Thayer and Cutie spied on by C.O. who in turn appears to have also been watched and assaulted from behind. Too many people seem sexually interested in the Boy and his V card is in danger.
William is talented and needs to dump Victor. Jonah is undergoing a culture shock while grieving and dealing with guilt. The triplets are a definite force to have on his side.
"Gasping for air, different visions came into his head. Cocks, balls, boys, girls, tits, pussies, butts. Always without faces. A minute later, he was there. "
Thayer is definitely in thrall to his hormones.
Jonah is on his way to live with his "father's brother". The word choice seems to indicate there was some distance and Jonah did not know his uncle. The crash following the fight in the car where Jonah took off his shoe and threw it at his dad contributes to a guilt laden young teen.
X's past and low expectations consume his possible attraction to the new kid who gets to experience the hormonal drama. Hopefully, the clouds part and some sunshine lightens the mood.
Pointedly, it had to be Travis that explained things to JJ. That he started by explaining his own relationship to his brother and sister and how he has demanded that Will abide with his walls was key to getting JJ to understanding how Will felt betrayed.
Marie's timing in getting together and discussing things with Will was superb and she struck just the right note with him.
Travis practicing his lines with JJ was the point that put the kettle on the boil.
An altogether well constructed chapter leaving me wanting more!
Thank you Bill. It remains a deep gulf of mournful regret that we didn't get to see his take on events in his planned stories. Hopefully from his higher plane he can see a society that manages to muddle through.
I'd almost forgotten this story and so glad to see it resumed! Your writing is a pleasant distraction from real world acts of violence and terror along with the fury of mother nature.
Dealing with zombies is violent, but the point of the story seems to be people taking care of each other.
Thanks for another Granger fix and a very Happy New Year to you and your fans, some of us who date back to your Yahoo group.
The lovely Ernst sounds delicious and George is re-evaluating things which means he will allow himself to be seduced. (An art the master seducer has perfected.)
Talleyrand is complicated and smart and provides good advice to George.
Caroline is beginning to suspect there is more than friendship between George and Daventry.
As usual, MORE PLEASE!
Jake's second pick seems a much better choice for Travis. Travis asking JJ to run lines makes sense, but Will wouldn't think so.
Happy New Year to all!
The surf was up. Chris called and got Will to read the email from JJ.
The odds that the stalker is a paid professional have become probable.
Travis' security concerns make the move to live with JJ and Kris now seem inevitable.
Thanks for another well paced chapter. Merry, merry!
Thank heaven for nosey neighbors! Jessie sent him to where he needed to go to meet Alfies great, great nephew. ( Maybe an extra one or two greats!)
Thanks for sharing!
I'm guessing Jake filled Kris in about the stalker and included a photo that Will took.
JJ With the help of his meds and a big push from Kris is starting to figure out he needs to repair his relationship with his family starting with Will. I expect Will won't make it easy for him.
Looking forward to the Christmas present Mark, and hope your holidays are merry and bright!
Robert's witnessing the demise of Patrick and Alfie was frighteningly real. Alfie's charge implies a further relational encounter which I'm hoping is forthcoming.
It's great to see Brad and Will on the same page regarding JJ.
More importantly, Travis took it to heart when Will mentioned his own relationship with Big and his sister...
Hopefully Jake's sources get a handle on the stalker and neutralize him (and his possible cohorts). Also finding a safe place in New York for Travis to live while working on his show.
Hopefully the surf doesn't disappoint....
More Please!
