Domenico and Jake seem to be getting closer. And they have made a couple of other friends that seem like they will be great guys to hang around with as well. A circle jerk, not sure four guys qualify, is a great ice breaker. And the guy on the way back to the rooms from the showers seems like someone to keep an eye on as well. Let's hope that these two don't find themselves hip deep in drama, often what happens in private schools like this.

Another delicious tale form @Robert Hugill Characters that draw you in, even the annoying ones, and make you want to really know them. A story that shows in some ways the best and worst of people. How easy it is to just slip into a life and go along knowing you are missing something but not doing anything about it, when BLAM! What makes a group of people a family. What compels some to want more than they need? Why is it so hard to admit what you truly want. Find the answers to these questions and many more within this story.

Sing it Gloria... Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this story. Ludo and Arthur slow dancing into their future together. Damian and Adam deciding their fathers are both a little strange. Jackie realizing what she has lost. And all the rest that they took along for the ride. Bravo.

Marc is making all the right moves and bring Adam and the rest of both families along for the ride Marc knows what he wants and knows which corporations have what he needs to build this company even bigger than before. I do wonder how the mergers will affect the share ratios. Just love this in every way.

Blood and death cried out for vengeance, and it was delivered with fury and without respite. We get to look back once again and get to see the forces that forged Vladimir. With Thomas and Constantine by this side, Vladimir must move past vengeance just as he once had to move past sorrow. He must move forward bringing his companions with him.

Peter learning defense is just the first step. He needs to learn some self-confidence as well. Being able to defend himself better will help with that though, as least I hope so. He just needs practice and to be prepared. Griffin is kind for the sake of being kind, a rare trait in any species. Hali has a good heart; she just wants the best for Peter no matter what. She knows she will not be able to be with him and guide him much longer.

Damain and Adam are at the age they make friends easily, plus both seem to be rather outgoing. Damian took some time while there to make something really nice for his mother, but sure did notice that he said for next time that Ludo was going to see her. Ludo and Adam are just lovely together. Can't help but think that they were simply meant to be. Glad that Hansi seems to be moving on as well. Hope the guys come back here again.

I find the situation with Nathan Upfield very interesting. Not sure where it will lead but doubt that is the last we see of him. Mrs. Potter was precise and matter of fact, I will just about bet her description is close to accurate. The very old and very young are often discounted. Love how little morsels are planted and keep you hungry for more, so well done.

I am a product of all who came before me that truly cared, and I leave those coming after me with the knowledge that it will come again.

Marc and Adam truly are meant to be. Leave it to Marc to find two rarities and in combinations. And just how did that ship get there? Can't wait to see what that is about...

Let's hope that Mike is able to have some level of control over Animal. Don't know what he knows, but we can hope it is enough to keep Animal in his place or get him to back down. Glad that all of this does not seem to have affected Grayson at this job, at least not in a negative way as of yet. Grayson and Raffa seem to be moving at their own pace, and it appears that they are truly in sync.

They seem to be meshing much faster than I would have anticipated. I am sure there will a few bumps in the road, but let's hope these two are able to count on each other to help them through this new experience.

Oh, lovely start, and I can see so many great ways to move forward. Of course, we need to meet all the main characters to get a good go of it, but I am sure that is coming in the next chapter. Already two intriguing characters, a touch of melancholy seems to be in both of them. Can't wait to see where you take this one.

This whole chapter just made me sad in so many ways.

Rarely are those that few themselves as someone with all the answers and knowing the way of the righteous prove to be so. Valen for all his supposed honor has none if he was behind the fire. If you can't fight your enemies face to face, but kill them through backhanded manners, then you have no honor to defend. Vladimir, Thomas, and Constantine will have their revenge.

Going to have to check some of these out.

Will went to his back up, Brad. I think that Will is really confused about what Jeremy did. He knows it was a big deal, but was it enough? Honestly, only time and Jeremy will tell if it was. I am still worried about anything with Thor, I can just seem him going all Fatal Attraction on Will or even Fab. He is just too newly out and a little too needy right now. Jeremy has changed, but that change, and growth is not in a straight line. There will be ups and downs and twist and turns. The issue will be does Jeremy want to put in the work to get to where he needs to go. Honestly, I think we need to talk about Will making some changes as well. Neither he nor Brad have really acknowledged how the news of Jeremy's parentage affected him. Will has always been strong and he honestly doesn't make many allowances for those that don't have that same inner strength. Jeremy has just been through so much, that I don't think Will or Brad have truly acknowledged how many things he has overcome and how hard it has been for him to even get this far. Can't wait to see what happens next...

Grayson really read and spent way to long worrying about what happened with Olly, it was nothing but his body reacting in his sleep. I do love how Grayson and Olly interact with each other however. Honestly, the whole family, now that Dad has come around, communicate really well. But the dreaded little brother blues will be coming soon enough. Glad that both Grayson and Raffa are moving up in the company. Let's hope that continues to show promise for both of them. What the hell did Mike do?

A seriously great writer and one of the few that I have found that do the western genre credit.

Oh lord, all the murders tied to a college made short film? As a group, these are some really interesting characters. And the interaction between them is really well done. Can't wait to see where this one goes next.

I honestly cannot imagine a car trip like that with two young boys as active as Damian and Adam are. I hope they all manage to enjoy their holidays and find that they can have many great adventures together. Thrilled that Graham made an appearance or two with Ludo and Arthur. And equally glad that it did not cause in friction between the two of them. Nothing wrong with a little added thrill as long as everyone is okay with it, communication is key. Love how Lesley is, she is a delight. Jackie is now reaping what she sowed, that said, I do hope that Damian and she continue to write to each other, the distance makes the trip hard, but letters can be a refreshing way to stay in touch. You find yourself sharing things and the fact that you have time to write, means that you don't feel rushed to try and get everything in at one time. Truly love this, and know it is ending soon, but I will miss it.

Wonderful chapter, Dante was able to get the answer to some of his questions, but he still has doubts and worries. The dream means something, but what? Tani is determined to protect Dante, but even with his power restored, will that be within his ability? Selene is such an intriguing character, what part will she play in the future?

Domenico and Jake seem to be finding their way forward in dealing with each other. Unfortunately, we can assume there will be others that are harder to deal with, seems that we have already meet one or two. Jim seems better than at first glance, but of course, everyone can have a bad day, and having to stay in charge on the situation can make it harder to seem overtly friendly. I like to glimpse back to past, gives us a more nuanced look at Domenico and who he is.

Woo Hoo, I knew all seven words this week. As always, thanks for the recap.

Interesting start and an unusual MO, enough to get me ready to figure out who done it. Can't wait to see how this progresses.
