Thank you, Bridget! I'll try not to keep you hanging for too long! I intend to have the next chapter posted on the 10th or 15th, so it won't be quite as long of a wait this time.
I have to confess that going back and forth between reading this chapter and editing my next one has me giggling, as serious as yours is! There are some similar themes going on...
Poor Reid has so much to put up with. It's clear how much losing Jewel has affected him, and I don't know how Sirius will be able to focus on all the new missions being thrown his way, not to mention Aphrodite of course.
We must be related somehow since we think alike! I'm afraid it's going to get a bit worse for Reid before it starts getting better, unfortunately for him.
Hehe, maybe so. (I don’t know how obvious it will be from the outside—but I know some heroes who would be about to get in a lot less trouble if somebody actually had these conversations.)
Uh-oh! It’s amazing what a few words can do if we actually use them! My sympathies to the heroes, I need to have one much-procrastinated discussion in real life pretty soon, and it will be interesting to see how much simpler it would have been in the first place.
Oh dear, yes. Good luck with that! I hate having those, and yet it’s always so much worse in my head.
I don’t like to write stories that could be fixed by people using their words (and I’ll be fair, it wouldn’t fix the plot) but Reid has a distinct advantage in having knowledgeable, level-headed people around him. It makes me really itch to get back into my historical fiction.
What an enjoyable mystery this is turning out to be! I'm loving the characters. Beautiful descriptions of the estate, too.
I'd really been looking forward to this, and now I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you!
Thank you, Jennifer! I expect to have the next one up on the 10th or 15th, and I’m excited for it, as well!
Oh no, I wasn’t ready for a cliffhanger! I’m excited for the next installment! And, of course, I’m loving all the atmospheric noir touches.

Thank you! That's what I often find, too. My imagination likes to be equally dramatic for real-life situations as it does in writing stories.
That's wonderful, I always love when I get that excitement back for a story!
