I can understand why Reid was upset, but he didn't handle it well initially. I am glad he went to find Luke to fix things. They're much better at talking things through.

I loved Reid bonding with the Snyder siblings.

They didn't handle any of it correctly but they fixed things so that's all good now. :)

Thanks for reading & commenting!

Oh Sleeper this had so many wonderful parts that amused me so.

Have a gay old time in Oakdale. And lots of pizza! -Henry

“She’s a teenager. She hates everyone,”

“I wanna hook up!” Ethan suddenly shouted. “I want a special friend like Reid.”

Who is this? Damn, I wish I had my trusty napkin. “I’m looking for, uh, is Luke here?” “Who’s asking?” “Me.” “Is that your full name?”

“Wow, I think that’s the quietest you’ve ever been during sex,”

I admire how you are able to mix the conflict and the humor together and resolve the differences. Reid seems to be high on his learning curve now dealing with Luke and his ways.

I'm sad to see only two chapters remain. I know you've been struggling to find writing time. I hope this won't be the last.

Thanks for pointing out the specific parts that you liked. It thrills me to know you're enjoying it.

Reid is learning. Luke will too in the last chapters.

I think it's just time to end the story. I actually have ideas for one-shots and shorter fics so I'll still be writing. :)

You see what happens when people just talk to one another about their problems how it can be solved. I adore Reid even more in fic when he hangs out with Luke's siblings especially Ethan and Natalie cause like Luke said Faith is at the teenaged stage where she is always right and everyone else is wrong.

Lucinda always protective of her family no matter what.

Great chapter only 2 more to go

Talking is key!

I do think Lucinda and Reid will get along after this first encounter. :)

Thanks for continuing to read! I appreciate all your comments.

I'm glad Reid didn't wallow in anger but went to Luke.
Can't wait to see what you've got in store for us.

Thanks for your great Story. You really get Reid's snark, humour and impatience and Luke's good nature but acting without thinking about it first.

Reid is so deep in with Luke now and they did talk about fixing things quickly back when they had their epic talk in the car so Reid decided to do something about it.

Thanks for the great compliment! I enjoy writing these 2 characters so much!

And I hope you write more too!

I have to end it--it was always going to be 10 chapters. I don't generally like dragging out stories too much unless the plot is huge. But I want to end it 'cause I have soooo many other ideas and I need to write them all before I get lazy.

Reid truly loves Luke, he does. :)

Aww, I always get flustered with your comments. Thanks so much!
