@astone2292 and @Mrsgnomie have taken every opportunity to remind me how much of a monster I am. Geesh.
Tyler a d Elijah's futures are up in the air at the moment. Elijah is nowhere ready to move on. I can't imagine Tyler abandoning him for some wolfie luv.
When I was a kid the Mass Pike had Howard Johnsons at every rest stop. I remember getting a chocolate milkshake whenever we stopped. Later on they all converted to Burger Kings. I have no idea what they are now.
The meeting with the boss will be what it needs to be.
I can be secure and juvenile at the same time.
Yes, Kage's death has a purpose. The threads are there, still a few to be found, but eventually they'll all come together.
My editor @astone2292didn't hold back when he chastised me overmy original oversight if not letting Mama send them off with some kind of food. Cookies were a compromise I was happy to make.
This is some great advice. I'm currently working on some character development and was trying to think non-sexual ways for my characters to connect. This hit the nail on the head. So thank you!
I've had to attend some pretty tedious graduations. The worst being one of my necessary, a three hour affair for a whopping 80 graduates. It was torture. The best was my younger son's. Class of 2020, one positive outcome of Covid fallout, we were in and out in 20 minutes.
I'm pretty sure there's a federal statute out there requiring a Cracker Barrel every third exit off I-95 from Virginia to Florida.
You'll have to wait to get answers on the rest.
It's amazing how this year has matured Will. He and Zach have a lot of obstacles between them and I have a feeling it will be a while in the timeline before they can find the right niche fir them to be together.
Great chapter!
If you can't wait until Wednesday, please tell Kage we all say "hi!" 😆
JK.
Tyler’s family is a rare gem. Like all big families, there's drama. But in the end, they have each other's backs.
Graduation night I went to the beach with 3 friends. One was a couple years older than us. She was grandfathered in and could legally buy and she was our designated driver. We stayed out until sunrise, went back to one friend's house, caught a couple hours of sleep then headed home to decorate my own Graduation cake for the family party. Overall pretty low-key.
I was never one for loud parties because, well, ewww... people.
I didn't acquire a taste for wine until later in life when my sister-in-law became my family-get-together-drinking-buddy. It's how we survived big gatherings with the in-laws.
I remember more of my high school graduation than my college. Mostly because I almost didn't make it. We got sideswiped coming out of our street. Luckily one of my brothers worked down the street and he was able to get me to the civic center on time, barely. Mom and Dad made it right as things started.
