I know it has to come to its natural conclusion, but I'll be sorry to see this tale end!

I think there's a country song entitled, "I Love This Bar" - and I sure do. There's always a terrific blend of characters.
It had been three hours since he had phoned Nick – how much trouble could he have got up to in that short a time?
Oh, I think Nick could probably get up to a whole lot of trouble in a lot less than three hours - if he wanted to. But luckly for Jeremy he doesn't want to - at least not the type of trouble Jeremy is worried about. They do make a good match. I love how Nicky pouts so quickly - but gets over it quickly too, and that he's only mildly annoyed with Jeremy's reticence with PDA. And while he's probably a little more than mildly annoyed that Jeremy has to work tomorrow, his feelings about that, combined with Jeremy's jealousy over all the attention being given to his Nicky's ass, should make for some hot lovin' tonight!
So it appears that Lance and Sergio are back to the "on again" phase of their relationship. Poor Jeeves. Thanks, Louise!

Oh, dear. I don't know what to think. On the one hand, he was just released this morning; but on the other hand, the pills don't seem enough to manage the pain.
And there was no assurance, lacking Wes Brown’s influence over the hospital, that anyone would let Colson in to see him or speak to him.
I'm so glad you addressed this, Louise. Even with the precautions of wills and poa's, etc., gay couples can't piece together the protection and security and rights that only legal marriage can provide. Poor boys. I'm glad Colson called Edna. Thanks, Louise.

yep... one of the biggest potential challenges of writing a follow-on story to BBM with a gay couple living together was what to do about the legal hurdles and public condemnation, the lack of rights and privileges allowed to Colson and Ellery? I had originally conceptualized "Taking Chances" as the tale that would be a "bringing the killer to justice" which meant my original character had to either be a lawyer, or better still, a detective with enough seniority to investigate something off his own turf, and this had the additional advantage of giving him the power to open doors that would be firmly closed to most any other gay couple.
