Awesome 👍

Yay, I love this story...glad you are continuing it.

The story just keeps getting better.

Great story so far. I am always super eager for the next chapter.

Hopefully so.

One month and counting lol. I love this story, can't wait for the next chapter.

It's been long enough that I am starting to read some chapters again to refresh myself on the details. 😭

And now we wait...

Nash comes across as pretty self-centered-his work, his trips, his marathons, his perceptions, his needing to heal-even when he talks to Penn, he uses "I" a lot and explains how he is feeling or why he did something. None of these things are bad in and of themselves, but even Lee pointed out that Nash didn't have time for him. The Knotts had been inviting Nash to events for years, but he turned them down because it wasn't on the terms he wanted and he judged their motivations without knowing them. I think the only way Nash makes any personal growth is to move beyond this...yes he understands Penn is hurting, but he doesn't seem to be thinking about why and how that might impact Penn. He still frames it through his own lens of hurting. I think that if Nash can move beyond this and re-frame how he sees his world and those around him, Penn might be willing to risk his heart again, but if he doesn't, Penn won't. Both Nash and Penn have long-developed issues and what they most need is to lay their cards on the table-state how they feel and what each of them wants to be for the other.

Great chapter, but now I am dying for Chapter 16.

I love this story and the wait for Chapter 15 is killing me!

This is a great story with great characters. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Amazing chapter!

Wonderful. Thank you for this great story.

Wonderful chapter...acceptance by both of them of each other and their flaws.

Great chapter...seems like perhaps enough has finally come out for both Shane and Donovan to begin making progress.

I thought this throughout The Chosen: Chad is a dick. It was a great series

Oh no, I meant for Donovan and Shane's relationship to work.

Still have some strikes left...

There are 9 innings in a game...

Great chapter. We see some compassion from Donovan, yet he remains so defensive. Shane laid it all on the line and like Shane said, it wasn't enough. I don't know how much damage Donovan has done here if he were to follow through on his wanting Shane. Donovan needs to let Shane in and trust him and much like Shane needs to put Donovan first instead of apologizing for mistakes after the fact, Donovan needs to do exactly the same thing. One difference is that Shane has been willing to admit his mistakes to Donovan, but Donovan is only seeming to start to admit his mistakes to himself, never mind Shane. Its good to hear more of Donovan and to see progress on his part. Incidentally, if Shane wanted to win Donovan, when he gets to dress him, he should tell Donovan to go as he would normally go. That would probably ease many of Donovan's fears that he can't trust Shane when Shane said "You are exactly what I didn't know I was looking for."

Spot on and Shane really needs to have a serious out and out with Drew and Aaron.

Please! Post the next chapter #anticipation

Great chapter...we can see several of Shane's issues and that he seems to be seeing them too. I think he still needs to really question what he accepts from others...his father, Aaron, Drew, Davis, and Donovan and also needs to move from recognizing mistakes to putting Donovan first so he doesn't make them in the first place. It's obvious he cares greatly for Donovan (I would say on a deeper level than Donovan cares for him, but clearly both have caught feelings), but until he is more deliberate and proactive no relationship will work. A good sign is the last part...Donovan is worth fighting for and changing for.

I was surprised, but think this is a great chapter. It is focused on Donovan, so I won't address Shane here. It is clear that Donovan has issues that impact his personal relationships and also has many positive qualities. I think this is the beginning of revealing those and their impact on his decision-making. He needs to confront these and deal with them if he is ever to have an equal, satisfying personal relationship.
