All of these are good spots for discussion for me, let's see if I can do that without giving you any information on the last chapter.. lol, which in the way that I have wrote it, has a lot of potential for action, which is what I had intended from the beginning, I was just kind of scared that readers would lose interest to this point of the story.
Anyway, the part of your message about the Parents - I wanted them to sort of develop relationships with their children again as time went by, it's an important part of the story. It just happened more in the last two chapters as I've been building up to the "secret surprise/prank for Will" as well as, "chaotic anniversary party," and, "the talk."
You'll also find out why Will never makes a move on Brett.
