Hate that the family seems to have written Aaron off. The NHC may well rue this one day, but they will never acknowledge that publically. So back to Texas

Loved this from start to finish. Morrie may be one of those guys that just is touchy feely. I have known a few like that, and they would never take it further even if it was offered. Of course, it could be more than that, and that would have to be nipped in the bud. Love how they all handled the photos, even Ivor. Honestly, should not be that big of a deal, they are all adults and not like any of them will be on billboards, or at least we hope not. LOL Love that Ralph sent one to his parents. And honestly, Therese handled it all with a much better humor than I expected. I wonder how serious her new relationship is?

I am going to have to find more time to read some of these stories, that will be my resolution for New Year.

Emmett is still being annoying to me, but not as much, getting to see some of this from his side helped. Emmett needs to make a few decisions and make them now. Finley will never force the issue for fear of upsetting Emmett, but instead of facing what he is and how he feels Emmett seems to be trying to force his idea how what should be happening on everyone around him. Finley also needs to come clean and admit to Emmett what he is and how he feels, I understand holding back, since he can tell how much Emmett is in flight mode right now. Steven could not have been hurt as bad as Emmett thought, or he heals better than Finley thought. Whatever Finley said to Stephen was enough for him to back off. Can't wait to see what happens next.

This was just beautifully written, and Robert simply must try and reach Alfie and help him move on, caught in this timeless moment searching for the one he loved without even being able to acknowledge why. Robert will have to find out about Paddy. He can find the diary now, could there be something in there to help Alfie and or Paddy? I sort of think that perhaps Paddy survived, but without Alfie, was he ever happy? This is truly wonderful.

As always, a great overview of what is being read and enjoyed.

I swear, some people just need to be slapped.

Grayson needs to get to the doctor A.S.A.P. and get a full panel done, can't do a few things this quickly but still. Who does the mystery number belong to? Who saw him out with Mike and Animal and knew what it meant? So, Gay uncle and he had no idea? Obviously, Grayson has no gaydar. LOL His mother is a keeper, call is still out on the father, and Olly is great as well. Can't wait to see what happens next.

So did not see this coming, that said, I have seen this particular situation play out twice in real life. One time, much like this one, it split the family and destroyed friendships, the other worked out surprisingly well. Can't wait to see where this one goes now.

Maybe some type of party at the Garden Center, places like that often have the resources to set things like that up. You would have everyone outside and can run them ragged before sending them home. Naked sprinkler fun for all, LOL I do worry about Damian, I do think he needs a therapist, even if it is just more of someone that he can talk to and get off what his on his chest and in his head that he wants to say without upsetting Ludo or anyone else. @Robert Hugill, you are truly the master of the interesting secondary characters. Often, they just do a drive by, but they are always memorable. I don't know about Damian seeing Jackie in prison, even an open one, but I do think he needs to resolve some of his feelings about his mother, and seeing her face to face and having a conversation, may well be the only way to do so. Can't wait to see what is next.

Another added to my list...

So glad that the bonding's are complete, about damn time. I can't wait to see what they decide to be for Halloween. Sounds like the house will be perfectly set up and might even work if someone were to say advance in rank. Well, sounds like this investigation is going to involve more than anyone thought, and I can just about bet, no one is going to be happy about it.

Glad that Robert has decided to accept the fact that it was an unusual encounter and has decided to pursue his investigation. He now has some information about his spectral visitor, but not the important things, like what is holding Alfie there and what happened to him. Love this.

Miracle on 34th Street with a young Natalie Wood, or Scrooge/A Christmas Carole, please none of the modern versions. As I hate all of the Die-Hard movies, but especially the first one, I am going to vote NO. But of course, the less said about it the better. As always thanks for the round up, although a few harder words of the week would be nice. LOL.

All hell just broke loose and no one but Remy is really aware of it.

This coupling or throupling sounds as if it may actually work. Orion is more than able to handle them both. They are right, while a few resorts that are blocked off from islanders are okay to show some affection, most of the Caribbean islands do not handle male on male affection well in public. Just a truly lovely chapter.

The only STD/STI that can be tested for in the first two days is Chlamydia. Usually, the incubation period is closer to a week, but you can test for it 24 hours after exposure and get a positive test. That is the only one that you can test for that quickly as far as I know. More likely the rougher oral sex is what is causing his throat to hurt. I am quite certain that his mother knows or suspects something. You can't just throw something with dried blook in the washer and expect it to come clean. You would have had to pretreat it with an ammonia soap mixture, or a mixture designed to get blood out, if the blood is dried, it will almost never come out with just laundry detergent. Mike obviously did not realize that anything was amiss when he sent the first text, but Grayson's lack of response is making him worried as it should. Not sure where Grayson will go from here, but he needs to think things over and maybe even get a different perspective from someone that he truly trust.

Well, I felt we just started this one and it is now over and ready to start the next one. The growth in Sasha was amazing. Just amazed at how much he has grown and the man he is becoming. It is the Marc effect. So glad we got to see the Triad. Janek will always hold a special place for me. Can't wait to see what happens while Marc is on this three-month training course with the Confed Navy.

Excellent chapter, Peter seems to be moving right along and sounds like he found someone that he will come to truly care about. Her parents seem to like him. Can't wait to see how this plays out. I did notice the bit about he thought he would never be back in Texas.

Robert must be more tired and out of it then he realized if he didn't notice more about this than he did. I bet old man Latouche may speak more English than his wife might suspect. This was a little sad, Alfie obviously died in the war, have to wonder if Patrick did? This is just wonderful.

Loved this chapter from start to finish, and all of it in between. So glad the launch went well for Nolan and Verne, and really glad the twins showed up in the film. I do hope this goes well, personal training is something that works wonders for some, that personal one on one time is what some people really need. Sounds like the Ralph and Therese are getting along better, the school function went well. And with the twins in the area, no way to discuss anything untold. I do hope this stays on an even keel. The photo shot was a hoot from start to finish. I do understand Ivor, had a friend by me a pair of undies, and actually had to find a video trying to figure out exactly how to wear them properly. The dinner after the shoot was a perfect ending to this chapter. This group seems to be meshing in unexpected ways. If we could throw in Gordon and Brian, it would have been even better, but of course, we do have their upcoming outing at Gordon's parents to look forward to. And I do hope that Ralph sends his parents copy of the pick.

A lot going on in this chapter. Miss Britney is a bitch. If nothing else, taking the man that truly cared for her daughter away from her like that says more about here than almost anything she has done. Flynn seems to have some interesting ideas for how a slave relates to his Mistress and how slaves relate to each other. Is that just how he was trained, or does he truly embrace those ideas? Dante didn't go out of his way to be nice or mean to Flynn, he was more just indifferent. I guess he could have tried to help him some more, but honestly Flynn's attitude would have set me on my ear as well. Tom being free and now a slave explains so much...

Chips and gravy are delicious, and there are several variations, can't say that I have had any in Australia, but Canada has several variations depending on the region. Grayson has to come to terms with what happened, the issue is can he do that on his own. I am glad that he took the pictures, that was smart thinking. Something like this can truly devastate someone that age, male or female. The physical assault was bad enough, but the fact that Mike really did betray his trust makes it so much worse. Grayson is going to have several decisions to make, let's hope he makes the right ones.

Well, an interesting first encounter on both the part of the couple that is renting the room, and the one with our unknown specter. Highly anticipating the next chapter, can't wait.

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
