RAY!

My love for him just increased, if such a thing is possible. Which I doubt.

Thank you so much for saying that! Because that is just about my favorite comment to read and my favorite to write, as well. If my story made you love Ray more then it is a success. \o/

Ach! This is brilliant. I love the scenes as teenages, because they're so real - terribly awkward and sometimes sweet but mostly awful and embarrassing,

I know! Even before that stage, even in middle school. My kids are going through the beginnings of that crap, and my heart aches for them.

and I love Fraser and Ray just working together - I think 'Because they understood each other without having to explain much of anything' is my favourite line.

Aw, thank you. It's a guy thing, I think, right? There is great relief in not having to explain...not the same attitude toward explanations that women generally have, right? :)

Thank you so much for this comment, which made my week! I want every reader to come away loving RayK at least a little bit more. \o/
