Dottie's in the doodoo. Can't wait to see what happens next. What will Billy do? Huggie or Dottie?

Me too. Just got back to it and will try to squeeze in a chapter between tasks at work. Very naughty.

A great chapter with Alec seeing clearly how Hugo has changed. Dottie must be incandescent with rage after this.

Ah. OK. Answered by the author himself! 👍 My thoughts were: It would be a risk to Stoker. While yes, she has a watch which means if he shoots her she won't reset when he resets time... There runs the risk of what will happen to Stoker. Hugo has run out of bullets by the end of his dance and needs to reload, something the agents in the room would never give him a chance to do. And Miller was still positioned to kill Stoker. If he shot Dottie and she died, and time reset with her still being dead. Then we can picture Stoker being at Miller's mercy there. And if he is outright killed as a reprisal that's game over. What Hugo does here is prove that he cannot out right resolve this situation on Dottie's terms. But he needs her to keep thinking one week by one week. D-day is elegantly brilliant, and simple. Tomorrow we arrive at D-day. So yes, killing Dottie is satisfying here, but wouldn't accomplish what he needs. And he is desperate to avoid hurting Stoker in the process. He has, however, won a victory. Now to win a war.

Agreed. What would have happened if he had also killed Dottie? Would this not solve rhe issue?

Henry is a real hero in this. With a watch will he assist Hugo and give the watch to Stoker? Will Hugo and Stoker still be able to travel together with a different watch?

Hugo is an amazing man, loyal, kind and patient. He has found a way in but will he need to do this with all Dottie's agents or just Billy?

Billy is an intriguing character. Let's see how he can help Hugo do what needs to be done.

This is getting too complicated for my limited intelligence. But loving it anyway 😆

Desperate times call for desperate measures. What will Hugo and Alec do?

A brilliant ending to this part of the story. Kat is such an idiot and hopefully he does have a few nightmares 🙄 Best wishes to Ryder and Danny as they take over leadership if the pack. Still interested in seeing Danny shift.

A job well done Mr Biker. First times can be breath taking or nondescript. This one is in the former category.

🔥

What will they find in the village and do they have the ability between them to defeat any adversary?

So much relies on Ray! Renato is going to be a very loyal assistant.

They've bonded! 🥳 🎉 and they can now hear each other's thoughts. Vince has a big job ahead of him, keeping Jack and Theodore on the straight and narrow. Loving this!!

This new way of communication with the help of Thomas, the Mirror Boy, is incredibly powerful and bothe spirits would have been lifted. As for the strip tease - enjoy every moment! 😆 I hope rhe agents get a huge eyeful!

Yep. I don't think Alec would have had much interest in mirrors. Other than to check himself out that is.

Henry is a good egg indeed.

The cleverness of both author and readers leaves me wondering if im living in some kind of stream. Hopefully Henry can tutor and mould Hugo into the warrior, professor he needs to be to outwit Dottie and save Alec, the love of his seemingly immortal life.

I stand in admiration @drpaladin We have hope for Hugo and Alec afterall.

In Kate the Bride, Hugo not only has a dear and loyal friend, but a powerful weapon and the means now, to study Dottie, identify her weakness and strike!

This is earth-shatteringly, marvelously wonderful news! ❤️ You have a beautiful maze of a mind Mr Lydon.

Both poignant and hot as hell. Hugo will keep needing to remind Alec in advance that they know each other. Very convoluted, but it might win back Hugo's anchor and north star 🌟 and defeat daft, dangerous Dottie.

I'm so glad that Hugo is with Madam Woo and the Bride. These two ladies together will prepare him to rescue Alec and defeat Dottie. And she will become known as Dottie the Defeated, Dottie the Daft and other nice names.
