Nice continuation, keeping the present tense and feel from the original. Was that a twist in there that Bennet wants Garreth romantically? A bold choice and certainly a new direction to take the story if I understood that correctly.
LoA

umm… THX … i’m pretty sure that bennett and Garret are both guys.. not that i have anything against gay people, I’m just fairly sure that that’s not what’s going on. at least how i read it.
but other than that, i agree with THX – flowed very nicely from the prequel.

The jury is still out on if I agree with THX or One Time, becasue, Kermitgorf, you have a record for mixing it up when it comes to romantic genders. maybe if you cleared the air on that point it would make the story more understandable. Give some more about the alterior motives for getting the dog or lack thereof (besides the fact that his dog had died)—if you have space left or can cut a sentence to fit it in. It’s up to you entirely.

wow i found this one.. man this was written ages ago! I forgot how cute this story was.. we shold pick up on this story and breathe some new life into it.
