So many wonderful moments in this chapter!

From Luke's slow realisation to where he belongs, to his rescue of Noah from Mason and to his beautiful chat with Holden.

And Noah's dramatic collapse with Lucinda (love that woman) being the one to finally convince him to take the leap of faith with Reid.

Good old Lucinda for finally making Noah "see" sense.
and when he wake's he'll see his future.He'll see Luke

Definitely! Lucinda's always one of my favorite characters to go to for the "wake up and figure things out, you dumbass!" scenes. :)

aw, thank you! It was a crazy-fun chapter to write, with things finally falling into place. And I got to write some of my fave other characters- Holden and Lucinda, which is extra funny because the Lucinda scene wasn't planned at all, it just kinda happened. Glad you liked it!

Aww I like this Reid. Of course, he doesn't know that Luke's cheating on him with Noah, so hopefully he doesn't find out and then drop the scalpel in his brain LOL.

I think at this point Reid- in my head at least- knows but doesn't know that something's going on. But, alas, he doesn't know enough to get out of the way just yet ;)

This whole chapter was wonderful. All the angst tore away at my heart but it made sense. I loved that Luke is finding his way.

I most especially ADORED the Lucinda/Noah scene with the awesome addition of Reid. \O/

Second favorite scene to write of the whole story- Lucinda and Noah. It was so much fun and so complicated to figure out and I liked it. Lucinda's so straightforward and no-nonsense, which hides how much she cares. Kinda perfect for leave-me-alone-but-please-don't!Noah.

And yet again, I rely on my "trope" of having Holden knock some sense into Luke. I just can't help it!

You did what the TV didnt. Had Luke and Noah talking to OTHER PEOPLE.
Writers have no budget to adhere too....and the show by that point was pinching pennies like crazy.
Another excellent chapter of a wonderous story.
