Oooooo - the mystery deepens!

I'm really enjoying this, although the descriptions of Sam's state are quite heartbreaking *sniffs*. You've really captured the characters brilliantly, especially Ray and Chris.

I'm away for the next few days but am looking forward to a bumper catch-up when I get back :)

Hope this isn't too cheeky, but I have one teeny Britpick - we don't have 'stoops'. From what I recall of the canon glimpse we get of Gene's house it's just a couple of steps up to the front door, so it's not even a porch, really. I think 'door' in this case would probably be the most suitable word.

it's just a couple of steps up to the front door,

I thought that was a stoop? That's what I always think of when I think stoop...

*confused*

LOL

Oh, is that what a stoop is? I always wondered. We just don't have the word.

Sorry, I know that's the American term for it; what I meant by 'we don't have stoops' was we just don't use that word in the UK.

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun using Ray and Chris.

Oh, I didn't know you didn't use the word stoop in the UK. Yay new info! :)
I'll have to change that to door then. Thanks!
