Really good chapter. I could feel Bill's puzzlement over Tom's behaviour and how confused Tom is by his own feelings. Looking forward to the next chapter x

Author's Response: Oh, thank you, thank you! It means so much to me! You can't imagine how awesome your feedback is. Or maybe you can :) I don't know, but I'm immensely grateful because I've been re-reading the story and often thought - am I dwelling too much on their inner musings? I assume what you just wrote means that it's not over the top and that makes me so happy :) Thank you again and I hope you'll keep enjoying the story ;)
