The first step in getting better is to face your inner demons.

i'm with you

great chapter

Yay! Another chapter. But like herbert from family guy when he had chris's hat then sniff it "I want more." Was really hoping for Soarin to turn crazy and draw Braeburn face on the pillow and fook it lol. Anyways, love the chapter. Patching things up and trying to start anew. But now....what else to read o_O

God, they probably went through a bottle of London dry and a bottle of aged rum between them...

Skywise has excellent taste in drink by the way, and I have a sense you do too Syntax. (Although I'd argue the Manhattan is so much nicer than a martini)
Beautiful emotional chapter written just how I would see this sort of situation being played out. You have a gift with making it sound realistic.

Hats off and Tanquery out for you sir!

Thank you all. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I completely agree. Here's hoping Soarin' can start to heal.

Well, I'm hard at work on the next one. I hope I don't keep you waiting long!

I like D&S only slightly less than I like my Moscow Mules.

Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Next one's coming as soon as possible.

Take you're time mate, everyone has their own lives and businesses. Eat a juicy burger when you can

This chapter probably topped the one where Braeburn and Soarin broke up, which is rather surprising. Well done!

Sorry for not commenting it further on it, I was very tired at the time. I like that you went about to explain what really happened between between Soarin's parents it was interesting to how his entire vision of events of his memories and how Soarin shares also share his father's flaws and explain a lot of his behavior with Breaburn. I will be looking forward to the next chapter.

No need to apologize, but I appreciate the additional comments all the same. Thank you!

As somebody whose parents should have gotten divorced a long time ago, this chapter was hard, and I put it off for quite a while. But you did a wonderful job with it. Soarin is fighting some complicated emotions with a lot of baggage attached, and I can relate to it all too well. But having parents who are mature enough to talk out their own feelings really helps, and the fact that it took time on her end as well was a good touch. Nice work.

Thanks, Blue Streak. It's a sad reality that people can relate to the more difficult parts of the story, but I'm glad I'm doing it justice all the same. Thank you for letting me know.

I fucking loved this. I'm not even gonna try to list all that I loved about this, just take my word for it.

It's hard to be in Soarin's place, having to face all those years of resentment and finally letting all go, but as hard as it has been for him also brought him some inner peace and helped to fix some of the mistakes his mother has done

Also, it turned out to be very real that Soarin could not forgive her mother so easily, it's suppossed we should all forgive each other without any hesitation but I wonder how many of us really do that, but at least he gave one more step to fix everything.

Another great chapter, i can't wait to see what's next .

Huh, reminds me of the last comment I made on this story, what, two chapters ago?

I admit, I thought of that comment while I was editing.

I'm glad you're enjoying it so far, and thanks for all the feedback! "Real people" has been my main goal this whole story, and it makes me smile to think I've achieved it.

Wow. So much of Soarin's behaviors make sense now. As Jetstream was talking about it, Soarin's behaviors with Braeburn clicked with me at the same time they were for him.

Divorces are also never pretty. I've been lucky enough to not have to personally go through that with my parents, but I've seen almost all of my cousins go through it with their parents.

Another well done chapter!

It’s always the little things, man. It’s always the little things that fuck me up.

I know I said something similar a few comments ago, but thank you again for noticing the little things. It means so much to me that readers are paying attention to them.
