From everything we learned? Yes. Shes looking up from hell and laughing.

Just going to leave this here.

Literally screamed like a 14year old girl. These two are on fire. They are on the same page. There is no miscommunication or other unhealthy traits building up. The only real issue was not telling Perry's (which I understand) family and Ava was like "hold my beer".

They definitely know about Perry and Kyan so I wonder why it's still on the shhhhh? One thing at a time. Luckily we know it's all good, so when it comes out that he and Perry are an item, Kyan will see he has even more support than he realizes.

Gracie's moments:

Kyan met Dayna because it was the only way to get to her family. He needed Perry to love and her parents to be loved by. He needs Jessica as a sister, support, and sounding board, and Charlie so he could be an awesome uncle and have an amazing cousin for his kids. His life wasn't meant to be with her, but to be with her family. That became abundantly clear in this chapter.

This chapter was incredibly sweet. Things are falling into place perfectly. I'm impressed with how mature Kyan is being. We all thought Kyan would run for the hills, but he's been consistent and constant in his pursuit of Perry. As always I'm looking forward to the next chapter

Max said this in a previous chapter "It might be a good change for me, honestly. I have a habit of being attracted to conceited assholes.” What if Reid is the conceited asshole? If he's not then he should be. Sounds angsty.

Kyan unintentionally used Dayna. Dayna was jealous of Perry. Perry had unrequited feelings for Kyan. Oh to be young again.

And because the kids are so adorable, I want to give a little shout to each of them.

Kyan didn't have to tell them any such thing but he obviously wants Perry and until he can gather his wits and say as much, he cannot let anyone get close. He does not need another Max on his hand. If only Kyan knew how little thought Perry gave the man. Zero. Perry gave him Zero thought. His entire world is Kyan.

Perry's POV was a nice change. As expected, he's been harboring feelings for along time. It makes me think his parents probably know? Noah is nine-ish? A decade is a long time to not notice your handsome and successful son hadn't dated since Kyan came into the picture. Information on Dayna is trickling in very slowly. Half of me expecting some big revelations coming. This unparticular got my spidy senses tingling. Dayna almost seems reckless, like she has no regards for how this situation might affect Kyan. If I was Kyan, I might feel like I'm being thrown into a lions den. The family could hate him for getting their baby pregnant. The situation could have been handled with far more finesse than Dayna gave it.

Love this prospective

Some of these comments blow my mind

A part of Kyan was catapulted back to high school when he should have been discovering this stuff, but instead he was was becoming a father. Almost like a factory reset. He displayed all the emotions a teenager feels and he handled thing like a teenager would. This is no knock on Kyan! On the contrary, I found it fitting. Kyan was insecure, unsure, a little clingy, excited, impatient. He was exploring this new relationship the way he never had the opportunity to do. Hopefully that is not a sign of things to come, but I’m definitely giving him a pass for now. Perry is a master. He’s been around the block and his experience showed. He knows how to handle Kyan. Perry does walk the line between meek and alpha. I dig it a lot. Max, he will get his moment.

I knew there was significance there, but it wasn't until your comment that it clicked for me. But you are absolutely spot on. It gives me hope that Kyan is processing it better than I gave him credit for.

I agree that it is not a friends with benefits situation, but I have a feeling that will be the guise for a while. It is easier to cling to then the truth, which could and WILL change the entire family dynamic.

My mom always cleaned my room and changed my sheets growing up. When I moved out on my own it never occurred to me that I needed to do it. I always showered at night and I know that is not good logic, but it was not until my college roommate mentioned that he changed his bedsheets every 2-3 weeks that the dots connected. I'm not going to say how long I slept on my sheets for. It wasn't 3 years...but it wasn't not 2... I'm only admitting this because it was almost twenty years ago. #kyanisnotalone

For the record, I am not on a school bus. I am on an adult public transportation bus lol. I'm double old enough to read this chapter.

What a chapter. The chemistry between these two was off the chart like we knew it would be. I almost combusted when Perry did the final shot of tequila off Kyan's 🍆. I think these two could have a lot of fun. Perry seems very concerned about it all and I don't blame him. If he's harbored feelings for years, he has more to lose if things go south. I imagine he has a pretty complex pro and con check list in his head. I admit I'm relieved there wasn't any big drama in this chapter. I want them to enjoy this and grow closer! It's all new and excited for our Perry but he needs to wake up and realize it's more than that. Oh, and how excited is Perry for Hawaii? lol

I am blushing profusely on the bus right now. I hope no one is reading over my shoulder... Tequila shot will never be the same.

I do think good things will come. MrsG might make us pull our hair out, but she wouldn't leave him hanging.

Got busy at work but I want to circle back to Max. What does Max do? Why the security system? This piqued my interest. A story for Max was mentioned. We don't know anything about him, but I hope that whatever is happening will be a catalyst for him and his future happiness. I agree with Doha that there was absolutely no Malice. I think his actions came from a place of panic. When you feel unexpected things, you react unexpectedly. I think he and Max will need to have a heart to heart but I think Max will be incredibly understanding.

If this wasn't a solid 3 years of my life ,I don't know what was.

One of these days I will be first. Mark my words. I'm gunning for it, just to collect the award.
