Chapter 6, he found out that he was in witness protection and ex-mafia. Chapter 14 he found out Corbin wasn't exactly totally removed from the mafia ... and they argued about it (after the scene with Luca in the restaurant).

Devin was lost in thought, wondering as he often did if any of his life would be right. And how things always seemed just that little bit wrong. Ben is a great person. I know he loves me, but … damn it, is that enough? Ben and his husband, Devin, were waiting in a sales office for their salesman Bill Garrand to return. T.O. Boat Sales was located, appropriately, downtown on Toronto’s waterfront. Reaching for Devin’s hand, Ben smiled. "This is going to be great. Just think of the peace an

Two serious writers named Frank and Ben take a stab at collaboration, and end up mired in a contract they never really wanted. This ... is their story. But first, a word from our sponsor. "As The Houseboat Floats brought to you in part by Fresh Lemon Dish soap and by, Pretty Package Boxers. For the man who likes to present well."

“We made it to ten this year! That’s pretty good.” And that’s how you know your priorities have changed. Happy New Year, all!

Yup. The question is, does Luca know? Because that answer changes the game completely...

Nice ending, Thorn. Great story. Thanks for sharing it! 🙂

The Morning that Followed
Wayne Gray commented on Thorn Wilde's story chapter in The Morning that Followed
I loved the scene in the hospital, and loopy-Mark talking to Ben. It was cute. 🙂 -
I am not. The Italian in this story was written through liberal use of Google Translate and a friend who is fluent and charitably corrected the electronic foibles. Stefano? You don't like him? Why ever not? 😉

I'm sorry that this is how you feel. We write to evoke something, some emotion. Those without talent can't do it. But, just so you know ... I feel this.
-
Thank you, Parker. I'm glad it has spoken to you in such a way. I really needed to write it, and I'm happy that I did. More to come on Wednesday.

Hehehe. Yeah, Elias has grown confident enough to let his snarky side show through. He's still very much a sweet kid, and I do hope his progress has felt organic. Taking those kittens anywhere would require momma's approval. And so far, Paul is the only one she allows to touch them. hehehe Thanks for reading and commenting, Danilo!

I do have something else up my sleeve. 😄 The rest of that money stayed with the artist. His college/pottery fund. But with a kid like Elias, it's likely he won't keep it all to himself. Yep!
-
Awww. I'm glad it feels that way. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
-
Thanks, Chris. You're right. Jeremy still has his charges to tell. That should be fun, eh? That is, if I can keep drama away from my characters for a chapter. Any bets?
-
That's a very firm "no". I think you'll be okay, droughtquake. 😉
-
Thanks, Tom! You did catch that drift. So, that last epilogue I added to Guarded? Well, this chapter you just read happened prior to that epilogue. Paul and Corbin came home from the airport to find little Miss Zampa had crawled on their bed and had a litter of three bobcat kittens. She's no dummy. She knows a good den when she sees it! And despite what Corbin said, he was definitely jealous that Zampa allowed Paul to pick up her newborn kittens.

Thanks, Dave! I appreciate the read and the comment.

Hehehe. Well, it was time, right? We're coming up on the end of this one, but there's a bit more to go in the continuation of the tale. I may take a couple of weeks off posting and get it into really good condition for my poor editor, but it will come. Thanks for reading and commenting, droughtquake.

There's a continuation of the story that follows a few new folks around, and some of our regulars too. I'm glad that you're enjoying what I've posted so far.

Thanks, molly! I really liked this moment too. 🙂 By the way ... A Silent Song is my next posting I'll do. 😉

July 13 (Friday, 10:14 a.m.) Joseph pulled up to the curb to see Orson and Elias, each with their bags, fresh off their flight. He stopped in the loading zone, and the guys tossed their bags into the trunk of his little car. Orson got in the front seat and Elias jumped in the back. He gave Orson a tentative smile. "Hey." Orson grinned at him, and that expression let Joseph know everything he needed - that everything was okay. "Hey. Thanks for picking us up." Joseph didn't answer.

That's true. They see the good, bad, the attempts to keep things from them, and openness and honesty too. They learn how to deal with the world by seeing others work within it. Sobering thought ... we need to keep that in mind when dealing with kids. The Costa are definitely persistent. We'll have to see what can be done about that. Thanks for reading!

Thanks, Tom. I'm finally back on my feet, after over a week! Ugh. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. More to come. Later today, actually! I'm well on the way to better, thanks. Elias really did let the guys know how he felt, and luckily they listened. Maybe so, yeah. But we all do things to protect our hearts that aren't exactly admirable. He's just a guy trying to avoid pain he could see coming. Cowardly, yes. A bit. But, I like my characters to be human, and he's showing how much he is exactly that. He does really care, and he shows it. I am feeling better. Thank you! 🙂
