Hi Mark, I hope you are doing well and feeling better. Mari

I'm all caught up in CAP world and now so sad that Zac and Will will be another turkey dump (maybe). However, Dally sounds interesting. I wonder if the naked Buzz pics will end up somewhere they shouldn't? My anxiety level is getting high like it did in Millennium. Great work laying out the preface Mark.

The bright spot in any day, new chapter from Mark Arbour! I'm loving that Will is featured so prominently again, I'm loving his charming and devious behavior. The trust JP and Stef have put in him is astounding and very impressive! (I'm guilty of not yet reading this forum so forgive me if I'm going over old news) I am despising Brad more and more every day. I'd be ok if he fell off a cliff or got attacked by a shark. I'm eager to read more, thank you for another fantastic story of CAP!

Mark, I haven't yet finished 911 yet, which I am eager to do before starting flux. (Double cornea transplants, hard to read) however, thank you for another amazing CAP storyline and for you and your teams hard work!

That's pretty nasty business setting your cousin up like that. Unfortunately , I don't believe that Marie and Will's relationship will ever recover. Thank you for the quick update. It is a welcome addition to the second day of school !

Thanks for the update! I'm glad Will is taking JP's advice to be cautious . Marie is clearly up to no good. Between her, Ferris and a clueless Noah that could be very very bad. Loved the talk with Stef and Will especially mentioning the paintings I save most of my kids art work, it kills me to toss any of it but I would run out of house if I kept everything. I try to keep the most important and meaningful. The date seemed ok, the last sentence was an unnecessary cliffhanger!!! Bad Mark! Didn't Will have a STD/HIV test with Kai around 2 weeks ago? It would have shown up then I think. I hope he is clean. It kind of ruins the image if he has a STD. Poor Eric, he got screwed over bad.

Happy Anniversary! You clearly put a lot of heart and soul ( along with your team ) in every chapter released. I thank you for the countless hours spent in front of the computer reading and rereading.

Damn. You packed alot into that chapter! First , thank you for the early posting, it was VERY appreciated! I can't believe how well the dinner party went, just as it should, JP's thoughts on his family are always as amusing to us as it appears to be to him. Will going on a real date with Eric looks to be good (this is his first real actual date I think?) I laughed reading his flashbacks on the night before. All the family interactions were so in depth and well written, you are so talented ( I know you already know that ) The ceremony on 9/11 is masterful! I hope Will doesn't die but.....you never know. Can't wait to see what unfolds in the next chapter and for the eventual return of Tony and possibly more of Brad vs. Will wars.

Wow, Stef is going to be devastated when he figures out how much he messed his relationship with Will up. I really enjoyed JP's thoughts. I hope we get to see dinner at Kai's and see through JP's eyes what he thinks about Will's good deed. What Will did was so thoughtful and really expands his character. Maybe he can explain how he's so drawn to Kai's family life to Brad (not that it would make much difference). I loved the door politics! I can just see Stef and Malcom's faces now,lol.

From what I remember they just made out, jj came back in the room and interrupted them before it went past kissing. I have no clue what the bases are. Care to define?

Isidore is looking like a better person, I'm glad she's staying at Escorial. Somehow it wouldn't be the same otherwise and certain people (Will) would probably feel guilt about that. I'm apprehensive about Marie and what she may be up to. I can see her telling her classmates about Will's unfortunate situation in Paris the year before. That would be uncomfortable. I'm sure Brad is going to do something about Will and most likely nobody will like it Love the door issues, lol! That'll teach him. I like Kai , he seems good for Will but he doesn't seem to be as personable as some of Will's other guys. The Tony situation is bothersome. I used to love his character and now I wouldn't mind seeing him in NY next month. Except I don't mean that since Tony and Will might end up back together...with Tony's affairs on the side.

I don't think Malcolm was taken advantage of. Nothing (to me) in what was written said 'No , I don't want to do this, please won't someone save me?' I think Malcolm throwing his arms around Will's neck before they even kissed is a good indicator he wanted it. Now I can see how the situation could have been different and the employee could have been pressured to give it up to keep the job but this is not the case here. I don't think this is even similar to rape at all,that would be out of character for Will, as written by the author. The hair pulling and man handling is just a kink some people like to do, and just sometimes. Just like handcuffs and whips. Or sensual massage. If they hook up again, maybe it will be sweet lovemaking in front of a roaring fire on a bed strewn with rose petals. I'm hoping for the sling though

I'm so glad Kai's not a hustler! Will handled that very well, if he had reacted badly Kai would probably not forgive him. Will has always had good character so I'm not really surprised that he wanted to hang out there with Mano and Kai. I like the two contrasts between sexual conquests. One was pure dominating lust and the second was more of an emotional connection. I hope Kai doesn't get too upset when he finds out about Malcolm. LOL @ the sling, Brad's going to love that. I am curious to what happening back on the homefront with the three witches of Escorial? I wonder if any change has been made? I keep thinking they are going to ship Will all his belongings now that he has his own home. Next is the Jeanine and Hank visit. I bet that's going to go over well. Thank you for chapter! I think you now have me trained to check my phone for new email from GA every hour during the night. Well worth the sleep deprived nights!
