Loved this story!! Can't wait to read the next part. I'm so happy Justin better and now they are broaching the subject of him having his own child. I'm excited to see where that takes them<3

It's great to read that the weight has been lifted and Justin is feeling so much better. He finally got what his problem was and is conscious that moving is not the solution.
Poor Sally, she better expect other interruptions from Justin.
Author's Response:
Justin is coming along very well now that he has figured out why he was wanting to leave Britin. Now he just has to start painting again.

It does seem such a paltry sum to pay for the impact of the crime had on Justin, but I guess it’s true he is seeking help and it was a mental health not evil intent
Author's Response:
$500 is small, but so is community service for hitting someone with a baseball bat. Justice is not always on Justin's side.

How awesome would it be to have a friend like Daphne, her skill getting Justin to sort through his feelings was epic
Author's Response:
Everyone does need a friend like Daphne. However, most friends are going to want to give advice where Daphne just helps Justin sort through his feelings.
Date: Oct 11, 2019 5:56 pm Title: Chapter 35- A Little Therapy
I usually like Justin and I understand that the situation is difficult, but he should have talked to a therapist before blurting out his need to move. It's never good to act on an impulse. He is lucky that they have money and possibilities to find a new place.
Now that it's done, he is both angry and grateful to Brian who acted fast to prevent a nervous breakdown. I hope that Justin will try to find answers and get on with his life, then go back to his home and studio. It would be a pity to leave this mansion.
Author's Response:
Agreed. He would have been much better off if he had talked to someone, even Daphne before just up and moving. He has to work through his anxiety before he can move forward.
Date: Oct 06, 2019 9:26 am Title: Chapter 34- The Moment of Truth
Great to read that John finally opened his eyes and asked for help. Will it allow Justin to see that he doesn't need to worry so much?
Author's Response:
Justin still has to work through his anxiety. It was pretty disconcerting to think that someone thought he was your boyfriend.
Date: Sep 30, 2019 4:35 pm Title: Chapter 33- Moving to the City
I can't help thinking they are moving too fast out of Britin and Justin is going nowhere with his hesitation. Maybe they should take a trip for a few days and really think at the possibilities to move forward.
Author's Response:
Sometimes money is not always the best thing to have.
Date: Sep 30, 2019 4:00 pm Title: Chapter 32- What Justin Wants
In my last comment I wrote that it could be easy to follow someone with a public life, but I think since the stalker knows Kinnetik, it would always be easy to find Brian, therefore Justin. The more I think about that, the less obvious this solution seems and I don't see how they could find one if they still live the same life.
Author's Response:

Sorry, I thought I responded to this comment. True, if someone wanted to find them, they could. Justin wanting to leave Britin to protect his privacy would not probably work very well. We will see if he rethinks his ideas.

Even if the move isn't the best solution because the stalker found Justin once, so he could do it again. With some patience, it must not be that difficult to follow someone with a public life and find their address. At least, it could give Justin some lost sentiment of security.
Date: Sep 22, 2019 11:35 pm Title: Chapter 32- What Justin Wants
Justin was always a selfish brad, he did get himself into this mess and now Brian has to suffer
Author's Response:
Thought I responded to this- oops- Brian loves him and when you love someone you do things that are difficult.
Date: Sep 20, 2019 11:18 am Title: Chapter 32- What Justin Wants
Aw Brian you so love your sunshine
Author's Response:
Yes he does and he will do anything to keep him safe and happy, even moving.
Date: Sep 13, 2019 8:36 am Title: Chapter 31- You Can't Always Get What You Want, But if You Try Sometimes, You Can Get What you Need
Ah I am not surprised that Justin feels his sanctuary has been invaded and wants to move, I would to. I loved how gentle Brian was with Justin and how no bullshit Daphne was with him
Author's Response:
Brian is very protective of Justin and always wants to make him feel safe. The stalker and all that surround him are very scary for both of them. Daphne, as always, is a rock for Justin.
Date: Sep 10, 2019 9:41 pm Title: Chapter 30- The Visitor
Sorry I haven’t commented for a while. I totally understand Brian’s need to wrap Justin up and keep him safe because that’s as you said is what Brian does. Interesting Daphne, Brian, and Jennifer all know Justin differently but all know he still has something percolating in his head.
Author's Response:
Thanks for commenting. I appreciate comments no matter when they are written. I'm jsut happy that you are still reading the story. My posting on this one is a little more erratic than I like. Everyone knows Justin from a different perspective but I think they all have a deep understanding of how he thinks. While he had different roles with each person, they can pick out that he is not acting like he normally does with each of them.
Date: Sep 10, 2019 6:16 pm Title: Chapter 30- The Visitor
Daphne the "bestest" of the best friends! Only she could get something out of Justin.
I would worry if there was no light outside and no curtain on the windows. Too easy to see inside.
Author's Response:
I think Daphne really worries about Justin and in this story she trusts Brian and Brian trusts her to help Justin. This is especially true when Justin isn't always forthcoming in his thoughts.
Date: Aug 31, 2019 8:50 am Title: Chapter 29- Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda
Evil cliffhanger!!! If the person asks if Brian is Justin's partner, we could guess it's not the stalker who should know what Brian looks like. Is it one of his friends?
Author's Response:
Soemtimes I write cliffhangers, but oftentimes I prefer closure in a chapter. I know I hate cliffhangers. So glad that you are still reading and I really do appreciate your comments.!!!!!
Date: Aug 23, 2019 6:01 pm Title: Chapter 28-A Visit From Gus
Is the restraining order for both Justin and Brian or only for Justin?
If it's only for Justin, there is still a risk that John might want to get rid of him in order to get Justin for himself.
It seems that Justin is finally painting, thanks to Gus and also the visit to the museum. He seems accepting the situation and stopped being sorry for what happened.
Author's Response:
Sorry for the late reply. I think that is a really good thought, but for now the restraining order is just for Justin. Brian thinks he is invinsible. Justin is slowly reaching for his comfort zone- painting and of course Gus is helping.
Date: Aug 19, 2019 1:10 am Title: Chapter 27- The Defense
He would try to explain that the records were erased or other options. He is delusional and delusional people don't respond to reason.
Date: Aug 18, 2019 7:10 am Title: Chapter 27- The Defense
Maybe John should be asked to show his phone records; it should be obvious that he didn't call Justin.
Author's Response:
I hate it when I make a new comment when I think I'm responding. Delusional people will make up some reason for not believing three explanation.
Date: Aug 18, 2019 6:55 am Title: Chapter 26- Get Out of Jail Free
It might be difficult for the friends to explain why they are here to meet with John.
Author's Response:
This is s tricky part of the story. It appears that John may be so delusional that he will be easily convinced.
Date: Aug 10, 2019 10:17 pm Title: Chapter 24- A Visit with The Doctor
Good sequel thank you for continuing it.
Author's Response:
Thank you for letting me know you are still reading. It means a lot to know that folks are enjoying the stories.
Date: Aug 09, 2019 1:39 am Title: Chapter 26- Get Out of Jail Free
thank you for the update
Author's Response:
So glad you are still reading. New chapter posted today.
Date: Jul 30, 2019 5:55 pm Title: Chapter 25- The Release
Still reading and still interested! I didn't have lots of time to keep up with all my favorites.
Brian had some balls rolling; he just has to wait, which he hates doing. Glad that Gus and Daphne are coming: they should break the moody atmosphere.
Author's Response:
Glad that you are still reading. I appreciate your comments. Gus and Daphne are great distractions for Justin.
Date: Jul 30, 2019 5:30 pm Title: Chapter 24- A Visit with The Doctor
The tricky part begins: how to explain their presence and how to keep John away from Pittsburgh?
Author's Response:
So many tricky parts. It will be interesting to see if John puts two and two together and questions why they are there.
Date: Jul 30, 2019 5:08 pm Title: Chapter 23- At the Musuem
Great idea to get Justin into the museum! He seems to have his mojo back. Gus might help by being a good student.
Author's Response:
Brian knows that Justin loves musuems and will often lose himself there.
Date: Jul 30, 2019 4:48 pm Title: Chapter 22-Asking For Help
I don't know the rules and regulations regarding the visits/consults from one state to another, but Sam should be able to assist/get info from the doctors from the hospital, if it can help assessing John. The goal being getting him adequate treatment/counselling so he won't be a threat to Justin anymore.
Author's Response:
I don't know the rules either- used poetic license here- hope it works for the reader
