Lyn is going to get the TLC he needs... but it won't happen on page. Yes, Brad gave him his jacket, but we know that's not enough.

Alexander might just feel this way...

Hmm, you can wonder And you'll be pleased when that happens. There's a lot Alexander accepts from Lyn. And yes, he's always been there...

Chapter Thirty-Five – What Do You Call a Big Reveal? “Do you happen to have a sleeping pill ability in your doctor’s bag?” Lyn groaned as he adjusted his position against Alexander’s chest. “Because I seriously don’t want to wake up yet.” “Sleeping pill ability is a mouthful,” Alexander commented, holding Lyn close by wrapping an arm around him. “What else could you call it?” Lyn had an idea or two about what he wanted to call it. Safety came to mind, but he didn’t want to surrend

Clearly, with this story, I just unleashed something... The chapter I just posted makes everything clear! Since it touches what happened in Wolf in the City.

Jack needs to control what comes out of his mouth... but we know he just can't.

Oh, gawd, that's some naughty play right there! I admit that I didn't think that far... I'd die of second-hand embarrassment for Theo, lol! But as much as this annoys him... yeah, he might come to like it

He is... he fights the attraction. For now. But things will happen and he won't be able to resist it.

That rune reading will come in the nearby future... The trio will have to deal both with danger and their attraction.

Chapter Seven – The Dynamics of Attraction “Silence,” Theodore snapped, as a low, hissing sound reached his ears, despite not having them in the actual sense of the word. Whatever this witchcraft was, it had to be of the most conniving kind. Cassandra had to be behind it, or her allies, no matter what nonsense the field mouse was spouting about he and the other human having had killed her. “You are in my power now,” a voice sounding as one from beyond a grave floated to them. “Wh

You're right about one thing out of the two

Or... maybe he doesn't even care This is Alexander we're talking about, after all!

Thank you for the vote of confidence! I like to believe that I don't leave my readers disappointed ever, but if it does happen... it might be only my lack of skill in delivering the message I want to deliver. For this story, I'm confident that the epiphany, as you aptly call it, will trigger that reaction that says - so that's why things were the way they were!

The party is getting bigger!

Oh, well, let's see on Tuesday how your theories play out... Ah, I'm so stocked that you commented on Lyn's looks! Yes, he is hot! But I did one thing in this story that I've never done before - I haven't described Lyn physical wise! I wanted readers to build their own image of him. However, I might have left some hints... and there are others commenting on his looks. Let's not forget that he has his mom's looks - and if you notice the details mentioned of her, you'll get an image of him, too.

I like to believe that the rehearsal - in the light of what Bella tells Lyn about how they might be similar in some ways - is also an occasion for Lyn to see someone else doing things the way he tends to - only more outwardly. @LeeSA mentioned your theories and mirrors... and yes, this is one of those moments. He chooses to get involved because unlike everyone else - oblivious to Bella's stress - he understands the pressure. That's also part of his personality - he will help if he can. Alexander, of course, you noticed well, won't miss a chance to call Lyn out on his choices... like getting too involved with the wedding. And it's also Alexander's way of showing how vulnerable he is, how unsure... although Lyn goes into defense, thinking it's about him - classic Lyn, given his background. Now, I knew you guys would look at that conversation and barbs between Brad and Alexander exactly the way you did... And you're right, given the information you have so far. But at this point, we are still far from senior year and how things evolved until they reached their tipping point... I'd invite you then to look back and see if Lyn was that wrong to ask himself certain questions. But let's enjoy the ride I know it's complicated, but I hope it's stimulating! And oh boy, I think you will all get to a point where you'll hate Brad completely... but after all the twists are revealed, and the end comes, I am so interested to hear from you what your final verdict is in his case.

Oh, oh, oh... someone is on to something... re. pre-existing feelings. I can't recall right now if anyone else mentioned this before. The present happens over the course of days, yet Lyn and Alexander fall in synch with each other fast... So, yes, as I said, you're on to something. Mirror, mirror on the wall... Brad chose his partner for life based on a previous set of desirable traits, doesn't seem so? Luke... just wait for it - until Tuesday, no longer Brad does try something by inviting both his former friends... he's not good at it, but he's trying. His feelings - I like to think - will seem so different once the full picture is complete. And don't worry about having many theories. I'm here to read them all!

Yeah, I agree with what you're saying, because if we were honest, we'd all surely have things in our past which we're ashamed of. And we'd be hard-pressed to dwell on them. That fateful night will get its moment on stage. I wouldn't leave you without a big reveal - or more.

Bella is saying as she thinks things stand for Brad and Lyn. She's not hiding anything on purpose. Oh, I assure you the 'rattling' will be more than just about a tutu and Luke wearing it. Lol - that last line! It made me think of the Hercule Poirot movies, for some reasons!

Well, I beg to differ. When characters in books put their trauma up front, it doesn't ring true to me. If something is painful enough, you can 'dance' around it, even in your own head. Like scratching around a wound.

They aren't aware of how they look to the outside world...

We're getting close to that moment - which moment, you guys know what I mean. As for keeping it hidden... who says they're good at it?

Chapter Thirty-Four – [Memory, Junior Year, October] – Where Have You Been? Lyn checked his wristwatch impatiently. While Brad wasn’t the poster boy for punctuality, he had never let him wait for so long. He needed to get to the library and, since Brad had insisted that setting a foot in that place might give him a terrible disease of an unknown origin or name, Lyn had agreed to wait here, in the quad. It was getting cold surprisingly fast and, foolishly, Lyn had thought that the light swea

Yeah, the theme of time is present in this story... and I've always find it fascinating how human beings relate to time. There was this thing I read - a while ago, so I don't recall the source - that said that people can perceive the passing of an hour, but they have more difficulty with perceiving the same (as astutely, that was my understanding) when years are involved.

He-he, thanks, and you're not sensing that for nothing...
