Aw I loved the Unbreakable tour and the CD.
Yes, I can see how Howie would get a crush on Nick after those topless pics. He did look pretty hot! Don't like the sound of that wheatgrass shit though lol
Author's Response: LOL I figured if there was any one moment in time where Howie would feel a physical attraction to Nick, it was then. That People shoot was so hot!! Thanks for the review!

Again, it's nice to see the start of things. I wonder if Howie does survive how things will play out. So interesting seeing the layers of this. You always had a knack for that.
Author's Response: Thanks!! The relationship dynamics in this story have been really interesting to write. I'm actually enjoying that aspect than the medical drama, which is not how I usually am, but I hope that means my writing is evolving to become more character-driven and less plot-driven. I have some things planned out for later in the story, but others will be up to the characters. I have my thoughts on how things will go, but if they don't cooperate, that will likely change. We'll see!

I enjoyed that you used this chapter as a chance to present a bit of the back-story. It was a refreshing break from all of the heartache and seriousness of the last chapter. I know I've said this before, but the whole situation is just so believable that I often have to remind myself that it's not true!! HAHA (Sorry Howie!) I totally remember that People magazine article and thinking (like Howie) that Nick looked good. That was probably the first time in my life that I'd ever thought that he was good looking (not as good looking as Brian mind you). LOL I've also grown to appreciate Nick more over the years as he's become healthier and (I think) happier. I'm not sure why I didn't like him in the beginning as he's the closest to my age ... *shrugs* Oh well!
Author's Response: Thanks! I needed a way to keep up switching POVs every chapter, and it was hard to figure out what to write with Howie comatose, so I thought a couple of chapters of him thinking back on his life and showing some of the back story would be interesting. I'm glad you liked it! I am the exact same way with Nick - he used to be my least favorite back in the 90s; maybe it was because everyone else liked him and I wanted to be different, but I just found him annoying. He started to grow on me after his first solo album, and now I would put him right behind Brian as my favorite. I definitely drooled over the pictures in that People article! He is definitely more attractive, inside and out, than he used to be.
