I know I'm really going to be regretting this tomorrow morning, but I simply couldn't resist reading all this tonight ... and what a reward was waiting for me at the end. Not just the confession, and not the make-out scene on the beach -- which was incredible, don't get me wrong -- but bringing back John's parents in such a tender way. I'm amazed at your sensitivity in dealing with this difficult subject, especialy in showing how this is healing both John and Rodney. You're making it clear that it's a lot more than just play. Love love love it!

OK, and now to bed! Thanks for this incredible story!
