  1. I don’t think I said they were married to each other. Just married in general? I don’t remember that, but I would’ve been in the first chapter of Shane’s POV
  2. Yeah, that would be important. When I started, those characters weren’t going to play a big roll. I messed up. I should change the earlier chapter.
  3. No typo. It’s just an expression. Like, when someone calls you repeatedly or sends a bunch of texts...they’re “blowing up your phone.” When someone knocks on the door like a mad man, they’re “blowing up the your door.”
  4. I hadn’t expected him to show up last night. Hell, I wasn’t aware he knew where I lived, so imagine my surprise when he was the unexpected guest blowing up my front door. I wished I could’ve said it was hard to watch him breakdown before my eyes, but I can’t. If I was willing to admit it or not, my masculinity had desperately needed the encouragement that I wasn’t a total failure, that I wasn’t unwanted, and that my feelings weren’t one sided. In general, it had been weeks since I’d looked

    I think most people, especially those with kids, have had this thought multiple times. Sometimes I think it's the only real solution.

    The first step to recovery is admitting there's a problem

    A little, but nothing big! The rollercoaster is mostly over, positive from here on out.

    There are multiple ways to defuse a situation. They might not have stood up and yelled at Davis, reprimanding him for his words, but they shut it down by not feeding him, and changed the subject. I might not be the textbook right answer, but it's what they did in that moment. It's what Shane thought would work while not pissing on the relationship with his potential boss. Nick said what he said out of anger, there might have been truth regarding Donovan looking for an out, but mostly he was angry that Donovan tried to place the blame and responsibility on others, instead of admitting that he was an active participant. Nick was hurt and angry, and lashed out.

    I think I find pleasure in driving readers to the edge of insanity, and then pulling them back.

    A person can only tolerate so much self-reflection before it becomes detrimental to one's health. That’s how I was feeling by ten o’clock the next morning. The realization that I was a fuck-tard was weighing heavily on me—so much so that I’d started to feel depressed, which wasn’t a normal feeling for me. I was a good person—I worked with sick kids, was debt free (minus my home), ate relatively healthy, worked out (sometimes), and treated people with respect (more often than not). But mostly, I
  13. Soon. We had a bit of a bender on the trip. My youngest went face first down the escalators at Universal Studios. If you haven't been there, those things are no joke. Put a damper on the trip (and his face), he's a trooper, but I'm just now getting around to editing the next chapter, while simultaneously trying to finish up that last chapter. Hopefully post today or tomorrow.
  14. The story is already written (minus the last chapter that I’m currently typing) so there’s not much to change based on comments. Plus, I know the vision I have. With that aside, it’s definitely nerve wracking worrying if you guys will like the end result. We’ll find out soon enough since we’re close to the end.
  15. i understand why you guys are frustrated, but I feel this is a necessary evil. Both of these men need growth and to get to that point, they have to reach bottom. Maybe it’s just where I come from, but rarely do people make the perfect decisions along the way lol.

    I know this isn’t suppose to be a chapter story...but maybe? Yes?
  17. I’m adding some chapters to my previous story Still You Want Me. Beside that, I’m doing a spin off with Jesse, and I have some other stories in mind. No breaks yet!
  18. You’re right, it is. But like everything interpretation is weird thing. Regardless of Shane’s intentions, how Donovan feels about the incident changes because of where he’s at. Donovan might still feel like what he did was wrong, but it might not upset him the same way it would have the weeks prior. To some degree, we’ve all been there. ^^ This. We’re entering the fall of Donovan. (Comment above) Not too old. Something can be light hearted and still have a dark underbelly. There’s a selfishness in our human nature that we’ve seen to some degree in most of the characters that impacts those around us. There’s four chapters left, starting with the breaking of Donovan.
  19. I set the bag of alcohol and mixers on the table, along with some beer for the heteros. It’d been a very long week, as far as work was concerned. I’d worked over sixty hours, thanks to others taking vacation time or calling in for this reason or that. I was exhausted, but there was no time for that. It was time to square up on our deal and I had all weekend off to recover from my exhaustion. Somehow, it’d been decided the DONNAS and the DAKS would convene at my house to prepare for the big n

    Ya ya ya. Gotta call me out lol. Leaving for vacation never goes as smooth as planned. I got back to the hotel after an exhausting day at Disney and finished so I can post, just for you lol.

    Probably tomorrow. I'm leaving Friday AM to Cali for five days. So I'll definitely post before I leave, but won't be able to post again until mid week (next week).

    Thought I responded to this but...I guess not? Anyway, once they scored, it wasn’t necessary to keep playing since they were the last inning. Landry’s wouldn’t have had a chance to score again. So it was game over.

    In a real game, yes. But a lot of times co-ed leagues or summer leagues they only do 5-7 because of time constraints. At least that’s what I’ve always seen and been a part of. 🤷🏻‍♀️
