I loved this chapter. I love that Reid still hates Noah and that Luke has more perspective on that relationship. It's funny that now that Noah wants to be friends with Luke, Luke is finding him kind of boring!
I love that even though Reid doesn't remember Luke, he is still drawn to him.

Thanks very much. I know that Luke desparately wanted to be friends with Noah after they broke up but I never thought that a friendship would have worked between the two. Which I realize differs from what a lot of LURE fans believe. A lot of future fanfic seems to show Luke and Noah as friends. I just think that without LOVE to keep them together, they wouldn't put up with each other's crap. YMMV. Thanks for reading.

I agree with you. I don't see Luke and Noah being friends in the future.

Okay, I dissolved into a fit of giggles at:

"Familiar activities often help an amnesiac recover their memories," said Reid. "Do you want to make out?"

I really, really, really wish we could get the actors to play out this story; because this would be freaking AWESOME!

Thanks for reading and commenting. It's always fun imaging ESS acting out the Reid parts in fanfic. Maybe imaging him acting out all of the parts in all fanfic would be fun.

Fabulous chapter! I look forward to the moments when Reid starts to get him memory back. For now, it was a great angle having Luke fill Reid in on much of their shared past.

[nancygrew]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your commenting.

This is great! I love the polygamy part and the way Luke has to defend his chess skills...Such a fun idea and so many great lines from Reid LOL

[nancygrew]

Thank you very much. Since Luke wouldn't be any challenge to a former chess prodigy, I like the idea that Reid is willing to play with him because he is a big sap who just likes hanging out with Luke.

Lowell is magic, as are you.

Sharing his cookies with this guy he just met -- they can talk about 2009 Reid not liking Luke as much as they want, but actions speak louder.

I'm trying to picture Reid's face when he's called "champ." It would have been amazing.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Yep, nothing says attraction like, "Hey, sailor. Want to share my cookies?"
