hee hee, Orlando is such a sweetie! And I'm glad you had Dom feeling glad that his old boyfriend was dead. Sometimes we all feel that it is wrong to be glad about someone else's tragedy, but in this case I believe he's entitled.

[dylan_dufresne]

I think Dom's more than entitled to how he feels, considering what he went through because of that bastard.

And hee! Yeah, Orli cracks me up. Thank you :)

Wow that went remarkably well considering. That's even more proof of how far Dom's come. I'm also glad that he can be open with his Mom and Orli about everything.

[dylan_dufresne]

Yes, Dom has come a very long way, and has learned to lean on Billy for support. Keeping secrets used to be what Dom needed, but that's slowly changing. He's opening up to the people he cares about, and who care about him, so they know who he really is.

Thank you very much. :)

I was wondering if or when Dom's rapist would turn up again. I almost hate to say it, but in a way I'm glad to see him gone. Dom can move on with his life without having to worry about that monster showing up unexpectedly.

“What, you think my hair is naturally this fabulous?” Now THAT sounds like Orlando - with a bit of Legolas thrown in for good measure. I laugh every time I think of the scene where Legolas jumps off of the war beast's trunk and lands on the ground, then swishes his head around like someone in a Clairol commercial. You can almost hear him say, "Because I'm worth it!". It's hilarious.

I think Dom deserves to be able to move on, and to know that he'll never see that bastard again . . .

:::giggle::: I had to throw some Elfboy in there, and I'm pleased you enjoyed. A Clairol commercial. :::snickers:::

Thank you.

*is also glad that the asshole is dead*

you had me quite scared that there would be angst starting now.

also? check out me making with the quote thing...

“Can I hug you?” Orlando says, almost sheepishly. “I don’t know why, but I have this urge to, well, hug you.”

awww! just... *squishes*

“What, you think my hair is naturally this fabulous?” Orlando retorts, and then blushes when Dom bursts out laughing. “Okay, that came out way more nancy boy than I intended,” he adds as he shakes his head. “Bloody hell.”

“Well, you do have very nice hair,” Dom tells him, trying hard to hide his amusement.

snerk! it is true though the boy has some damn fine hair.

(i so need to make an orli 'damn fine hair' icon now.

[dylan_dufresne]

I don't think you'll find anyone who isn't glad the bastard is dead.

The angst? It's coming. Don't wish it sooner, hon.

Squishy hugs for Orlando! Hee. I rather adore him. And I want to see that icon! :::giggles:::

Thank you :)

Loving the story so far.

But I just have to mention, you may want to chage "bespeckled eyes" to "bespectacled eyes".

[dylan_dufresne]

Glad you're enjoying.
