What an attractive young man is that Lauren. I am surprised he doesn't have more guys chasing after him.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing!
And, yes, "sweet and wonderful" are the best words to describe that chapter! (Totally unexpected would apply, also!)
Louise, you've given us these great windows into the different dynamics of the different relationships! Fascinating!
Hmm . . . and wondering about other guys chasing after Lauren. I remember Lauren telling Ennis that he was a virgin when he met Simon. Are you still taking suggestions for short stories? What a great one that would make - Simon and Pookie's first meeting - and subsequent 'courtship!' Just think, there could be a chapter titled "Pookie's First Time!"
Great work, as always!
Thanks - Marie
