Great update, Rose. I like how you managed to touch on a little bit of everything in this chapter without going too overboard with any of it. Love the bonding Kevin, Nick and Howie moments and of course Brian and Nick at the end, the only thing missing was Brian telling Nick he was sorry for being a lug nut all those years ago. I don't know why, but I feel like I need an apology to get over my feelings about all of that!
I do wonder and hope that kind of discussion really did go down. I could see Nick being the one to address the issue and then feel guilty about it. For all we know, it was Howie being all "Brian you suck! we are doing things THIS way!!" We are all probably missing the mark with him and he is somehow the ruthless leader of the pack! I couldn't even say that with a straight face! LOL
Anyway, great to see you writing again.
