This chapter began so positively, and ended so ominously...that was a bit of a letdown, but I enjoyed everything in between! It was so great to see Brian and Nick showing goodwill toward one another again, and the singing parts were a lot of fun! It's just too bad that Brian didn't seize that moment to speak to Nick about his previous plans... it's all to easy to anticipate that now his suggestion to share everything from now on will eventually be seen as manipulative. :( I wonder how long we have before the foreshadowed fateful moment.. and I hope there's a way back.
Otherwise, I wonder if we'll get to see more of the collaborative voice therapy.. and maybe an update on Nick's poor face? ;)
Keep up the great writing!

Sorry for the lack of reviews. I'm still reading this and enjoying it tremendously. I often read on the go whenever the baby is napping and forget to review. Ooooops!! Anyways, I love how the tension keeps building up between Brian and Nick and then almost resolving itself. It's exactly how I picture their real life relationship to be at the moment. The cliffhanger at the end of this chapter has definitely left me wanting more. Looking forward to the next update!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the story. I feel like there's a lot of seesaw moments in their relationship, too. I think they've grown a lot closer since Nick got engaged/married like now that he's there, too, Nick understands what made Brian pull away, what that felt like. I think he maybe respects what happened more in retrospect and that's why they're getting along better now than they used to. That's my observation now. Like real life Nick and Brian, not just mine. lol Obvs in my story they're still fighting until that talk last chapter, LOL.
