I don't usually comment, but I thought I'd creep out of my lurking silence and say that I love this story, and am always anxious for a new chapter!! You did a great job of making all the characters likable and still keeping them as themselves, something that's nearly impossible sometimes. Clark on the sidelines breaks my heart, and the whole situation with Brodie seems very true to life. I am awed by how you've managed to pull the whole thing together, and can't wait to see how it all turns out!!
Encouragement! Enthusiasm!
