2 legends of Star Trek gone in the same week! To mix my Trek universes:- Chekov - Course laid in Captain. Picard - Engage! To boldly go where no-one has gone before. 💔

I very nearly stopped reading after the first message but I decided to persevere and I'm so glad I did. Talk about a roller-coaster of emotions and life experiences from Lyle after having to deal with Evan's death. @kbois I think you were correct that it would have been impossible to make this into a longer story.

I think most of your loyal readers would 100% agree with you!

Based on the current average chapter word count of 3600 (ish) that would make each chapter of the epi(c)logue only 600 words each! That wouldn't work for anyone - least of all our esteemed author @kbois.

His ankle tag must have slipped off again!!

I just want to go awwwwwwww! That was such a sweet chapter. Hopefully just the beginning, or are we so far along that you could say we're in the middle now?

As Coach Hayes would probably say "If Ben is the answer, what the hell was the question?" 😆

Is it still a secret if everyone else already knows? 😁

Progress/Finally/At Last - I think we've covered most of the ways of saying it! I'll add another one - About Time! The rest of the team (and the coaches) already know so they won't be at all surprised if they ever get around to announcing anything - it'll be "And?" as a response from everyone else. I can't believe there are only 9 chapters left @andy cannon!

That's a good place to start! Before the fun starts!!!!

Great story Chris - Toby & Lee are very interesting characters. Hopefully you may find more to post about them in the future.

I absolutely love this story @andy cannon! Eventually (hopefully) Jackson will come to realise what Noah just has - that they are just made for each other (on the ice, as well as off it)!

Don't worry @kbois, I have my mop, bucket and disinfectant at the ready. The Korner will be pristine when you carry out your next inspection! @weinerdog just needs to behave himself!

A-ha, mystery solved about the missing chapter from Saturday (see my reply on page 3 to the very first post by @weinerdog on this page). @kbois family always comes first!

I'm always happy when the bait gets taken! And all that proves is that you can copy and paste and put it into italics!! You managed to beat @kbois and her alter ego @Mrsgnomie to posting first in the comments 😇 I'm also late on parade as I've only just finished reading the chapter from four days ago, and just noticed that yesterday's expected chapter has yet to appear - I expect I'll find out why when I read the rest of the comments. Hope everything is okay with @kbois?
