<3 another great story. Luke is going to have to acknowledge what is happening soon. I love that Holden already has a clue. I hope Lily isn't an idiot. Katie rocks as usual.

Thank you. Luke will come to the realization. Glad you like Holden and Lily...well, we just have to see. I love Katie so I'm glad you think she rocks here. ~Ali

Reid's got himself all worked up doesn't he?!??!?!!!?!!?!

[gradgirl_07]

Yes, poor Reid. ~Ali

Catching up with this--very interesting that Luke feels something but he just doesn't know what.

Reid should just go for it! Find out if there's any chance between them.

Thank you. Luke is kind of lost and it's possible that Reid might make a move... ~Ali

Awwww, thank you so much for the early Birthday wishes!!! Just what I needed<33333!

This chapter was simply amazing. Their frustration and attraction at the same time is so palpable, and it just makes me want to dive into my screen and push them together or something.

And I love how they're both jealous of Katie for the same reason XD. Oh, boys...

Also, I loved how Luke stood up for Reid. I don't Reid's had many people defending him. :'(

And I'm really looking forward to Luke figuring out that he's gay and wants to be with Reid. I think you're doing a wonderful job having Luke slowly come to that realization.

Thank you for the update<3. And the wait for Now & Again is almost over, I promise. ;)

Well, you're welcome and thank you! I feel the frustration, believe me and I hope to alleviate it at some point. ;-) They're kind of in denial yes with all the Katie jealousy. Thank you for what you said about the way Luke is coming to his realizations. Thank you again for such a lovely comment. ~Ali

That was one hot moment when Reid slammed the door in his office... and then they acted like nothing happened. And it was a sweetly weird moment when Luke got up and just physically crafted a smile on Reid's face. Their interaction is quite strange now, loaded with such strong, adamantly denied undercurrents. And then, Luke babbling in the hotel bathroom. He's so cute and infuriating. There's a very subtle humor in this story that delights me no end!

The slamming door moment, wasn't really planned. I just started writing the chapter and there's where the boys took me. I like your assessment of their interactions--the undercurrents. And I'm glad you like the subtle humor. Thank you. ~Ali
