Hehehe. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😛

Thanks for commenting, Butcher. Sometimes we click, and we click fast. That seems to be happening for Rhett and Beth. Will it turn into anything? Time will tell. Oh, and chapters. Chapters will tell. 🙂

Sandra is finding forgiveness in her son, and strength in her husband - both of which she never expected. William IS a rock. I had a few readers email to ask where they could find one. Hehehe. He's a good man. Beth is a character. I try hard to write all characters as if they are the star - because they ARE the star of their story. She and Rhett do fit well at first blush. Let's find out how that goes. Dream sequence? Did you not read my little diversion I wrote a couple of weeks ago? https://gayauthors.org/story/wayne-gray/story-promptsideas/3 Non-canon, mind you. But ... there you go. Nice work on your blog! I have one myself. Reality is nuts, but it's nice to get away here for a bit. Readers make that worthwhile too, so you're welcome, but thank you too. Oh, I hope you enjoy Brian and Aaron's visit to the cabin. 😄 Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the nice comment, chris. No drama this time. I guess I thought we could use the break. 😛 Beth and Rhett do seem to hit it off, and that is very likely why the crazy woman decided to try for the teaching job at Brian's school. Though, her relationships with her family back in Georgia aren't the best, and she is eager for some distance from them. There will be more on Sunday!

27 February 2019, Wednesday 10:25 a.m. Hating the attention, Sandra found herself in a wheelchair with an airport employee who was now responsible for getting her onboard and safely tucked into her seat in First Class. "I'm sure my husband can manage it," she said, with more bite to her tone than she'd intended, as the young man helped William get her into the wheelchair. The fellow now looked nervous, and William stepped in. "Sandra, let the man do his job." He nodded at the airline

I know that some will learn from this. It's impossible not to internalize at least bits of the message sent to our world. We'll get through this. I'm glad you're safe, and that you and Mike have each other. 💓

I love the term "were-comedy". It sort of sounds like a story that gets funny only on the full moon.

I'm in the middle (even though it's only Tuesday) of a tough work-week, taking a little break between meetings. Thanks everyone (@CaJu, @kbois, @droughtquake, @Danners, @chris191070, @Butcher56, @Hawgdad, @Parker Owens, @Quixo) for commenting on the chapter. I read every one, and each has a lot of value to me. Don't be offended if I don't comment on your words. It's not you, it's COVID-19. For real.

Hi, Quixo. Ah, I'm really glad you found my story. Even better is that you enjoy it. 🙂 I like deep and complex characters; people with imperfections are just more interesting. And of course there's the sex. I write erotica, so it's important that there be sex and that it be hot; though the goal is exactly what you said about their relationship feeling sensuous. It's always wonderful to hear from readers. Thank you.

25 February 2019, Monday 12:49 p.m. Troy spent nine days working on the project in California. Every night, Grant would call him to hear Troy's voice, but it was torture to be apart from his tall lover. Even Rhett had noticed. "You all right?" Thursday of last week, Rhett had looked over at Grant as they left the exam room and headed to their office. "You seem a little distracted." "Ah, Troy's still gone." He'd sat at his desk with a sigh. "I guess I'm just missing him." Rhett ha

We all deal with things differently. Lately, I’ve been losing myself in games vs writing. It’s all a way to shed stress.

Definitely hard to focus right now. I'm trying ... but it's tough.

I believe every author wants their readers to enjoy their work. Well ... enjoy is perhaps not right. What I want is to inspire emotion of some kind. I want there to be joy, pain, sadness, and pure elation. That's what I want. 🙂 William is still processing that his son is gay, but he doesn't judge Troy for his sexuality at all. Sandra has had longer to think it through, and so it's not a thing for her. She's all about judging Troy based purely on merit, and judge she shall! But yeah, these two are evolved enough to not care about his sexuality. Thanks, Tom!

Thanks, Tony! I love it too. No matter what else happens, at least we have that constancy to look forward to.

Thanks, tim. I'm glad you like it. 🙂

Thanks, Jeffrey. Spring is a time for renewal and hope. I thought we could use that right now. 🙂

I LOVE that. I love being warm, snuggled up with someone(s) in a really cold room. Mmmm. Maybe that's why I love camping in the Spring and Fall so much.

Thanks for the comment, Geemeedee! Everything that costs money above already-approved projects or maintenance goes through Sandra. So, yes. William had to run the proposed project through her. It’s probably hard to imagine, but she is a control-freak. 😝 She immediately printed information on all available systems to have in hand to go over with Troy. Based on their needs and the information she had, Troy was able to work up a quote.

The warmth of the sun, found by pushing through darkness. A seedling has faith.

She won't be able to. We'll have to see how it ultimately is revealed, won't we? Thanks for the comment, Butcher!

Exactly. Yes ... this. Thanks for the comment, yarameb. You really nailed her struggle in one sentence.

Thanks, chris. She will not be able to keep things hidden long. She's many things, but Sandra is not a liar. There was no way she'd make Troy suffer for helping her. It's not how she works.

Thanks for commenting, Jeffrey. Troy has been rather unflappable in the face of Sandra. Frankly, he's in his element. Even with his doubts concerning the job, he still understands exactly what is expected and that he will do the best work he possibly can. He does miss Grant, yet he is doing exactly what you've spoken of. He's working on getting to know them. Yet ... now, he knows a bit more about Sandra than she wanted.

You're right. She won't be able to hide it much longer. Once word gets out to the rest of the crew, the likelihood of Grant finding out through one or more of them goes waaaaay up. Nope, a walker wouldn't help Sandra much. But ... her husband is such a loving guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he built paths between the rows that a narrow wheelchair could traverse. Soil cement is porous, and it could work. I like to think he did that after the events described by the story end. Thanks for reading, drought. 🙂

Now, now ... when have I ever taken the easy way out? But, now that you know where things are headed, since I'm so predictable, it'll be much less of a shock, right? *smirk* Thanks for commenting, kbois!
