For some reason, this resonated with me:

I try on futures like coats

too bright, too thin, too warm

and leave them hanging

Thanks for sharing tim xo

We all have those "meh" days. My mom used to call it the blahs. I've had a few of those recently too. I think it's this fickle weather. I'm not used to so many cloudy days . All we can do is what we can, when we can, and as best we can. You can always hit me up for a chat if you're in the mood to be entertained lol. 

Hugs, my friend. 

I told tim that you could give him a run for his money in the poetry department and I meant it. These are stunningly beautiful.

The path should always lead you home, my friend. Hugs.

Great way to wrap up a murder mystery. This was a good story to read and a fun dip into the supernatural world.

When you sent me this chapter to edit, I didn't know what to expect. I was hoping for a happily ever after and I did get it, but it wasn't wrapped up in a nice little bow. Instead, I cried because of how real everything felt. 

The conversation in the barn was gut wrenching in a good way. We have no idea what happens to us when we die, and to show one possibility through Leo was brilliant. 

The ending was perfect. Lonnie has found a sense of peace, and Leo ... I love that you left it a bit vague because Leo will always be a part of Lonnie and even though his ghost may have faded, the memories Lonnie has never will. 

This has become my favorite story of yours. xoxo

That was exactly my thought… Maybe it’s because I’m a parent myself, but I was just reading about the shocked dad’s reaction and thinking - that’s how I would react if one of my children came up with such a rushed, poorly thought-out idea. Especially when someone is still vulnerable and hurting, like Loonie. Let’s hope for the best…

My older son is already married so it's not an issue. 

My younger son? It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he pulled something like this. I think Lonnie has some ADHD going on. His brain seems to run in all different directions sometimes, and he's prone to impulsive decisions. Granted, once he gets an idea he does mull it over for a bit, but the idea itself, like selling the house and business, comes out of left field. So far though, it seems like he's doing the right things for himself in order to move forward. 

Looking forward to Wednesday!

Michael is right, there is a lot going on in this chapter. 

What stuck out to me was when right after Lonnie handed over the keys to the house and got in the car and was smacked with Leo saying "I forgive you".  I think Lonnie was really forgiving himself. He's finally given himself permission to move on, albeit in his own way. He recognizes the need to move forward. 

Great job yet again. I love this story. xo

Sneaky..eh. You'll notice it wasn't, will you marry me, but I want you to...not quite you will marry me, but close. 

I noticed. 

Ok. No yelling. I promise. 

I'll get to the "I want you to marry me" part in a minute. 

First... Absolutely a first rate job showing the multitude of emotions that Lonnie is dealing with....and it's a lot. Indecisiveness about the business and house, then resolved determineness (I have no idea if that's a real word) to do so. Anger at Leo for questioning him and for just plain being dead, hopefulness that he likes Ty and that the man might like him back, excitement for a simple dinner date. 

Then....BAM! You hit us with astonishment. "I want you to marry me."

Very sneaky Tim, veeeerrrryyyy sneaky. 

❤️😲

Yes, unpredictable highs and low. I just wish he had more compassion for how his call was going to sound to Keve. Just adding that he felt he needed space and was going to his cabin to clear his mind would also let the poor guy coming off his bad relationship know that he wasn’t the cause off the escape plan. 😢 

In Lonnie's defense, he did apologize and admitted he wasn't ready. Poor guy sorta panicked. Hopefully Keve will understand. 

I think Stacy is a good friend with solid advice. Everyone needs a Stacy in their life.

Lonnie will get his $#!+ together eventually. I think.  Probably.

Eh, no spoilers allowed. 

Great job tim. You've nailed how unpredictable grieving can be.

This quote from Lonnie's mom is what struck me the most in this chapter:

"You don't have to carry him alone anymore."

I think a lot of people who are grieving tend to hide what they're feeling because they don't want to upset others. 

The grief process is something different for everyone and Lonnie's mom just quietly let her son know that he had support. 

Great chapter tim ❤️

There are stories that hit hard in the emotion department. This is one of them. 

Grief is many things to many people and you've managed to portray a lot of emotion in this first chapter. Great job tim. 

My my, oh what a wicked prince 😉

I'll echo what @Carybr said. I didn't have much interest in wolf-shifter stories until I read @kbois take on it so likewise while this genre doesn't interest me I bet @Mark Ponyboy Peters will make this good

Very nice, tim

 Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Firstly, I was wrong. I think kbois highest is like 272, still crazy high, the entire story comment count I already forgot but its really high

Its 379. 

Totally the fault of the Krew. Theyre completely insane. @weinerdog is the ringleader. He chews through muzzles, he's somehow destroyed three anti-bark collars and knows that if he runs fast enough he can barrel through the electric fence with barely a shock. He's a menace.
