@TetRefine Glad you didn't have to go to the hospital! The Covid-D variant is notorious for putting out huge amounts of virus and that large viral load is the reason for the increasing number of breakthrough infections and why the CDC recommends masks and social distancing even for the vaccinated in hotspots. However, I'm surprised at the large percentage of your friends who have been infected and glad none of them got seriously ill.
Will opening up to Falco with such private details about one of the most distressing times in his life, is uncharacteristic. He must be really responding to Johnny's story.....and looks.
It maybe went easier than either the brothers or the readers expected, but I thought they'd either kill each other or get back together. I'm glad they didn't over react.
After reading this story again many years later, I don't think it had the same impact on me as when it was first serialized on Nifty. The jokes still made me groan, but this time around it seemed the plot was a bit shop worn.
I think one moment of weakness in a 19 or 20 year old should not be fatal if their love is true. Hopefully, both will learn from this as a lesson learned....if Mike recovers.
Ok, so now I'm beginning to remember this story. But its been a long time ago. Like maybe when I still had a dial-up modem.
The part about the guardianship and having to get a job for the summer did it.
I suspect Will meets JF and finds he needs money...and is as Steff said: Stunning. I also suspect that Mark will spin it out so it's not quite so crass.
(I must be getting to be a grumpy old goat.)
I did like the exchange between JP and Will. JP has treated Will like an adult for some time now, but one whom he favors and needs to provide some guidance and clarity.
Philip's past could be a can of worms that is best left untouched. Philip will have to decide how much to divulge and assess how he wants to proceed. Somehow I have faith the young hero can be a hero to himself too!
