Malaria, if that's what this is, certainly can recur. Sucks for Granger.
-
We'll see about that. Quinine isn't a cure, it just treats the symptoms. We can hope it works.

Will knows all about safe sex. He's not into barebacking. :-)

People can change if they want to; especially teenagers. I'm sure that Marie will figure this all out once she's done being a petulant bitch. I'm sure Claire will too, once she isn't so defensive. And that defensiveness is what JP was trying to explain to Will when he told him there was a reason for being polite.
-
You? Teary-eyed? Wow. :-) I understand what you're saying about JP/Stef and their generation vs. Will's generation. I think it shows how far the LBGT community has come.
-
Ah, but that is so typical of being a parent. Fighting for your kids, and wanting to do the best you can for them. In this case, 'the best' has yet to resonate with Claire.
-
Too funny! I completely agree with you on the dedication. Claire and Marie should both have been there. Period.
-
I think that if Will does develop a bond with Claremont, it will be because of either a bond due to a guy he's with, or a residual obligation he feels to JP.

It's a bit of a fantasy, hoping those who leave a town and strike it rich will come back and save the town, but it's nice to think that would happen.

You knew his luck had to run out.

February 1798 Granger watched his convoy as they labored under heavy seas and high winds. This had to be a monsoon that was hitting them, and although it was the end of the season, it was a potent force. “All rigged for storms, my lord,” Humphreys shouted. Granger just nodded, as there was no need to expend extra energy on words when a gesture would do. All three ships lay hove to, and that made Granger cast his eye about nervously, looking for land, or for some

There was some whining about the type for Chapter 8, so I bolded the type for Chapter 9. That's why it seemed a bit different. Didn't stop the whining though. For those who are unhappy, feel free to request a refund.
-
I think that it really was tacky for Claire and Isidore not to attend the dedication, but that shows where their minds are right now. JP is treating Will like Yoda treated Luke Skywalker. :-)
-
This is our last JP chapter for a bit, but he'll be back.
-
Glad you liked it! I figured this revival thing made sense, since it was attempted in many Rust Belt towns/cities. We're pretending that it worked here.

June 30, 2001 “And what is on our agenda today?” Stef asked as we settled into the limousine. The weather here in Claremont was already muggy. “We’re going sightseeing,” I told him. He waited for me to continue, but realized in the end that if he wanted to know more, he’d have to prod me. He gave me an irritated look. “And what are we going to see?” “We are going to tour the Claremont Mills,” I explained. The Claremon

That's a good point...JP does seem older. Good. He is. He was supposed to sound that way. An achievement for the day! :-)
-
You make some great points. That's the deal with a kid who's almost 15...even if he's mature, he's going to have episodes where that fails him. Makes him seem a bit bi-polar.
-
Not everyone agrees with you about Will, but I do. The thing is that everyone loves Tonto, but to get someone like that, you have to have a Will type teenager.
-
Not all academics are like that. (POUTS). :-)
-
You raise an interesting point here, and it devolves into the world of gender issues and biases. It's a good point.
-
Sorry about the type. Times New Roman would have been more appropriate for JP the academic, but it isn't an option on GA Stories. Control + or Command + works wonders. I think Will thrives on being at Escorial with JP and Stef especially. The others are probably so much white noise to him. (Oh, and add Wade and Nana to the list).
-
Sometimes people are shallow. These ladies certainly are acting that way. You mentioned Will's vulnerability. I think he really idolizes JP, so disapproval from him is soul-scorching. Marie probably hasn't put JP up on a pedestal like that.

I'm seeing a 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix.
