Thank you Bambi... such a good little deer.

This broke my heart, especially since I had to hide my boy away to deal with his own nonsense where he couldn't help yours. I worried about it being melodramatic, but the emotions really felt true in this scene, and the telekinetic bit worked too.

Poor little Johnny. Harry will be in touch, once he turns on his com again.

Well, Harry's breaking mine right now, so I guess we're even. [hugz]

Thanks, hon. I'm glad it came out sounding realistic. I wanted drama (well, OK, I'll confess my comment to Raven in the chat window was something along the lines of, "What the heck? It's tacky, but let's get dramatic." [grin]) but I definitely didn't want to cross the line into melodrama. I wanted people feeling for Johnny, not snickering at him. And Christian's reactions were perfect, too; having him to bounce off of made this run much more smoothly. :D

Johnny's looking forward to talking to Harry again. He's gotten no sexual vibes off him at all -- nothing giftish, just experience -- and his straightforward manner is very... grounding. Maybe they can distract each other by swapping complaints about the world over a beer. [wry smile]
