OMG...!!!
I'm so excited for Liam and Justin, but also a bit worried...I hope it was one of Carl's men...
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're excited! Hmm, that question will be answered...evenutually ;)

Oh, wow! I'm surprised Brian didn't have a heart attack straight away when he glanced at that monitor and saw Justin at his door. His exchange with Carl was really rather sad... Still very curious about what actually happened in that garage so many years ago. I'm not sure how Brian's going to handle being so close to Justin. And I'm not sure how long before Justin believes what his heart is trying to tell him - that Liam is Brian. Hoping the person spying on Justin is one of Carl's men.
Can't wait for the next update!
Author's Response: You're absolutely right about Brian :) And it's going to be a challenge to be with Justin without telling him the truth. As for Justin, you will see, too. I really liked writing that part.
We will know (one day haha) who was the one making the phone call. Until then, a lot of revelations are coming.
Thank you as always for your amazing support Trish! Hope all is well for you <3

Oh, you little tease, you! I'm kind of surprised, actually, that you DID have them meet, b/c I think the longer they're together, the more "Brian'isms" will emerge involuntarily, and make Justin more suspicious of who "Liam" really is, such as that statement from Liam "Is that a particularly...difficult question?" Such a 'Brian' thing to say.
And Brian is playing with fire by agreeing to give Justin some pointers on taking photographs. No matter HOW careful someone is, I don't think you can ever totally eliminate who you really are, and I just can't see Justin not being able to make the connection eventually. He's too smart for that.
And that ending! Obviously, the two of them are in danger already! I'm loving the mystery, angst, and tension in this story! Looking forward to the next part. ~Kim
Author's Response: LOL! I know. And I get you're puzzled too. I considered at first keeping them apart, but in the end, the temptation of making them interact as 'Liam' and Justin was too great. I also believes that Justin could not recognize Brian. It's been years, and Brian has changed a lot, not just physically. I will explain why although at some point. The sentence I used was too good to pass, but again, for Justin, it's been years and Brian is a memory now. Even though he will question things of course, he would think he's insane if he acknowledged that Brian could be alive. And again, Liam is very different from Brian.
As for Brian, yes, he is playing with fire. But who can blame him? And in a way, he thinks that if he discovers why Justin is here, he'll be able to keep everyone safe. Of course, things are way more complicated than that.
And... I won't say more about that ending :D
Thakn you so much for another amazing review, my friend. It's always a delight to read your thoughts :) <3

This chapter had me clutching all my pearls! Brian almost lost his mind when he spotted Justin on his monitor. I have to ask, Brian has been "dead" for six years but he woke up in a hospital three years ago? Was he in a coma or had amnesia? Can't wait for the next update.
Author's Response: LOL! Brian had quite a shock, right? I promise you you will know everything about Liam's past since he supposedly died but you might be onto something :)
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate that :)

Of course I've seen photos of Gale with messy hair and beard and in some of them I didn't recognize him at all so with that image in my head I can easily understand Justin's confusion. And naturally Brian is still drawn to his beautiful blonde - Justin is smart, he'll figure it out. I can imagine how Brian will feel when he discovers what happen to Justin. Now, who was the man across the street on the phone - ideas are popping into my head. Looking forward to what's next.
Author's Response: I thought about Justin recognizing him right away, but then, it wouldn't have been as fun to write. I thought having them in this situation would spice things up a little. But as you say, it won't last and eventually, Justiin will figure it out, we just have to wait and see how long it takes.
Thank you for reading and commenting Monica!, I deeply appreciate that :)

Ooh, I am getting excited! I love the twist on how they will be able to spend time together. Brian cannot resist Justin, not that he ever could lol
it also seems Conner is a little jealous too? Hmmm? lol
And how can Justin not know it is him with this line..."Is that a particularly... difficult question?" Liam enunciates slowly, making Justin feel like a moron while his heart inexplicably skips a beat." I mean that is just so Brian lol But then again Justin could think his attraction because he reminds him of Brian lol
I cannot wait to see how this all works out. Thank God I have a lot to do otherwise I would be dying waiting two weeks to find out lol
I hope all is well with you <3
Lisa
Author's Response: Yay!! I'm so happy you love that twist :D And yes, Brian resisting Justin is not an option :)
Connor is not necessarily jealous, although he sure doesn't understand what's going on between them.
and lol I know that line would make the readers scream, but I couldn't resist. Now, of course, it's been years since Justin saw Brian, so even though hearing this sentence causes a reaction, it doesn't necessarily make him understand instantly who he is talking too. And okay, I really wanted to explore this part where Justin wouldn't know who Liam is. I think it's one of the best part of this story :D
You're so kind! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm my friend, I'm thrilled you like it. Hope all is well with you, too. I'm okay, just very busy at the moment :)
Take care and thank you again <3 <3 <3

Ou la la c'est vraiment excitant ! Bien sûr qu'ils vont se reconnaître ils s'aiment trop pour ne pas le faire (enfin c'est mon avis).
J'ai hâte de savoir pourquoi Brian est là, Est ce qu'il est dans un programme de protection de témoins ? Pourquoi ? Je suis impatiente de voir l'évolution de leur relation si Brian doit se cacher !
Et Carl qui est au courant ça doit être très sérieux et compliqué.
J'adore ce chapitre, je suis toute excitée, merci Alois.
Coucou de Bayonne !
Author's Response: Je suis ravie que cela te plaise! Il y a encore pleins de questions en suspens mais maintenant que Justin a rencontré Liam, ça va bouger. J'ai vraiment aimé écrire cette partie où Brian doit prétendre ne pas connaitre Justin, j'espère que cela te plaira aussi :D
Merci encore pour tes commentaires Marie-France :) Bisous mouillés du Finistère <3

OMG! Excellent chapter!
So, Brian is indeed Liam and he is in hiding to protect his loved ones from Malone. Obviously Brian was not the person who left the magazine that led Justin to him so who was it? Does Malone suspect he's alive? Well it's most likely just been confirmed if he does. I'm wondering though if maybe the mysterious man on the phone outside Brian's studio was someone Carl knows. I really hope so.
You did an amazing job describing Brian's appearance. He looks suspiciously like he has in recent years😍. I have to admit I'm a bit shocked that Justin didn't recognize Brian right away. Even more surprised that he didn't recognize his voice or even his gait or feel the usual spark when they shook hands. Justin is clearly battling with his inner self because he feels something is off but doesn't seem to be entertaining the idea that Brian and Liam are one in the same. Very puzzling indeed.
Brian is taking a huge risk interacting with Justin more than he probably should if he wants to keep his identity hidden. I'm a bit surprised Carl suggested it too. Justin will figure it out sooner or later. That will not be pretty. The betrayal will be worse because Brian didn't reveal himself to Justin right away. All it will take is a kiss and Justin will know or at least I hope he will. I'm not sure how long or even if Brian can pull this off. Brian and Justin are like magnets, they can't stay off each other when in close proximity.
The plot thickens... I love this mystery and can't wait to read the next installment!
Author's Response: Yay!
I'm loving your thoughts on this. I won't confirm nor deny anything about Brian and Malone, but yay, love them so much!
When I first started writing this, I thought Justin must recognize him. But then, it wouldn't have been fun LOL And, realistically, Justin is convinced Brian is dead, so even though he's going to react strongly to Liam (you will see * grin *) for now, he can't imagine this is Brian. And the truth is, Brian is very different from the man he used to be, although I couldn't resist writing that line. Now, again, it's been six years, and while we fans identify some quotes easily, realistically, Justin doesn't, not after so many years.
Brian is taking a risk, that's true. Carl wants to know what's going on, and again, is confident Justin can't recognize Brian. But Carl doesn't know how close Justin and Brian were, not really, since he doesn't know Justin.
I promise things will spice up from now on!
Thanks so much for another amazing comment Laura!! <3

Omg how can he not know that Liam is Brian?! Even if his hair is long & his beard is unkept, his eyes are the same & when he said, "Is that a particularly difficult question" just like he did in the diner....well duh Justin! I was expecting Justin to jump in his arms....maybe his years using drugs has changed his senses & intuition?? Such a great chapter! So excited for more!
Author's Response: lolol Justin clearly can't imagine Brian is alive. Realistically, even though it's Brian, six years have passed and he isn't the same man, nor physically, nor emotionally. Honestly, Liam is not that attractive but don't worry, while Justin refuses to think his initial theory could be true, I have a feeling he will feel things he won't understand... And, okay, I'm evil but hey, what would have been the fun hif he had recognized him right away? * grin *
Love your reviews so much Glo! Hope all is well with you <3

To me Byron fits the pictures of him after QAF, so it fits perfectly. Does he not know of the picture in the magazine? Justin doesn't seem sure that Byron is Brian and who could blame him. However asking Byron to teach him photography is brilliant. I hope the guy with the cell phone is one of Horvath's men, because if not it could mean trouble.
Author's Response: It's true while I was writing I thought it would kind of fit Gale Harold now. And you'll have your answer about Liam knowing about the picture in the magazine in the next couple of chapters. I think Justin just realistically can't imagine Brian is alive. But hey, that means they are going to spend some time together and I promise it will get interesting! As for the phone call, we will know... eventually.
Thank you for another wonderful review Phyllis! <3
