First things first, I warned you about a relapse, always harder to get well a second time around. I do hope you get some rest and get to feeling better soon. Wonderful chapter, so full of love and generosity of spirit. Well, a lot more to Barnswallow than any realized, three hundred acres is a nice spread, not much for cattle unless the grass is truly thick and green or you can feed them; but more than enough to get August and Fletcher started. On top of that, money in the bank, and that is never anything to sneeze at. And Harriet opened up about her and Dorothea after she got August and Fletcher to open up about themselves. Glad that she and Dorothea both found happiness again after their marriages and the death of their spouses, not all do. Well, the boys need to get back to Runyan, and we need to find out what is going on with Wilie James, where in the tarnation has he gone to?

Alpenglow? Had never heard of this before, first time in a while that the words of the day had one that I did not know. Sounds gorgeous after I found out what it was, LOL. When I was growing up back in the horse and buggy days, we never started school until after Labor Day; but now days, in my part of Texas, everyone has been back in school for ten days to up to three weeks depending on the level of school it is... Sure, do wish we had some of that rain you or forecast for, most of Texas is still way to dry right now.

I guess the most important question will be, will they leave the bed between now and the challenge? The shift was forced in a really horrible way. Drowning is a horrible way to die, and the body really fights against it; of course, that is what probably brought on the shift, but still. Xavier was so pissed at Aaron and tried to take it out on him. Aaron understood and let him. Did the Alpha's call the other wolves to him or was it just for Xavier?

Damn, have to wonder what is in Miles past that the therapy has dug up? Does it predate the situation with his uncle? Well, you knew this was not going to be rainbows and unicorns, but damn, that was fast.

Travis is a total idiot. Kendo is a dead man walking and doesn't realize it.

Really enjoyed getting the Major's point of view on this, and true bonus points that he so immediately stepped up and did the right thing. Can't wait to see what happens next.

So glad that Evan was able to find a tutor for Neil, and Emmer seems like someone that might be able to really help Neil. Neil knows how to work with wood, he might still learn more; but Emmer will show Neil how to look at his art and the world. Let's hope that Neil finds more confidence in himself, and allows Emmer to lead him forward. Glad that Neil has Alex to help push him to move forward.

The sea has separated Julian and Sam, but we can hope in a few months, the sea will bring them back together. The first group of people that Julian meets at the plantation seem very welcoming and open; honestly, a little shocked by this. I would have thought his father would have had an unpleasant surprise waiting for him, or have we just not seen it yet? And now the work begins, what will Julian be able to accomplish, and what will he be constricted by?

@Headstall, glad you are turning the corner; but take it easy, get some rest, and plenty of fluids. No relapsing.

So glad Daisy survived, maybe we will get the true story of her and Dale. Dale is dead, it took Connor and Jamie and the Orca, but they got it done. The orca saved Jamie. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I have never been one for roughing it so to speak; but there is something to be said for being out in nature with a few friends and being able to skinny dip or just be naked if you wanted and no one saying anything or starting anything. Just being one with nature and connecting to those with you. Matt is in for it. A broken leg, especially when you have to wait that long to get heading to a doctor is nothing to sneeze at, let's hope it is just a simple clean break, and he can be in a cast and deal with it as it comes. This seemed to help Levi get in touch with himself some, and helped him and Matt start to perhaps move past what happened with the car. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Can't wait to see what all of our wonderful authors come up with for this one...

Meg won, she is home and moving forward with her horse and the ranch. She will be the one to take it over and run it. Miles and Troy have graduated, and Troy is heading to college with Miles going along to find work and be with him. Erik is right however; they are way to codependent on each other. They need to find a way for each of them to have interest outside of each other. I see storm clouds gathering ahead.

Julian and Sam have bonded but promises and reality pull them apart at least for a while. We can hope that nothing untold happens. Julian is going into the unknown; he truly has no idea what type of reception he will get or what his father has ordered. He has the gift from his grandmother, and that comes with some security involved, but not a guarantee of it. Sam has made a promise, let's hope he can keep it. The sea is never a kind mistress. Many dangers can occur in even a couple of months. Let's all hope for the best and that Sam is able to keep his promise.

@Myr as always, thanks for the dive... Some outstanding authors and stories in this genre, deserves more love.
