    Ruins of the Past

    Paladin commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in Ruins of the Past

    Jack becoming a wolf was hinted back in Chapter 28: Jack stopped for a moment. He did have tiny claws. And his hands weren’t exactly the way he remembered them. They were kind of hairy, and hairy was the exact opposite of what Jack was, aka hairless Now both of them have changed, although Vee not clearly one of Theo's pack. The Oak 'Wisdom' Tree complete with it's healing leaves and serpent like creature, nehesh, (but fortunately no apples) is still out there and hopefully will again offer help.

    Very good points from your desk @drsawzall. Natasha wouldn't believe she lives in a glass house, maybe apart from the adultery, which she would prefer everyone to ignore. And as you indicate the divorce is finalized. They are no longer married. A money grab could be high on the cards although it would face the legal and financial resources Martin has to defend it.

    True to some extent but unfortunately that shielding can create problems much later in life including PTSD. Care of young minds is important.

    Martin is very happy to have three children, two of whom are close to being adults. Martin is reluctant to disclose much about his status/wealth but information is going to leak out, and yes extortion is a possibility.

    I like! Natasha doesn't see herself as a predator, just someone who needs to control because right is on her side. We all know people like that. 😉

    Not so sure about warming up, but she hasn't gone away.

    Grandpa has another Jaguar? What's his insurance cost?

    Chapter 12

    Paladin commented on Mark Ponyboy Peters's story chapter in Chapter 12

    Charlie is experiencing Sydney from Bondi to Newtown. Interesting variety. First visit to a gay venue with a quality drag show is potentially overwhelming but unforgettable. Charlie is lucky to have supportive guides.

    Unfortunately, it will take a while for that to happen.

    Ben did have another reason to move out.
  12. Paladin
    All correct @mayday
  13. Paladin
    Ben will not be living with Natasha but she can still cause problems for him. Rick and Simon living so close will be supportive for Martin and the boys.
  14. Paladin
    Yes the young ones are now feeling loved and accepted so they can be playful. Do you really think a cat would stay and put up with Natasha's controlling nature? Nah 🙀

    Martin is starting to open up about himself to Benjamin and Justin, but there is still more for them to discover. Noah is younger and straight. He doesn't have an exit plan and is stuck with Natasha. At least he'll get an allowance!

    When they met they would have been young university students (well at least Martin would have been). At that stage of life the thought and physicality that Martin brought to his relationship to Natasha would have been the inverse to that of his studies.
  17. Paladin
    Natasha is really only interested in herself. She doesn't see the whole picture. Martin is able to be relaxed and manage her here because he is no longer in a relationship with her. Being in a relationship , especially romantic, usually dulls someone's ability to be objective in managing the other person. Martin has left that baggage behind and has nothing to lose here as he watches Ben transfer his belongings to the car ready for his permanent move. None of that means that Natasha can be ignored.
  18. Paladin
    Yes, recurrent. It's nice to see the regional hospital still exists although without an ICU. Back then it was a dangerous illness for an infant so you were lucky to have such help close by.
  19. Paladin
    Yes, Ben wasn't fazed to learn that his grandmother had a secret lover. He seemed to see it as a badge of honour. I believe there is a younger generation out there who are more accepting of sexuality and sexual behaviour than older generations. Martin's "straightness" does become an issue. Justin is intelligent and observant. He is joining the dots.
  20. Paladin
    Yes @Davide when you meet her she is worse that you expected and Ben certainly put his relationship with Justin in perspective. She's been lying to everyone and probably including her current boyfriend (the one she went on holidays with). She cant take anything to court because her modus operandi doesn't include having evidence. Eventually she will discover how rich Martin is. Maybe too late.
  21. Paladin
    But much more than a 24 hour bug and contagious for others.
  22. Paladin
    Yes @Summerabbacat she is bitchy, manipulative, lying, opportunistic, gay-hating, and not at all strategic. She wants control through deception and manipulation and as such will continue to be a thorn until blunted. She will be around for some time and will be involved in some real threats but will eventually become irrelevant to Martin and those around him, and become a problem for others.
  23. Paladin
    Yes while lacking in self perception, she is very manipulative. Remember that they married nineteen years ago when Martin was still young. Young love and all that! But still not his best decision, although the three kids might have reason to think differently.
  24. Paladin
    The odds are certainly stacked up against her if she tries to take anyone it court. But rightest anger and all that (even when it isn't rightest) can lead to who know what.

    Saturday morning matched the mood in the house. Grey clouds and morning drizzle cast a gloom over everything. They picked at breakfast. Uncharacteristically the adolescents lacked appetite. They all knew what they had to face and knew they had to face it. However, Justin was to stay in the car and not go to the house. Benjamin had packed a lot of his stuff and hopefully it was still packed and ready to move to the car. The morning was still grey and overcast with a slight drizzle as Martin
