Okay. I didn't see that coming. I have been wondering a bit about the inconsistencies in the relationship between Drew and his mother and the Petrakises, but that particular news came out of left field.
I haven't really been getting into this story for some reason. It's well written, as is most of Dabeagle's work, but it hadn't engaged me yet. I think it has my attention now.

Looking back, now, I can see how Mr. Petrakises has influence with Drew's mother - while I won't go as far as saying I wasn't engaged I can say that I was mildly involved - NOW, I want MORE, MORE, MORE.

I kind of suspected because of comments from readers on GA.
I guess they are all more jaded than we are over there.
Nothing like a secret scandal to make for happy family life.
I think that i actually might want my own Cole more than a Drew, now. There's something endearing about how Drew is seeing him as a stupid cute boy.

Well now, that was a twist... Anxiously waiting with bated breath...

Wow. What a plot! And this could go in just about any direction - which just makes it so much more enjoyable! Keep it coming, Dawg!

Having dealt with all kinds of bent minds there's little left that surprises me, especially this day and age.

Just got done with chapter 5. It was a great chapter until I read the last lines. Ch 6 is on deck and will be reading that shortly. Maybe his mom was playing a psycho for a reason.

Having dealt with all kinds of bent minds there's little left that surprises me, especially this day and age. Worse than that in this case is that she's an absolute leach, feeding off of other people. Conveniently agoraphobic. Drew is right that she sits in the living room doing nothing. Even if she had been honestly neglected by her lover, try to still make something of your life and appreciate the fact that you have a son who would truly respect you if you deserved it.

Ok so now that I've discovered that there is a message board on here, I'd been meaning to ask from the beginning who the two guys on the cover page are supposed to be.

Ah silly me, I must've initially glossed over the description of Cole being blond (even if I was already picturing him as such, lol). My initial confusion of who was blond between Drew and Teo must've still carried over. (Although I'd say I pictured Cole to be far less twinky.)

So what is 'Don't bail on me, now, Thomas.' a reference to?
