It will never be behind me. You guys will always be there to throw it back at me. Lol

Hmmm.... Shadow Effect should be interstesting for you. Good luck!

Eh.. It's complicated.

Oh god... don't you start with Caleb too. That's all I need is another one jumping on @Mrsgnomies bandwagon.

No they don't. They're a-holes.

Nope.. they sure didn't.

This is the point where there were a lot of moving parts to keep track of.

Yes indeed.

Yeah... they're scumbags. They deserve whatever comes their way.

Time's a tickin'!

My das wanted my middle name to be Ominous. Mom put her foot down. Lol

What's with the damn cats!? Is there a hidden hidden theme? That aside, this was a fun story with lots of laughs. There aren't too many people I'd ever want to take a road trip like this with without wanting to throw them out of the moving car at some point. Lol Thanks secret author!

What happens when your online world collides with the real one? An epic adventure. That's what.

You're not supposed to give them any hints. Lead them astray, I say!🤣

Maeve is what my brother calls a 'feeder'. His wife is one.. they will try to feed you no matter what the occasion or whether or not you're hungry.. food is the ultimate cure all in their world. Lol

I agree. I've read some stories that have had me tearing my hair out. But they've usually had a good outcome... unless the author kills the dog... then I won't read another word o matter how good it was. So far no chance of that in tim's story.

That is the #1 sign of a great author. 😉

I think freedom is what you make of it. Even though some of us live in the land of the free... we are still bound by laws and morality (there's a whole other discussion). Matt now has the opportunity and the means to explore his newfound freedom. It's up to him to figure out what that means. This was an excellent chapter tim!

I loved this little tale. The author did a great job with the descriptions of the old garden and the explanation at the end of the grandparents love story was sweet. A nice twist on the usual angst of figuring out one's true self. Thanks Secret Author!

Andy has rightfully been chastised for his decision. It's never good when you incur the wrath of your parents. "Who was that, my love?" he asked. "Your son," Doreen replied as she settled on the sofa. Such a classic "Mom" line. It made me laugh when I first read it and it still makes me smile. It's always the spouse's child when the kid effs up. Matt still has an uncertain future ahead of him but at least he now has his freedom.

You're too easy. 🤣🤣

Let's face it... you're at the point where you realize that maybe you should have gotten that extended warranty... lol

Cats in general... meh... but I enjoyed the story. It's well written and the human characters are relatable. The author did a great job with the human emotional side. From the panic Maison feels at thinking he's lost his sister's kitten to the angst Evan feels at realizing he's in love with his best friend and the consequences of that love. Even the fierce protectiveness that Evan's mom has for Maison comes across loud and clear. Excellent job!

Being a trafficker... and researching such individuals is one thing. Rescuing someone vulnerable is another. Andy has insights as to how the business operates. He is speculating as to what toll it takes on those who were its victim.

I am safely back home and happy to be here. I do love seeing new places and Chicago surprised me in a pleasant way. It's very much like NYC but a lot cleaner. All too often, we hear just the bad stuff, but I can honestly say I would go back for a touristy visit if I ever have the chance. Airports and planes, however are an entirely different beast. Too crowded and people are in way too much of a hurry. Give yourself time and it's less stressful. I did have to break down and request a wheelchair in Tampa when I landed. After 3 days of walking way too much, me and my air compression boot needed a break. It's the first time I've ever had to do it. I felt rather self-conscious. I got a little aggravated when I saw a guy who had requested pre-boarding in Chicago (like I did) and limped on the plane... nearly race off with no limp when we landed. I can't stand idiots who abuse the system. I felt bad requesting assistance and I have a damn good reason.. but that's just my nature. Have a happy Friday tomorrow!
