  1. Of course it is possible to love more than one person. That's not saying it is easy, emotionally, if only because it is so complicated relationship-wise.
  2. Instead of asking 'who did this' and other superfluous questions, a telephone call for an ambulance might be more productive....

    Chapter 36

    We are the location. It may not always give us the security and stability we crave, but it definitely is a thought to hold on to, especially if we feel lost.

    New Orleans

    Given a story like this, all guessrs are still viable. That is why I like it.

    Chapter 35

    The ice held... But did it? Perhaps, in this marvellous fantasy. Does it? In real life? The assumption is that the audience listens, watches with the right mixture of reason, and civic, community spirit.

    Chapter 34

    We must pray that in a year's time the house's core stability proves resistant to the hurricane against the shutters....
  7. On the surface, little of import happens. But underneath, various relationships strengthen. Love it.

    London

    Though it's obvious where this goes, I'll gladly go along.

    Chapter 33

    The only difference between a statesman and and a monster... How awfully, awfully true. For in so many countries so many elect the monster because they only see the man who promises them grandeur.
  10. I said I would hate Hudson walking in with one or two kids - apparently the "gay dream". These 12 kids, the essence of Liam's dream, were the dream of all your readers, as was this last chapter. Thank you.

    Chapter 4

    Solace: yes. Companionship: probably. Love...??? Doesn't that come later, doesn't it need proof?
  12. In the Scrabble lines Ryan and him should be me and me, for R is explaining..
  13. How things will develop is obvious. The way(s) the author will describe it is the interesting part. E.g. I cannot imagine chapters describing 28 consecutive days.... Looking ng forward to what happens.

    Prologue

    Tummus, Edmund... gay? Never thought about them like that. Both morally vulnerable, though.
  15. Actually, it really is a Rest Park. Walking towards the pavillion is soothing indeed.
  16. This story has given us much. I hope for many things more. But please, let it not be Hudson coming in with one or two kids. That would be an unbearable violation of what this story really is about.
  17. Well, the scene is set. And a nice one it is, too.

    Chapter 23

    Oh, what would the world be like if we'd be able to destroy those who aim to destroy it...And then ride off into the sunset - and in a DeLorean, too. The ultimate reward!

    Chapter 22

    If only justice could be meted out to all men who use big, golden ballrooms for purposes they're not intended for.

    Epilogue

    "He could barely wait to share the news..." Of course. No jealousy. No philandering Brad. One big happy family........

    Chapter 21

    The Olivier-Orel exchange is hilarious.
  22. With all the details now spread out for the police's and our benefit, we can (re-}start creating our own theories. Lovely stuf indeed.

    "I'm His"

    Splendid. With, of course, Hudson listening behind the scenes.
  24. A beach with palms... In England? But the story doesn't "sound" English... Ko And no vision of life beyond serving in a kiosk!? Maybe if he were my son I'd rather he'd move on a bit. But call me old-fashioned.
  25. No coffee. Only souvenirs. But yet: snacks and drinks. A contradiction?
