I love a happy ever after ending! Thanks, Cynus.
I was completely clueless as to who Silas was intending to call. Initially, when you wrote "It had been some time since he had talked to anyone from home" I was assuming you meant anyone from Crow's Lake, as that seems to me to be the place that Silas would think of as home now.
I loved the exchange between Silas and Adam in the police station.
I just hope Braids doesn't get the wrong idea of the relationship between the two of them.
I'd forgotten about Officer Higgins' involvement until right at the end of this chapter. Hopefully no-one is seriously injured (although it could be someone shot Officer Higgins? ).
There doesn't seem to be an end in sight for the current spell of settled weather here in Ireland...
Which means I have spent just about all my time in the garden, and haven't got round to deep cleaning my kitchen yet.
And it also means that I cannot be 100% sure that the repair my builder did to my gutter has definitely stopped the leak.
But the weather will break eventually (this is the west of Ireland, after all).
*Sigh*
I've known him since he was a baby, and watched him grow. I just can't think of him that way. It would be like incest...
I suppose it's my own fault really. After all, I did make the comment in reply to one about me rolling in the hay with a young stud.
Hey, Albert!
You been shopping yet? Hope you stayed safe, if you did. Or stay safe when you do go if you've not gone yet.
You've caught me near the end of my lunch break. Heading back into the garden very shortly.
I did suggest at the weekend to a friend of mine that she let me kidnap her 21 year old for a week or so to help me with the gardening. I even offered to let him sleep in the new house, and I'd sleep in the house I'm still currently renting just around the corner.
Get your minds out of the gutter, folks! That sleeping arrangement suggestion was to maintain social distancing (and he's happily straight, anyway). Unfortunately his mother said she has plenty of jobs herself for him to do.
That story about the old lady is particularly poignant.
I'm glad to hear that your grandpa's nursing home is helping him to stay in touch with his family, and vica-versa.
Sadly, there's many many people being forced to stay away from their loved ones as a result of these necessary restrictions...
