Hey Sandy,
Just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I enjoyed these last three chapters. You continue to amaze me with your insight into Brian's psyche, and the sensitivity in which you are delivering this story.
Keep it up!
HUGS and LOVE,

Brian's coming clean with Lindsay and Michael will be interesting. Wouldn't it be nice if when Mel finds out she falls into the group that support Brian like Ted and Emmett?
Author's Response:
Lindsay and Mikey are the wild cards in this story. It would be nice if Mel supported Brian, but I'm just not sure if that will happen.

Interesting to see these meetings through Brian's eyes. It's good he has Justin to bounce idea's off of. I'm not sure how Mikey would handle this.
Author's Response:
So sorry for not responding. I thought I responded earlier. I like the window into Brian's mind when he talks to Justin.

I like that Brian has a plan but I think his first trip to Babylon it's gonna be harder than he thinks… TAG
Author's Response:
Brian's trip to Babylon will be hard. Sorry for the late response. I thought I responded to the comments last chapter but evidently my writing was not the only thing that got caught up with school.

Somehow I don't see Brian as the type to take up woodworking or even writing fanfiction as a hobby that will keep him away from Woody's in Babylon at night. I'm not sure where are you going to go with the story but it'll be interesting to figure out some alternative for our poor stud. TAG
Author's Response:
LOL- Brian writing fanfiction would not be something I envision. Although, 20+ years ago, I did not even know what fanfiction was. Now, I can't imagine my life without writing and reading it on a regular basis.

Great update. Love the progress that Brian makes in each chapter. Wonderful writing.
Author's Response:
Thank you. Progress is slow but steady. He is making slower progress than I am writing the story. lol

Tough chapter: Brian will have a hard time finding out how to manage this "making amends" topic; maybe the hardest topic since the beginning. I mean with the rest of the family as for Gus, Ted and Emmett, he already is on the right path.
Author's Response:
Making amends sounds so tright- saying I'm sorry... Brian doesn't do "I'm sorry and he doesn't do regrets" so this is a very difficult concept for him.

Brian really needs a hobby other than sex... TAG
Author's Response:
But sex is so fun. (LOL)

I'm glad you are still interested in reading the whole thing again. True, there are 35 chapters ( and still a WIP), but its taking a long time to write. I love this story and am pleased that you will be reading it again. I hope you enjoy it.

Great chapter! Looking forward to seeing what hobbies Brian will pick up! I know the DNA results will be in soon. Can’t wait to see how all of that goes down!!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Brian will follow his hamsters on this one. (lol)

I'm enjoying the pace of your story. I find myself sitting back and enjoying the ride. Melanie is such a walking contradiction, she doesn't want Brian in their lives but he's selfish if he doesn't cough up the money. Emmett, Ted and Blake true friends.
Author's Response:
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I love writing and it is always rewarding when my readers let me know that they enjoy my work. Brian does have some really true friends.

Great chapter as usual!
I love this quote as I find it being the key point for Brian's success to sobriety: "I'm not just seeking sobriety for my access to Gus, I'm seeking it so I can enjoy my life more".

Thank you. You have quoted a few lines from the story. I'm glad that my writing is something you are enjoying.

Great chapter. Love how Brian is maturing and growing into the great man we know he is. As for Michael, he could move to China and I wouldn't miss him. LOL Fantastic writing.

I'm so glad that you continue to enjoy the story and my writing. Brian is ready to live his life and actually enjoy it, not just go through the motions.

Great update. Brian is so different in this story and I really like it. We all face challenges in our lives and seeing Brian deal with them helps us. Fantastic writing.
Author's Response:
Thank you. I always wanted to explore Brian and his addictive behavior and this gave me the chance. I think Brian might be a different man had he not grown up with the parents he had.

I'm really liking this story. Brian is starting to face the fact that his life will change now, but he does have great support from Emmett and Ted. Lindsay is proving to be her usual self- centered self. It's all about her opinion and her quest to have Brian provide for her - what an appalling woman. Her and Michael are the worst kind of people... Selfish users. Looking forward to the next chapter :-)
Author's Response:
I'm glad that you enjoying the story. I'm enjoying writing it. Lindsay is very self centered and she still dreams of the white picket fence and setting up a little family unit with her and Gus and Brian, with Brian being the bread winner.
