Ok - so this is a ggod thing, right?
Sandy knows all about Art and is thus going to help him, right?
We're not going to find Ryan in a gutter, right?
Huh? Right??

[anne35]

Weeeelllll...it's kind of a good thing. I mean it certainly can't hurt. Sandy's going to try and help him. However, I will say that this story has at least five more chapters and an epilogue. So that is kind of a hint/indication that the information won't do Sandy or Ryan any good right away.
We're not going to find Ryan in a gutter, right?
NEVER!!!! I could never kill Ryan. But I haven't figured out what to do with Art at the end of the story...finding him in a gutter may be a proper ending for him.

Oh So Great.

Love this.

[anne35]

Thanks, brandy. I really appreciate you letting me know that you're enjoying this story.
On a different note, I must say that you completely spoiled me over the past few days. I was so disappointed not to see you update your latest and greatest. You know "if you give a mouse a cookie..."

Poor Ryan, how has he managed to survive? I'd hope Sandy has to opportunity to punch the shit out of Art and I hope he takes it.

[anne35]

Our Ryan is quite the survivor, isn't he?
I'm afraid Sandy will probably not get the opportunity to punch Art's lights out, but I will try my best to make sure he gets what he deserves in the end.

You totally made my day (and it was really awful)! I really like this update. I've missed Ryan, Seth and Kirsten for sure, but such an update was necessary and interesting because we've learnt a lot about Ryan and his past. And I'm so glad Sandy is totally determined to help Ryan (I mean, he was before, but now, he's not going to let Ryan live back to that psycho Art).
One consequence of your fanfic : I use to like the name 'Arthur'. I don't anymore!!
Thanks again for the great update!
I'm so looking forward to read the next chapter!

[anne35]

I'm sorry about ruining the name Arthur for you.
Next chapter there will be very little Sandy, but a whole lot of Ryan and Kirsten, with bit of Seth thrown it at the last. I'm glad you thought it was a necessary addition to the story. I do tend ramble and I'm glad the readers think that this story is moving along.

p.s. My free computer time this weekend will be devoted to looking over your latest chapter.

[brassebouillon]

Next chapter sounds so great!! And I'm so looking forwards chapter 13 (Think so, if I've read correctly the comments and your replies) where the Cohen are going to discover Ryan's back's injuries.
The story is definitely moving along, it's really a great one!
Thanks for betaing ABNL!

Now I feel guilty that this chapter was so short. My life has finally settled down a bit and hopefully that means I will be able to have quicker updates than I have the past few months. I have a good start on the next chapter, so we'll see.

I just got the time to comment on this chapter, and I got to say..
Jippi! Hipp HURRA! super duper!
Don't feel guilty, it's just great that it's her.
You are one of my favorite authors.
I'm looking forward t your updates.
