    Chapter 3

    Johnny is learning that it is those quiet moments, those small moments that can actually matter the most. They help show you and perhaps those around you, who you really are, what you are made of. Slice of Napoli sounds like my kinda place.
  2. I mirror most of the questions that @drsawzall asked. But I am glad that Dante and Frank came together, I do hate that there seems to be a distance between Alice and Dante, however. That said, perhaps time will heal that wound, or at least lessen it. I never cared much for Matthew, and this did nothing to improve my opinion of him. Hate that Sam has issues, but again, perhaps time and medicine can help. Glad that Carolyn is still with us all. Equally glad that Britney seems to have flown the coop. What about Sarah?
  3. I really like that Alex and Neil are opening up about their past and getting to know what got them to the point they are at now. It is the small choices and twist of fate that leads you to your current life. Rarely is a grand plan all it was meant to be. I can imagine that it would be hard with everything spending 20 something years viewing their life choices one way; and then something happens and all of the sudden, another path opens up. Can't wait to see what happens next.

    Disturbia

    Sounds like Will's first movie with a good role is going to turn out really great. He just needs to keep his head down and continue to learn and absorb what he can from those around him. Austin is getting way to clingy, I am honestly surprised Will was as nice about it as he was. Will and Travis really clicked in this chapter, but I can't wait for Will to get to Australia and spend some time there. Of course, Travis will be in in LA working on the movie, but they will still talk, just have to handle the time change properly. Can't wait to see how this movie shoot goes for Travis, hope he is able to stay on an even keel during it. It isn't so much the movie that worries me, but more Palisades because of how he is basically the character he is playing on it.

    Chapter 16

    They got the information to Duncan, let's hope he is able to act to wrap up the woman and at least some of her partners and product. Sam is a little too free with information, he has no idea if the guard he spoke to was in the employee of those they were seeking to stop. I am sure the woman had at least attempted to recruit a few of the watch and the guards, history would say she was at least partially successful. Graeme still refuses to believe what Sam said under the influence of the ash was the truth, but it was...

    A Housewarming

    Triplets, do they not know what causes this and how to avoid it. LOL Sounds as if the next generation is going to be ready to go.

    Chapter 9

    I can see so many ways that this could go wrong; but damn, it could go right and be so hot it is more scalding than the ginger in the oil. Xavier apologized to Aaron, and Aaron made sure he understood and they were good. Xavier apologized for a few past mistakes, and Aaron made sure he knew that he already knew them all. Sade helped Austin get his things from his cabin and take them to Xavier's. Austin wants Xavier on some level that I don't think he even understands yet. Can't wait to see how this will play out.

    John

    So, Frank surprised John more than Danica; or at least, in a totally different way. John, I think, had hoped that Dante had children and was able to keep them with him, something John had been unable to do. I think that Frank will make sure that Dante realizes that John was more caught off guard but Frank than truly disapproving or disappointed. Danica realized quickly, just what a big role that Frank plays in Dante's life. I do hope that Dante makes a move to know and connect with Dotty, I think more than even John maybe, she needs Dante in her life on some level that maybe she doesn't even realize yet. John realized how much the gift meant to Dante, let's hope that it is a bridge between them. Loved this.

    Palomar

    Does Palomar even know what or whom he wants? Is he confused, or just worried about getting involved with Granger. He seems to draw him in one minute and then push him back the next. I am getting whiplash. Granger is definitely saddled a few officers and midshipman that he will either find a way to correct their deficiencies, or find a way to get them off the ship; but can he do that without them sabotaging him first? Hope the day was all you could have hoped for... Happy Birthday @Mark Arbour

    Chapter 2

    I think sometimes it is hardest when you are still caught up in one world, even as you long to be in another. You feel the pull holding you where you are, but knowing it isn't what is meant to be. Moving forward, actually making that decision can be the hardest thing to do. But once you do, freedom.
  11. The US handled the COVID situation horrible. It sounds as if perhaps Australia did a better job of it. Glad to see Kieran got his business up and running a little bit during this time, let's hope it carries over as the restrictions ease. Had worried about Charlie, those in service positions like his had such a high risk of infection because they dealt with so many more people. Thank god, no rabbit died, and Ruth had just moved on, but then so has Kevin. Toby is in love, ah, the joy of young love. And Patrick is here, can't wait to see how he can sprinkle some sparkle around.
  12. Thanks for reminding us how many great stories and authors are out there in unexpected places.

    Chapter 15

    Graeme was able to work himself free, and in a way, so did Sam, the ash, allowed him to speak the truth. I wonder if their description of the woman will be enough for someone to know her, of course, tying her to that particular factory, might be enough but we will see. Can Sam resist the pull of the ash?
  14. So, Frank was a surprise to the Sapphires, but not to me. While I adore Frank, no food can be too spicy, he would just have to learn to deal with it. This visit went better than I would have ever expected. And I could honestly see a few more in the future. We need some filler in the next chapter, not sure about the phone call or text, but felt that I was totally lost for a moment. Just wonderful.
  15. A lovely chapter, Neil finally makes a move, and it turns out they both enjoyed it. Where will it go, who knows at this point. Has Neil truly never been attracted to a man before? I guess it happens, but seems to me that late 20's is a little late for a true first attraction. Can't wait to see what happens next with these two.
  16. Forget your 40's, wait till your 60's, you don't have to worry about an alarm, because you never sleep and if you do set a reminder, you can't remember what the reminder was for. LOL As always, thanks for the look back at the week.
  17. Well, I do wish that Kevin had talked to Ruth, really afraid the rabbit died. I am so impressed with how Kieran and Charlie both handled the situation with Toby. Being sixteen is hard enough without being different at all. Kids and well, really the whole world can be so vicious towards anyone that they perceive as different. Seems to me, from what I can remember, Australia was not hit as hard as some by Covid. Let's hope that everyone in our groups stay safe and end up being okay.

    Chapter 1

    Well, if he has been the top surfer for as long as this seems to indicate, he should be set for life, unless he was unwise. That should give him the freedom to do something that appeals to him the way surfing did for so long. Can't quite get a read on Bruce Buck, but the way he is able to pull Johnny along for the night says something about his gravitational pull.
  19. I actually got to see the Met production of Werther with Jonas Kaufmann and Sophie Koch. Simply smashing, although I did have a few issues with Kaufmann playing the role, but damn was he good. I can't wait to see how this story idea develops. But more interesting to me, is Neil's slow spread into Alex's life. I even think the fact that Neil is so reticent to discuss certain areas of his life is drawing Alex in a little more. I just love Lila. Can't wait for the next update.

    Chapter 8

    A few questions answered, but more to come. Who is behind the rogues? Is it because there is no Alpha designate? How big is the pack here on the island? Were the rogues just that, hired guns, or were they all from a pack or area? I am starting to think that Austin and Aaron might be more alike than anyone realized. Has anyone else realized the heat between Austin and Xavier? Oh, just so much going on.
  21. Travis had done such an amazing job of recovery from the debacle of the gift; but then in a moment his insecurity got the best of him. I worry that when the pressure mounts, and it will because he will just get hotter and bigger as he gets more exposure; that he won't be able to handle it without back up, but being on opposite coasts means that Will won't be near enough to tell when he is sinking. Will needs to do a better job of listening to how Travis is talking rather than what is necessarily being said. Excellent chapter, but I see choppy seas ahead.
  22. Let's hope a couple of truly honest conversation can be had and some truths spoken and some feelings repaired. Some need to be able to start to heal from occurrences in the past, and work towards a way to move forward.

    Chapter 14

    Well, I think I might well have picked a time when the forge was not so much in use.
  24. Can't wait to see who all does participate and what they come up with...
