Oh, gosh, this is such a moving and lovely chapter. Sad too though: I’m sure that you were a big part of giving him that, Luke. I’m grateful that the love you thought you were imparting to me gave Andrew a taste of what that felt like before he died.

You were probably the only person who had said those words to him, Luke.

I cried at this because Luke does give off a lot of love and he gave some to Andrew even if he didn't know it.

Oh, and I want (can I demand?) an epilogue. 2 more!!!

I really wanted there to be some mention what transpired on the day that "Reid" died...all of those things that Luke said to him and he didn't even get to hear them.

I also wanted there to be some kind of redemption for Andrew...I hated that I wrote a character who'd been hurt the way he had been and didn't get a happy ending.

I do think an epilogue is more than probable.
Thank you!

[vintagelamb]

Thank you...this chapter's outline was written when I first started this story. I really wanted Andrew to have experienced one good thing in his life and I wanted Reid to know it.

YES, to all of this! Jeers to the mean-spirited hack job done by ATWT writers but cheers to vintagelamb for giving us an ending that is moving and appropriate.

[vintagelamb]

Gosh...thank you. I don't think I've ever been "cheered".

[vintagelamb]

I have to admit to hoping that the writing strikes a chord...and tears are kind of good.

I'm sure you can ascertain that Reid's ending was very unsatisfying for me...and, in fact, made me livid. I had no choice but to write my own fix.

Thank you for buying the twin story...I warned at the beginning that it might be tough to swallow!

Thank you!

Very moving, Reid is dealing with it and Luke is helping him through it so he can heal. And Reid is LETTING him. That's what makes Reid such a good partner for Luke (among other things). You WILL write that epilogue, right? ;)

[vintagelamb]

Yup...Reid is finished shutting Luke out...he's seen what life is like without him.

The epilogue is looking likely...one more chapter to get in the can first.
