  1. LETS!
  2. Thank you @JLynch Sorry for the heavy meal but I wanted to start with a bang! Hope you enjoy the following "dishes".
  3. Your comments always manage to encapsulate the chapters beautifully, @Danners ❤️
  4. Ryan woke with a heaviness that seemed to anchor him to the bed. His limbs were sluggish, and his eyelids were weighted as if the very night had wrapped itself around him and refused to let go. He blinked several times, trying to clear his head, before finally dragging himself upright with a groan that felt carved out of his chest. His fingers raked through his disheveled hair before he rubbed a hand over his face, exhaling sharply. The sheets were still tangled around him as he swung his l
  5. I think I've said this before @Cane23 but it bears repeating. You are definitely reading what I'm writing!
  6. Life's unpredictable. The boys are about to find out just how much...
  7. Hey, beautiful Wanderer! Thank you for stopping by!
  8. The boys definitely reached a turning point. Thank you for reading and commenting @349bdr

    "24 Hours"

    "I don't deserve you," Nate murmured after another stretch where time seemed suspended entirely between them. "You're right. You don't," Caleb answered without hesitation but also without malice or cruelty in how plainly honest those two words came out. "Then why are you still here?" Nate asked, his voice low but weighted, a question that refused to be ignored. His arms were crossed tightly over his chest as though bracing himself for whatever answer might come, his jaw rigid, and his
  10. Amazing insight! @Cane23 You're going there and I love it!
  11. I believe Nate is perfectly aware of Caleb's feelings. And maybe his actions seem contradictory. But there's more to him as a character than meets the eye. 😉
  12. Ding, ding, ding.
  13. (9 years earlier) Jenna sat stiffly on the metal chair, her hands clenched tightly together in her lap. Her face was a patchwork of purples and blues, the bruises creeping along her cheekbone, her jaw, and down the curve of her neck. Her wrists bore red, angry marks. She winced every time she shifted, but it wasn't physical pain that hurt her. The weight of shame, fear, and exhaustion slapped her shoulders, and her gaze dropped to the table. The two cops sitting across from her exchang
  14. All I can say is: you definitely have the right mindset for this story.
  15. "Let them eat cake!"
  16. Don't we all!
  17. Damn, @Cane23 🤯 Caleb and Ryan are definitely byproducts of Nate's behavior and choices. Wrong as they may be, he doesn't want to hurt the boys. But what does he want then...? 🤔
  18. Nate is probably one of the most complex characters I've written. I, for one, am completely enthralled by him. Let's hope he let's me poke inside his head a bit without choking the life out of me...😜
  19. I could say the same about your insights, my friend!
  20. I appreciate the enthusiasm @austinbiguy Ryan is a tough cookie, for sure. But there's conflict there...and a soul. See you on the next chapter!
  21. Easy, tiger!
  22. (10 years earlier) The morning sun stretched lazily over the weathered brick facade of the school that loomed like a fortress before Caleb. The building seemed impossibly tall to his eight-year-old eyes, its towering windows reflecting flashes of light that danced and shimmered as if mocking his hesitation. He stood frozen at the gate, a small figure weighed down not just by the oversized backpack slung awkwardly across his narrow shoulders but by the knot tightening in his stomach. His gre
  23. Caleb's a lover, not a fighter...😉 Unless love is a weapon?
  24. This revelation will definitely shift dynamics between our boys...
  25. I sure hope Nate doesn't find out there's someone named Nolan running around the house. With his temper...😜
