Hehehe. Thanks for commenting, molly.
you've mentioned that you find a kindred spirit in Natalie. That's cool. She's a wonderful character, and someone who is a steady, loving presence to those around her. Finding things in common with her is a good thing. 🙂
I'm glad you found all of the things you shouldn't say about the story, droughtquake. 😛
But, I'm happier that you're enjoying it - no matter the reasons. Thanks.
Ah, I'm glad. It makes me happy to know that people enjoy the work, so thank you for commenting. Comments, ratings on stories, and story reviews really encourage authors, so if you see stories you particularly like let that author know. It may not feel important to you, but they're more likely to produce additional stories if you do. Thanks for commenting!
Thanksgiving went well, eh? The friends all got to reconnect, meet Grant, and watch Grant drunkenly lay claim to Troy (that’s what happened, regardless of Grant’s intentions). Then they plan a holiday for Grant while he’s passed out.
Cut to bedtime and things are quite a bit more snuggly than Troy had anticipated.
Where will we go from here? We’ll find out on Sunday.
Thanks for commenting and reading!

"Brian! Where's the tablecloth? The good one?" Natalie dug through the linen closet in their hallway, a frown creasing her otherwise smooth brow.
He came walking in from their laundry room, the tablecloth over his arm. "I told you I was going to wash it." His bass voice growled, but he smiled at her. "Relax, Nat."
"Thank God." Natalie grabbed the tablecloth. "I am relaxed."
She turned to go back into the living room, an
Would you?
Are you letting Terrence get under your skin, droughtquake?
I'm not sure if @Mikiesboy would agree, but I think that would make Terrence very happy. 😄
I missed replying to this, molly. Sorry about that!
you're so right. Life isn't neat or tidy. There are gray decisions we make daily, and we simply try to do our best with the situations and the tools we have to resolve them. We'll never do anything perfectly. We can only try.
Thanks for the great comment, molly!
Hehehe. Good. I'm glad the story is that interesting to you.
Grant is sort of an expert at rationalizing when it comes to Troy, huh? And maybe he didn't cross a line. That all depends on Troy, and how he feels about what Grant has done up to this point to meet, help, and then hang onto him.
That moment is likely to appear ... when Troy discovers what Grant has done. Let's find out. 🙂
Thank you for the great comments, and for reading!
Thanks, kbois!
I'm gratified that you're enjoying this journey for our guys. Troy felt a lot better about things once he got some distance from desperation. He's better able to say and do the things he needs to in order to interact in a more equal way with Grant. And ... Grant had to learn a lesson about pride, and the importance of it in Troy's life.
You've got a few more chapters to read before you hit the end of the line (and have to wait on updates like everyone else). Enjoy this glorious time in your life! 😄
Thanks, Tony!
This one was fun to write. The back and forth perspectives between Frank and Ike, Devin and Ben were particularly something I had wondered if we could pull off. But I think it worked well. 🙂
Gail is certainly a piece of work. What kind of work? Well, that remains to be seen.
hehehe. you like their names, eh? Good. 😛
Oh, you have big plans for Ike and Devin. Keep reading ... find out if you're right!
It's great you're enjoying it. I like all of it, but this is about where it kicks into a different and higher gear. 🙂
It's wonderful you want more, because that's what you'll get.
Next week! 😄
