I admit, I’m hoping for a dramatic rescue by Patrick and Hestia! Or perhaps there will be a sudden help by the “Applegate”?

Oooh, things are heating up! And Patrick is finally beginning to take care of someone else, albeit poorly. This was great fun to read.

The creepier Computer Man gets, the more I don’t like him. Ugh.

I REALLY love this team up; they’re good for each other.

And I had to laugh at Hestia’s comment about germs at night; sounds terribly familiar.

I think this was my favorite chapter yet. From the point that all human life is valuable to the knowledge that there is a time of life when you let yourself be loved—and the doubts that made the chapter so human. Lovely.

One, Patrick getting bored made me smile. Two, Patrick telling her it couldn't be heaven because of the FOOD was priceless.

Three, he actually is impressive, even if grumpy, and I'm really, really glad you showed that.

And I really, really like this new teacup. Grumpy young man and take-no-nonsense Grandma. This is WONDERFUL!

That was terrifying. Really, really terrifying.

Oh, I LIKE this. Really, really like this. Including the young, for this is true to life, and openness is the way to go. Dangerous, too, but I love this.

Beautiful ending line

Oh, I feel really sorry for her. It is NOT easy being old.

Oh, this looks like a lovely team up!

This is terrifying. Immediately applicable to our age, especially the way the language is couched. And I REALLY like Henry and he better not be lying. Also, I am really, really hoping the elderly put the youth in their place!

I really like that beginning of their story.

I hope he’s good in the end. I kind of like him. But I’m suspicious...

I’m beginning to really hate them.
