Well he better have a fetish for them. piercings are hot. except, you know, when they itch like a MoFo. But that's only while they're healing.

Ever since Juan showed up, I've been intrigued by him. I didn't expect him to be there. And I'm starting to wonder if maybe Colonel Crazypants had something to do with his death.

I was proud of Noah for mentioning the kissing. I wasn't sure he would. He's been fairly direct so far, but I'm not sure that Luke's been getting it. Still toying with it.

I'm glad you liked that paragraph. It was hard to write, but apparently worth it, if people are responding to it.

Thank you, as always, for giving such glorious feedback. It makes continuing that much more fun.
