Yeah, an update! The description of Ryan's nightmare is really vivid!
I'm officially addicted to this story!
I'm wondering how and when Ryan's gonna meet the Cohen though...(yep, that was a *please update soon" sentence*)
Thanks for this update!

Aww I'm so glad.

I actually wrote the next chapter, which was my random memory but I accidentaly deleted it. However, I have plans for the next chapter.

I am really enjoying this. I love the traumatized Ryan, you write him well. The flashbacks to his dead mom are chilling and wonderful. ♥

Thanks Brandy. I'm so glad that you're enjoying.

Home? Home to him meant a beating before bed, a new scar to hide from prying eyes in the morning. Home to him meant spending every minute of every day, imagining scenarios that could never come true. He was most definitely not going home.

Man, we do love to torture the boy, don't we? I'm glad that he was awoken from the nightmare by loving people---though it almost sounded like the Cohens....maybe that's what triggered your false memory. Yes--we need to see Sandy and Kirsten soon.

Man, we do love to torture the boy, don't we?

Haha oh yes we do.

I think what happened is, that I began the next chapter which had the bit I rememebr writing in it. But when I saw a document called chapter 6 the other day when I was clearing out some of my documents I thought it was something else and so deleted it *grumbles*

But yes, Sandy and Kirsten are coming.

Very good job with Mark and Lucy. They are very likable characters and seem to be genuinely concerned about our boy.

That nightmare...YIKES!...quite chilling.

People so often make out social workers to be bad people, so I decided to make them nice for a change. I thought Ryan needed someone to be nice to him. I'm glad you like them.

Thanks

Not sure that was the last thing to read before I turn off the light! Thanks for the update.
