Thanks, Danilo. I know it was a bit gruesome, but it lets you know what to expect from here on in. I hope you like this series as much as you have the Castaway series.
Flash had bonded with Wyatt, Hayden and Hunter, and Dobby had done the same with Tristan and Revin, and now he seems to be adding Xander too. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the feedback, flesco. Yes, the boys are enjoying the tree house, Xander's fitting in nicely, and the boys have been very accepting of him. And the Currie clan is continuing to grow and expand. Not only at the Hotel, but Cole and Beth are expecting as well and will be adding yet another grandchild. Don't worry, you'll hear plenty about Josh and Jake's trip to Atlanta to visit Nick and Shannon. I hope you find all of it interesting.
Jim, you're very welcome and that came about due to suggestions from the readers. They wanted to hear about some of the older family members and learn what they were up to.
The boys were hyper from the minute they woke up on Thursday morning, although we got them to settle down slightly while they were eating breakfast.
“We can’t wait to do this,” the twins said in between bites.
“Yes, I can tell.”
“Should we start taking stuff up there when we’re done eatin’?” followed Tristan.
“You can take your sleeping bags up there, and then you can take up the lantern and your laptops. We’ll leave the snacks and drinks until after lunch, because Dion still
Thank you, jarquafellmu. I'm glad you're enjoying the new book and the fact that Xander and TJ are not part of the Currie clan. That's an interesting suggestion about Graham bringing closure between TJ and his mother, but that would have to happen far in the future. I'm not sure how old TJ would have to be in order to understand what Graham might be trying to do, but it's a definite possibility. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks, flesco. Yes, the boys have been great in dealing with Xander, but they've had great role models. I think most of them know what it's like to be on the receiving end, so they go out of their way to make sure they don't do it to anyone else. I think you've also put your finger on a problem - capitalism is good up to a point, but we it becomes all about return on investment and make obscene amounts of money to the point where they don't care about the rest of society, that's the drawback. There has to be a hapy medium between those two goals. Thanks again for your feedback.
Half of the mystery from the previous chapter has become clear. Richard had two more boys who needed a good home, and Xander will get one with Danny and Brandon, while baby TJ will grow up in the loving care of Dion and Trey. I'm sure the love and support they each receive from the Curries will help them get past the rough hands they'd been dealt, and in Xander's case the abuse and embarrassment he's had to endure. Thanks again for the feedback.
Thanks again, flesco. Yes, Josh time with Frankie and Carolyn went very well and there were some very touching moments between them. The grandsons are definitely happy that Josh is back home, and like most kids, they're eager to show them their new toy, in this case the tree house. There are also a few mysteries awaiting them, such as what Richard wants to speak with them about and why Cole and Beth invited Josh and Jake over for dinner. I'm sure that will all be resolved soon - hopefully to everyone's satisfaction. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks Tony. I'm glad you're continuing to enjoy this story. There's a lot more to come.
Sorry about the duplicate response. It didn't seem to be working, so I hit the send button again. Oops. lol
