I'm glad Jeff pursued Paul and they finally talked after Miss Julie's demonstration and lecture. It does seem people can get a notion and assume they have the right of it without verifying it with the other person. Hopefully these two have learned their lesson.
As we approach the All Star break in a season that has seen it's share of disappointment, I submit the following

I agree with the other comments. The only thing I note is that Will is there being strong for Liam, Will seems strangely to be almost unaffected with grief himself for his best friend's dad, which I find curious....
The Constitution was ratified on June 21, 1788.
The Bill of Rights consisting of the first 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution were ratified on December 15, 1791.
The Declaration of Independence was issued on July 4, 1776 or 241 years ago today. Happy 241st Birthday America!
(And yes, it was 41 years ago that we celebrated the Bicentennial, although some of us find that astonishing!)
I am more disappointed in Paul than I can state. He was in the saddle last night and this morning he is too ashamed to talk and take whatever repercussions there are to be had like a man? This isn't just a failure to communicate, it's a failure to man up.
Jeff has been too gentle with Paul's feeling due to the wealth inequity and he needed to be more forceful when Paul avoided him the next morning instead of beating himself up wondering what he did. Another case of not manning up.
Hopefully, someone will kick both their butts before they get completely off track. Perhaps in the end it will be the little princess who puts them both in their place. It wouldn't surprise me.
DQ makes a point, but love isn't always fickle and is a very strong motivator. Somehow I believe Alek has turned the corner and is a better man for it.
I usually have several tabs open for different sites and when the focus is on other sites for more than about 30 minutes I find I have to log back in. This happens on both the desktop running Windows 10 using Chrome and on my Kindle tablet using Silk which is Amazon's version of Chrome.
My eyes started watering in the middle of the third paragraph. It made it difficult to read as the tears kept flowing and still haven't stopped as I try to tell you how much your story moved me.
Great chapter! Josh's first kiss and reaction was pitch perfect! The sad fact is that TX is not the only state biased in favor of the mother in custody disputes. While kids have no rights at all. When a child reaches age 12, they ought to have some say as a matter of law in the custody and visitation decisions.
My advice is to forget about writing for a while and to concentrate on enjoying life including some task that is not on an electronic device. While you have so many ideas percolating that are hard to ignore, it's the inability to focus on any one of them and to get it down that is really frustrating. To borrow an old phrase, 'turn the page' and get on with the rest of your life. Getting back into the rhythm of just living should help settle your thoughts and you will know when the words start spilling out again...at least that is my hope for you. Good luck and Peace! DDK
