I'm getting the distinct impression that this is a timeline play. Shelly was to be Penni's date gets sidetracked with seeing Simon and Bob's your uncle, Renke falls for Penni and the story continues.
Wow!
Liz...damn, if I didn't know better I'd think she communicates in slapping. I feel sorry for their lost friendship and hope that after a time that the boat will float again.
Is she gonna slap Mike even though he's a cop? Lol
Like the advice gave to my mom when physically dealing with the police...resist. (They had a funny marriage)
Look I'm a very tactile person, a scratch here a tickle there... but not THERE! I've been hit, shot with Nerf, kicked, stabbed (loose spring on an old couch), items tossed at, and overstretched that general area. The basis for my self defense was for its protection, I basically go into a muy thai defense stance at something headed my way. Like my pieces, and the less damage inflicted upon them the more happier we'd be.
Spaceballs called it. The virginity alarm, meant to go off before he does.
Finally Harry!
I think Oli is maturing ever so slightly and beginning to understand his family, and in turn they are getting better at being his parents.
And...I'm caught up. Geez 2 days. Love this story(and it's predecessor) and can't wait for more.
The colors, the imagery, the emotion, the humor are all in my wheelhouse. Though I probably laughed at some more serious points in the tale but still I'm exuberant for what's to come.
I have come to realize that I have my own promise seal. A birthmark upon my heart. In the shape of a stylized heart on its side with a line starting from the cleft and ending at the wall to lower part of my body, close to bisecting the heart in half. I'm loving this story and wish I would have started reading earlier.
Use my 11,1/2 steel toe boots. Extra weight and momentum in the swing. I understand that he thinks he messed up and is trying too hard on Oli, I understand that having a demon return and for everyone to accept it or fawn over it is disheartening. But dammit man the only way to fix things is with communication.
Oli and Teddy finally seeing each other a little bit better.
Poor Blake is so out of the circle it's funny.
Love your writing. Keep up the good work.
Oli should drop his band. I feel like they, like at least that one teacher, dismiss his input and signs of a problem like ADD. And his jealousy of Jess is a thing of note. I'm proud of him for defending Teddy as well though fighting is still wrong. Mom's are kick ass and I want a mom fight.
I honestly forgot about him...oh god finding out that all his sons are with men and have children...or to add to the equation Hiscock working with/end up with Stanley...ugggh
This just shows how great at parenting these 2 are. They truly worry about their children. Hiscock is about to lose his cock if he starts what I think he's going to do.
I say he catches Nate burning down the cemetery house, which is OK since the house isn't itself anymore. And I see Nate more as a Michael Myers, stalk and stab, rather than wait for them to sleep and horror them to death Kruger.
