I am going to be so upset if Pelipi is truly dead. I am glad that Kosephaji and Relliduna are safe; but to lose their friend like this is just horrible. And what is it with the guards, hitting people that are trying to get off a sinking ship? What is going on...

Oh, no....

WOW, a scene worthy of a Bond movie. What a rescue and escape. And I am sure that JP had everything figured to the second. Love Charles and Elise, and I do think that she is cooler than he is. LOL. Have to admit; I am shocked that the underground and buses ran on time; such a rare occurrence. Eurostar is usually more in time. Being at sea as long as they maintained the proper distance would put them out of reach; but in the Mediterranean that is not going to be easy. Glad that Travis kept his files mobile, may prove useful at some point. Travis and Will have a lot to catch up on. This could turn into a floating bacchanalia.

And how will this return effect Bivon and the children? Or will it effect them at all?

Although they faced danger; the two children are know in a safer place. What happens next we will have to wait and see.

Are we sure they hit a reef? It takes centuries for a reef to grow enough that if it hadn't been there at least partially before that it would cause a problem. I have to believe that sailors would know the area they are sailing into; or at least enough to know that reefs were in the area. Let's hope they only lost the one man and that everyone else can get to safety. Really, why can't we have one declaration of love without a mishap...

Wonderful chapter; I was sure that Charlie was more than aware; happy that even if he doesn't fully like the idea, he loves his son and will support him unconditionally. Secrets are hard to keep at that age, kids are more perceptive than they often give each other credit for being. Sounds like a great meal, and the perfect wine. Can't wait to see what happens next.

What a delightful chapter; so nice for all of them to be in a place that they can truly be themselves. Mama was a delight. So open and friendly but then a good barkeep has to be. Hope they get away from the storm, no damage to them or the ship.

Traveling so late on reading this update. I loved this chapter. @Headstall is just amazing at descriptive writing. Truly felt that I was seeing what he was writing as they rode along on the way to the cabin. Lucas is rightly proud of what he has but isn't afraid to admit his mistakes on building the first cabin. How many of them back then had issues; no drawings and google to help learn something. Jubal needs time to get over what happened and decide what his next steps are going to be. He will do what he can for Lucas but then will have to make some decisions. Would be nice for him to recover more of his money, but not holding out much hope for that. Truly wonderful chapter...

So Will has figured out what Travis was trying to do; but the problem is that someone else that Travis was relying on has done the same thing and is attempting an end run around this plans. Brad will fight it out and if the deal makes sense at all; will come out on top. How will Travis react to the fact that Will and his family bought out his Grandfather's company. Yes, I know they plan on arranging him to get it; but still. I love how JP is such a teacher with Will and everyone; it is just truly who he is. He and Will are so much fun when they are together. Plus, with everything going on with Travis; JP keeps Will grounded and offers these delicious little hints on things to do. The Great Escape, London version, I can't wait to see what happens and how JP and Will help Travis get away. JP will have it planned down to the second. The things that almost killed Will when he ran don't bother Travis, and find Travis's musing to be very telling. Can't wait for the next update.

Oh, Hell, someone better have a few explanations ready. I do love how this group seems so open and truly happy with each other; rare in boys of that age. Can't wait to see what happens next.

A delightful tale full of wit and wisdom. Take a moment and enjoy some cheer; I did not find it sad but full of glad and happy thoughts when I finished it. Well written and paced beautifully; hope you all enjoy it and get the meaning behind it and give it forward to all.

What a truly delightful tale. I loved how the old man never forgot that special moment; he looked back on it fondly his whole life. Then at the moment of his end; he finally meet the woman again. We need to remember that chance meeting can change a life; for better or worse. Always try and make sure that your meetings leave a wonderful memory like this.

Not sure that Greg's dad is as clueless or as rigid as he thinks he is. What a great group of guys, just hope that they can all stay friends once the secret is out. Do we start a guessing game about the secret? LOL. Chapter flowed beautifully, and the writing was first rate as well. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Lovely chapter, we got to meet the Sheriff and his deputy and got a little better description of the town and area. Sounds lovely with the three rivers coming together; but I would worry more about flooding. The Sheriff didn't start of trusting; but then with his profession, would not think he would immediately. Jubal was lucky that he had Lucas to back him up on so much of his story. Never thought about a reward for the two they killed; but then, if they had killed others, would stand to reason. Glad that the woman's family that they killed will get some of her things back. Something going on between Lucas and the Sheriff? Ah a tangled web could be ahead.

Greg or Stef could be the Daddy??? Yikes, talk about having family issues; Travis and Will would never survive that. I bet it did happen at Claire and Jack's wedding; but just who could be the Daddy? So glad that Jack decided to come for supper; and especially happy with how everyone acted. I do hope that Claire and Jack can make it work, they both have issues to work out but they always seemed destined to make it. I can't believe how stupid Curtis Buck is; he obviously doesn't understand either Will or Travis at all.

Well, Mauro has unexpected depth and sneakiness. Having Kavan feed from him effected Gideon more than he is willing to admit. I have to say, I feel a little for Gideon. His past has colored his actions more than anyone, even Kavan seems to realize. Returning the sword hurt Konstantin, but then, that was what Kavan was trying to do. I think that Caspian for all his age and experience has made several major mistakes, this was just the latest one and it may well have repercussions beyond what anyone realizes yet. Gideon and Kavan had a talk, but did they really lay everything out, NO. They need to be totally honest with each other, but not sure either is ready for that yet. Ah, a threat that could reveal the hidden world, what is it; and how can Kavan and Gideon help to stop it. Bravo...

Oh, this is moving much faster than I would have thought. Greg is sure of his feeling, if not the depth of them, but knows how his father and so many in his area will react. Scott seems a little more confused by his feelings but more certain that his family will be accepting. Flowed really well, can't wait to see where this goes.

Well, Jubal got part of what was stolen back; but not all. I do hope the sheriff is the man that Lucas seems to think he is and will let Jubal keep the other horse, tack and what was found; well maybe not the all of it, a shawl doesn't seem to fit him. Jubal already feels comfortable talking to Lucas more than he thought, but not with telling him everything. His past must have more issues than we have seen so far. Hope that they find a way to be open with each other about everything. Well, two dead men, their loot, and on the way to see the sheriff. Don't think there is any Dorothy here, but sounds like the beginning of an interesting story. Let's see what the sheriff has to say...

This whole chapter was mysterious and beautifully lyrical.

Interesting start to the story; first chapter already has characters that are already drawing you into the story. Pacing was good and the writing was as well. Already somethings to think about, and some interesting incongruities.

Oh no.... Once again, those trying to do the right thing are struck down. Let us hope that they are not both dead...

Lonklam and Ronging are both truly monsters and must be destroyed. The son was an innocent; but the father knew what kind of monster he was dealing with and continued to do so. Why is it always the innocents that pay the price.

Okay, well both groups are making some progress and do love that the Benefactors turned out to be Atlas Bears... I can't wait to see what happens next. The Lion Emperor is going to have to be eliminated, but who will take his place. So many questions answered but so many new ones and others that are still open ended. Just WOW...

Of course you do, I am brilliant...
