I don't think we should be too hard on creepy Simon because we were all there watching in our mind's eye right along with him. At least I was and enjoying every gasp, groan, grunt, sigh, giggle and slurp of it! And for all those who think there can be too much sexual details in a story, all I can say is this isn't one of them!
I'm in the more is better crowd. But, I'll take what you give us because I know how time consuming writing can be, especially when you try to get it right.
Thanks for all you do...and keep on doing it!
Interesting start but the beach season is about over and what will Chris do for work then? Seems George has been good to them but can he afford to keep them for free indefinitely?
I don't know what it is between Dennis and Reilly but it is definitely something.
As far as Owen and Aiden I think it is still a work in progress and I think it was interesting that Owen told Aiden no.
I'm re-reading it and am through chapter 16 and well into chapter 17. As I've confessed in some of my chapter comments, the story is only vaguely familiar and I've forgotten where it goes and how it gets there. It has been almost a decade since I read it and clearly too many stories have been read in the intervening years for me to have kept this one in my memory banks which are filled to overflowing. After all, I've been a voracious reader for more than sixty years.....I was going to say sixty-five but the books I read before age 12 probably were not all that memorable anyhow....
As a recent reader of the story I too can heartily recommend it.
I think Owen is beginning to realize it is all coming out anyway, and denying it is a losing proposition, so he might as well take the advice of someone who has been there and done that. Leo is no dummy!
