Arghh, that's exactly what I found about Noah's character in the series so annoying sometimes: This constant "trying to figure things out" thingy... I mean he doesn't even know IF he is going to leave Oakdale, right?"
He's always under the imagination that pushing people away wouldn't hurt them (Luke's the best example) and is actually thinking he's doing a good thing by staying away.
I seriously hope that Reid can finally talk some sense into him. Seriously!!! If anyone could do that, then it's Reid.
All in all, another brilliantly written chapter with Reid and Noah being so in character. Love it!

The banter here is spot on. If this is you NOT getting their voices right, I can't imagine what getting them right would look like!

Noah and Reid have graduated from hurling casual insults at each other to arguing about things that are REAL. Most significantly, as you so deftly point out through Reid's thoughts, he has stepped more or less unwittingly into the role formerly occupied by Luke of attempting to draw Noah out of his pain to confront his fears and demons. He can't help but care about the other man's well being and quality of life.

For the 500th chapter in a row, my heart breaks for Noah. I miss my sweet, happy Noah. In your capable hands, though, I trust he'll find some peace before this brilliant story comes to a close.

Excellent chapter!

Some seriously fiery chemistry brewing here! And I love how they are suddenly fighting over actual things, rather than just the made up banter they started with. It shows they really care now, even if they haven't come to realise that yet! Here's hoping Reid can get through to Noah and make him see how silly his argument is!

Perfect!

Knock knock! :)
Just wanted to say hi and that I miss your writing. I hope you're well and that you're going to continue your story some time.
I wish you a happy Easter!
