Huh, you have the uncanny ability to come up with new chapters right as I begin to wonder about them lol. That last scene has me a little emotional, ngl. Be still, my heart and all that jazz. This chapter hurt... I was sure it was gonna be one step ahead and 2 back based on where we left off in the last chapter. But then seeing Flea care, and use words and express his feelings like a real boy has been very heartwarming. And I got to threaten shitty teenagers with an ass beating, so my grouchy old self is very satisfied now. As always, looking forward to the next time! Keep yourself safe until then :).
