Well I'm going to make sure I'm on page one.The only way to be sure of that is to post something before you even start to read the chapter.C-YA in a while

Ah! Nothing like getting the morning off to a cheerful start

Wake up @Mrsgnomie

When @kboissaid she dislikes feet I didn't think it included measurements

I get your POINT

I bet if he had to write it over he would use a different name

There's razor thin margin for error. (geez)

It would not be a Charlie Boone story if somebody didn't get into something. But what's the big deal they can't get hurt right?

I hope John condition isn't something that gets worse to the point where a complicated surgery is need. They should have posed for a picture with Andres to show his professor surely Andres had a smartphone

If you have read previous stories from this author you are aware he deals with dark subject matters and some characters have suffered some ordeals. In this story its mental illness severe anxiety the main focus but by no means not the only issue.This author has stated the protagonist Alec was himself so he is uniquely qualified to discuss this.You will learn a lot about the thought process and emotions of a person with this condition and for anybody who may know somebody close with this I believe this story a valuable tool to help one understand. We have Alec who has been homeschooled up until age 15 all of a sudden be thrust into a public high school and all the scary things that would entail for anybody let alone something with his issues.When Alec was homeschooled he admired from afar this boy who worked at a family bakery named Finn.On Alec first day in public school he see Finn and Finn is really friendly toward Alec.Turns out Finn is the most popular boys in school.It also turns out Finn is into Alec which Alec doesn't get at first. Under any circumstances the most popular star athlete being with a blued haired perceived misfit would come with hurdles to overcome let alone that it's a gay couple.There is also an religious extremis mother in the mix that as the title of the story suggests makes Alec want to get the hell out of town much to Finn's disappointment. Circumstances years after high school reunite the pair and hear is where I'll leave it before I reveal too much.Despite the frustrations you grow to love the characters (and dislike a few) and that is the strength of this story. Highly recommended.

Normally I would agree with that as I asked the same thing.But in his previous story he "ended" it and titled it Epilogue but then voila a bonus Christmas chapter showed up. Maybe he's mulling something like that over.And Hmm Christmas is fairly close so @Demiurge if thats in the back of your mind take your time 😄 Opps right after I posted this I see complete me and my big mouth😄

Now you're trying to show up @chris191070

I always thought being dead that you would not have to worry about cut throat business practices. It really is universal

There really would not be any reason for Alec's dad not to be there. The Larsons showed up early before his dad but I do see why you would think he wasn't there

It's cool that Marie gets to see Spain for the first time. I'm concerned John didn't say anything to his wife about the doctor visit.Maybe he just want to enjoy the trip but I hope he's not holding anything back.

Thank you for a great story with a great ending. Only one small thing I bet Kenji's arrival would have been an interesting and I bet one of the Larson clan would have asked about his "business". Alec deserves happiness for what he endured and Finn deserves it for all the effort and patiences he had with Alec. BTW put the "complete" tag up I can't wait to give this the deserved 5 stars

Without the cowboy hat I sort of picture Finn looking like that

That one along with Its a Wonderful Life and all those different versions of A Christmas Carol

Here's another thing Huntington probably doesn't know in addition to getting a whole pact after him.That scar Kage left if Huntington tries to trap E that scar will heat up and it would sort of work like spidey sense.When Huntington realizes how bad he F__ked up it will be too late

Oh!..........Well you see I have to be at that event at that place on that day at that time.I have no idea when I'll be back

Can I be your new Beta Reader? You might need one now

I'm sure like the other readers I see no reason for this capture. I'll take a wild guess which will probably be wrong .The Captain is a bounty hunter of sorts and someone curious of Charlie and the gang wants to find out more.But really I have no idea

Again just like last chapter with the house after what they have been through eventually agreeing on furniture should be a piece of cake in a sense they are just like any other couple in that regard. So Finn is going to graduate? What is the plan ?To open his own place or work with somebody who already has an established practice?While maintaining his interest in the gym. I know read the next chapter I'm beginning to get unnerved by Kenji's business of....business why all the secrecy?

It takes one to write about one.(sorry😄)

What? You don't believe in safe sex??
