Kevin becoming a regular member of the band and potential lead singer is great development. I haven't expected that past will chase him down, but it's good now that he is not alone anymore, he has support.

My favorite chapter till now! It is not just Phil's body that is slowly rehabilitated, it is his soul too. The conversation between Phil and Gary is touching. It is never too late for love, even when physical manifestation of it cannot be as passionate as their younger friends have. Phil has a goal, and reason to live now. There is no better medicine in his age than making plans for the future, embracing life, receiving in it some new people and some people from the past. When Roger said (Phil's memories of his son in previous chapter) 'goodby pops' on their last encounter, I've been thinking there is some chance for them. But now, when all this hate is relieved, I have to sadly admit that relationship with his son is ship that sailed away long time ago. There is hope that new generations, Allen and his son will be more open-minded regarding reunion with Phil.

Where indeed?! Now I'm curious to know what you think that I think that you think @Andr0gene?

Now, I'm intrigued by Adam's pseudonym! Could Kai actually be a secret admirer?! 🤔

Impulse buying! Andrew didn't think much of legality of his deed, his first thought was to save Matt. Later on, he did the only smart think he could do - called the dad! This chapter shows little parts of humanity still existing in Dante. His longing for a 'normal' life and helping Matt have touched my heart. I've been surprised by two years jump, but it nicely changed dynamics of the story. Beautiful chapter @Mikiesboy.

Easy for Aussies to talk!

Finished story! Better indeed, all can be understanded except physical violence - arm twisting is no-no!

Thanx to @Mancunian's binge read, I had a small recapitulation of the previous chapters. Extended awesome4some group is getting bigger so, I'll have to make a list of characters to know who's who! 😁 Well, speaking with kids about adults' things! There's saying, the man who invent perfect upbringing should get a Nobel prize! 😜 Nevertheless, Chris and Andre handled the showering issue the best possible way. Brother Jackie helped too. They are becoming a real family which is the most important thing as signatures on some documents are going to be just formality, a legal form of their love and commitment.

Well, that's what I call A Grand Finale! 😉 Beautiful story, I'm eagerly waiting the next one in series!

Salmonella! Total disaster, believe me!

As you say - this is fiction, so, sky is the limit!

Something anal definitely!

Not bad, not bad at all!

YES, my dear friend, welcome to the one of the most epic discussions at GA in previous year (other was - Who poisoned Caleb? by @kbois) - bloody beddings and bloody, infamous, party! 😂 Poor @Paladin must have been thinking a hundred times - why, o why on Earth have I written about these beddings?! 🤣 We gave him some really hard time about it, but eventually he repaid us with excellent story! And yes...in next ten or so chapters, Andrew is going to mature, he will be forgiven and... beddings and party are going to become a history! 😁

I like Greg and Len. They are so good for each other, especially Len who is very supportive, and, I would say, protective of Greg. It seems to me Greg didn't enjoy much looking at his Nudes. He doesn't see himself on those pictures, he sees the relationship he had with 'dirty' Donald, how he used and exploited him. Hope these photographs will bring him, at least some financial satisfaction after all...but, I would be very, very careful with Mr. H!

Jokes aside, a beautiful chapter indeed! That hug...and kiss, were everything we hoped for! It is going to be interesting to follow their domestic living dynamic, especially when happy sister and doc come for a visit! 😁

Still laughing... Just reading The Butler. I'm completely hooked, except I just want to KILL Gregory!!! First of your stories I have read is Colorado Game on some other site. That is fun soap opera, as I have put in review, exactly what I needed after reading some heavy abusing topics!

Can't beat'em, join'em! 😁

Thank you for your kind words - there's been years since, but still, some things stay for life! I know, I've been Andy... actually, I AM Andy in many things (ok, I wouldn't go as far as meeting mobsters in order to write a book 😉) therefore, by criticizing him, I criticize myself!

I suppose it's not unusual, especially for log time members but I've been surprised, mostly positively but a bit overwhelmed...when a few stories I'm following have been published in a row!!! Thinking on 40°C is not something I'm very good at but...

The chapter that brings more questions than giving answers! A few moments from Carter's past have been relieved, making us wander about his relationship with his father and how did he disappoint him. Similarities between Carter and Ethan are more and more intriguing. I've mentioned possibility of twin brother in previous chapter but, knowing incredible plots @vanalas can make - anything is possible. They could be the same person, with lost memory in tragic events arranged by jealous Dexter. A huge plot, organized by evil masterminds with fake disease, steeling Ethan's corpse (who is not dead actually), erasing his memory ... oh my ... @vanalas, am I good?! 😁

Very sensual chapter. The end of the chapter made me think of Justin as walking disaster. But as he said himself - he has just started living a life, and every beginning starts with learning how to walk first! I hope Scott saves him and close a full circle since the day they first met.

You guys made me read this chapter for a few times again, and then, all Andy's parts from the beginning! I have never agreed with making Andy a bad guy but let's not make him an angel either. Especially because author didn't write him like an angel, he deliberately has made him the way he is - imperfect as human beings usually are. There is no doubt that Andy's relationship with Tony has been going to the dead end since the beginning. Two guys in completely different stages of their life, one focused on carrier, other on parties and, maybe, commitment - no future for them obviously. But then, if you have balls, or class, or you are mature enough...whatever...you break up in third chapter! Even in this chapter, Andy postpones the unpleasant conversation until he contacts parents, friends...ugh, ok, now it time for Tony! Right?! Andy is a lovable character, but let's not defend him from himself or author! I would have been very concerned about Andy's character if he is heartless and feels indifferent about what he did (or didn't do in this case). Andy feels guilty conscience, which is ok, he should feel like that. Once again, it makes him human. Well, Andy, confronting such situations makes us grownups! Let me tell you a story. I've been working in my father's company. He was a great leader and authority; and I was, much like Andy, protected from many unpleasant situations. My father died of heart attack. First day I came to his office after that, I've been watching his empty table, wondering - who is going to pick up the phone and speak to creditors. 'You will, there is no one else', I said to myself. That was the day I grew up!
