). You're onto something here. I won't say what. But I'm also counting on it. Ha, ha, I'm evil like that. As for David, glad you think he's right. That man doesn't have Aron's inner struggles to worry about, so it is easy for him to see the truth. As for that last line ... I hope when that happens, you will savor that entire scene! Many hugs, Laura.

Ah, your observations are completely correct. Carter is too good a guy not to realize that even if he enjoys spending his time with Aron like this, while in Alex's body, it is all, after all, just a sham. And that's the sense of unfulfillment you're noticing there. Thanks for doing that! It's a true reward for the writer to hear from readers how they noticed all the little things. Cheers!

Chapter Twenty – The Fixer-Upper He almost felt tempted to walk through the door and yell ‘honey, I’m home’, but somehow he wanted to take Aron by surprise. No such luck, though, as the guy was expecting him, his arms crossed over his chest and a stony look on his face. “So, what do you want to tell me?” Aron spoke first. “What? No smooches?” Carter opened his arms wide and walked towards Aron. Apparently, the guy was not in the mood for his shenanigans. “Where have you been

Ha, ha, I had to google that! It's confirmed! But strong helmet sounds better! So you should hold your ground in front of your friends!

Rumor has it that Bram Stoker got his inspiration mostly from some stories circulating about Vlad that had been invented mostly by the German merchants who weren't crazy about the measures that the ruler wanted to take to limit their privileges. So it was all about the money, ha! I suppose he was as ruthless as others during those dark times. Thank you for the info on the name! I knew it came from 'laurel', from which the leaves were used for those Roman wreaths, so I had an idea what it means. Fun fact: in my language, it's pronounced La-u-ra, not Lora, as it would be said in English.

I have too light hair and skin to be a gypsy. As for Vlad Tepes, well, he used to be my favorite medieval ruler when I was little, but otherwise, no close relations :)) The nickname was chosen a long time ago - several years - and based on the idea to be 'something easy to remember'. Plus, I could not have used my real name due to lack of certain letters in the regular alphabet used normally online, outside the borders of my country. Laura is, nonetheless, my name.

Thank you for the suggestions! As for Aron being there ... Maybe it was not the best place to go, but at least that's where he could find a friend to talk. So maybe it was more a coincidence, nothing else. Thanks for all the comments! And now, you are all caught up! I hope you'll continue to enjoy! There's more left of the story!

Again, duly noted. Thanks for the suggestion! Also, for appreciating my humor!
