Chapter 40, My Stardust Melody

[petuniagirl]

Reid had to admit that therapy was making him feel better about himself. It wasn't that he'd thought that psychology was a complete crock, nor did he think he was so deep and complex that no one could ever possibly understand him…but he just hadn't really expected it to be as effective as it was. After several weeks of intensive sessions, he was

Darn it, I can't stay mad at Damian! He loves his son so much.

Oh, Reid! Everyone knows you're sooooo in love with Luke, even your therapist. Hee

Lovely talks between Luke and Reid.

And I'm thrilled that therapy is making Reid feel good. :)

Another good one! On to the next one . . .

I can't stay mad at Damian either, so I had to look for ways to start redeeming him.

Therapy is working! It's a good thing Oakdale has miracle therapists who can make patients better lightning fast, lol.

Thank you!

Well, who would have thought Reid was actually appreciate therapy? I like how he is slowly connecting to more and more citizens of Oakdale.
And Damian... I always feel conflicted about him. I like him, but I hate the things he did. He's definitely intriguing.

Soooo, Serendipity and Midnight came in 1 and 2? Very very nice! Looks like Luke is finally going to make some money, huh?

Great update!!

Thank you! Damian, for me, has always been a shade of grey--he has good intentions but does some pretty awful things.

Things are definitely looking up for Luke financially. Finally!

It is looking good.

# Reid finding his inner peace.

# Luke doing well with the horses

# They are getting closer

And two more chapters to read. Thank you so much.

[petuniagirl]

Thank you! We are headed to happier times quite rapidly. Yeah!

[petuniagirl]

Thank you, dearest! As you know, I have a soft spot for Damian--anything I can do to rehabilitate him, I will.

So I posted the entirety of the story today--if you get a few replies to some ancient comments, I'm trying to go back in time and make sure I've replied to everyone.

Finally I have a chance to read!!!!!!

I like the progress Reid is making with his demons and how well it is coinciding with the progression of his "friends only" relationship with Luke. He has it soooooooooooooooo bad for Luke.

Bringing Damian along for the evening made my day. Maybe Reid should introduce him to his therapist.

Poor Serendipity's jockey was wearing colors that matched Henry's suit. Midnight's rider looked much more sensible in plane green silks--Luke must have picked that one.

I had to highlight this. Of course Luke chose green LOL

Serendipity got Midnight this round. I suspect a different outcome next time.

on to the next chapter...

[petuniagirl]

Yes, of course Luke chose green. It's still better than anything Henry would choose, though.

Thank you!
