With this story and your writing style I think best way for any of us to read it is, seated comfortably at home with a glass of brandy to hand. That's the way I'm reading it anyway.

Now that the truth is out maybe that's the opening to a happier future for all, it's just what form that happiness takes that we need to know. Yes I know we have to carry on reading the story to find out, and I'm more than happy to do that with both the story and the telling of it being this good. 😁

I couldn't have put it better myself and agree 100%

A beautifully told story of an intergenerational friendship, definitely worth reading.

There's not really a suitable emoticon for this story because it's both a happy and sad story at the same time. But it is beautiful story of friendship that spans the generations. Loved it even though it has a sad ending.

A short story of the innocence of youth, something that we all went through and yet we all tend to forget. Thanks for bringing back some long forgotten memories.

What can be said that hasn't already been said, you make it feel very real showing everything warts and all. Real flaws in peoples character, real differences in peoples reactions that's life, it's not perfect and we all know it. It looks like we are getting close to some form of closure for Kyle, I wonder what will come after that closure? Is it reconciliation of some form or is the platform for Kyle and Jacob to be able to move on in their own different worlds? That's a rhetorical question as I know I have wait.

Please do not give up and dump the story, this is your creation and your story, you are doing an excellent job. Just look at all of your reviews, by far the majority of us are really enjoying it and want the story to continue. One or two not so good reviews from people that have forgotten that this is a fictional story are far outweighed by all of the good positive reviews that you are getting. The majority are with you and your story and we are enjoying it.

Tension or what? You could feel it, you're definitely exercising your knack fo getting the feelings and emotion in your words. I'm happy for Andy and Brian, but I wonder if I'll be happy for Kyle, Jacob and Dave? Guess we have to wait and see.

Wow, I'd guessed that Jacob had been unfaithful, but with Kyle's Dad! That i didn't see coming. Reading it brought out a well full of emotions, not least wanting to put an arm around Kyle's shoulder and comfort him. I know that sounds silly, it's just a story, but that's how well written it is.

Another beautifully written chapter full of emotion that can be felt, now I need to get to reading so that I can catch up with everyone.

Your spoiling us with all the good bits, I know that it's not all going to be hearts and roses. I am and at the same time, am not looking to the downfall in the story between Kyle and Jacob, although I know it's inevitable and crucial to the story. You have a lot of us hooked with the story and I know that you will not disappoint.

That was better than I expected, I don't know how you do it but you do it well. A brilliantly well written chapter.

The way that you write this, with all of the feeling and emotion it feels real if that makes sense. I can understand Kyle's fear of telling his Dad, when you have a good Dad your scared of disappointing and hurting someone that special and you describe it so well. Thanks again for sharing your talent.
