Good things come to those who wait. *grin* That's the plan, anyway...

Thank you. I liked ending things there, with the brothers opening up, so now they can finally try to deal with everything between them. It will be a help to both of them. They should have enough sense to be there for Buck too, instead of wallowing in their own self pity.

Well, if it tastes like ass and Frances liked it, then clearly... *snicker* Leave it to Ripp, right? He's a jackass, but at least he's nice enough to not say what he's thinking.
