Make a wish... and it might happen. :D The other guys left Debbie, Michael, and the diner. I'm pretty sure Debbie's work ethic with follow her around Pittsburgh. She might have a hard time getting a job.
I have a hard time thinking Debbie didn't get an anti tag... ;)
Poor Mel. What awful stuff for her to find in her home.

Hahahahahaha ~ Mel beat Lindsay to the accounts! Hallelujah!
So, Debbie thinking the guys on Liberty wanted Michael to be their friend...well, she just found out what they really thought of Michael and her. I hope the guys in the diner feel the same.

Boy-oh-boy! That was a shocker, and did Mel ever play her cards right. At least all the Gus problems lay at Lindsay's feet. She called the shots. Is she on her way to teling Debbie and Michael about Mel's baby?
Who is the father? Did Mel use Ted? Or go with an actual donor? If it's Ted, hopefully he can move to Chicago right away.

Oh, Goody! Brian's gonna use the green card! I always knew that would bite her if push came to shove.
I can just imagine when Lindsay gets home. She is going to lay into Mel! Sje better realize that SHE opened this up. And why? Because Michael suggested it.
Speaking of Michael, he's just as delusional as ever!
And Lindsay saying she could raise Hannah... what a joke! She would only want the check that came every month with the girl.

Yep... The Kip debacle is out in the open now. It was probably entertaining to Cynthia.
I'm still smirking about Deb's comment that all the people on Liberty Ave will be supporting Michael against the big, bad wolf. I can picture everyone lining up, clapping as he's kicked out of town. (wouldn't that be funny?)
It's nice for Ted and Emmett to hear about Michael's birthday party, and why what happened happened. It would be nice if the punch at the muncher's party was revealed, too. Since Justin had a secret exposed, Brian should have one too.

Was Daphne's comment about Kip? It was bound to be public knowledge at some point. I wonder if Justin and Daphne can come up with a story before they get to the restaurant.
Goody! Justin punched Michael. Long time overdue.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 7:29 am Title: Chapter 8
I wonder when Mel's baby is due? She's going to trade in Brian for two of the worst people in Pittsburgh.
I'm glad Brian and Justin talked. I'm very sure Cynthia wouldn't mind leaving Vangard, to work for Brian. Ted is a good choice, too.
I'm curious what Justin's house is like in Chicago? At least in Chicago, I highly doubt Debbie and Michael could follow. They'd never make enough money to survive. As for Lindsay, well, let's just say she could probably earn enough money to live there, although she'd be shunned by the others.

Brian's still fighting demons. Between his original family and the one with the Novotnys and Lindsay, he can't live the life he wants.
Ted seems incisive, like he grew up the night he left Brian's homecoming get-together. He needs to go see Emmett, not call, but go in person.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 6:35 am Title: Chapter 6
How does Melanie come to the conclusion that she won't have problems with both Novotny's? I'm having a hard time not laughing.
Brian does have a lot to make up for. Not only for his actions, but those of his "besties." He left him to deal with the wolves. It really wouldn't have hurt him to open one of Justin's letters. Just to see if there was something he needed to know. Because by doing that, it showed Justin that Lindsay was correct.
Thank the heavens he had Emmett.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 4:52 am Title: Chapter 5
Charles gave Ted some stuff to think about. He definitely needs to grovel to Emmett, but Emmett's sweet nature won't make him go that far.
I think Mel is catching on to Lindsay and her shrewdness. That whole lingo she spouted didn't even make sense. She was all over the place.
So, Brian got a kiss in, and both kids watched it. :D

I love that Gus and Hannah seemed to get along right from the start.
Our boys need to sit down and have a total heart-to-heart.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 1:29 am Title: Chapter 3
It's getting more tense. I'm really hating three people right now.
But Hannah sounds like a very precocious child.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 1:11 am Title: Chapter 2
This is so captivating. Two chapters in, and I can't read fast enough.
I wonder what Mel's take is on this. She wasn't at the "party" so I'm not sure.
Deb's got some nerve showing up there. She needs to remember when she sides with Michael and Lindsay, she gets kicked to the curb, too.





Date: Sep 23, 2025 12:57 am Title: Chapter 1
Wonderful start. Brian is going to rake Lindsay and Michael over the hot coals.
I can hardly wait. But Emmett? Sweetest person EVER! But where's Ted?
Date: May 21, 2024 7:26 pm Title: Chapter 1
Yay, Emmett! Always the bestest friend ??

This was a great story!! I'm glad that Deb finally saw the light and turned her life around. Here's hoping that after Lindsay attacked him, Michael will, too, but I seriously have my doubts about that one. I am glad that Justin turned the tables on Lindsay before she was able to really do something to him.

I decided a few days ago to start re-reading some of my favorite QaF stories to help me relax as the news of the Corona virus worsened. Job done - this has been just as good the second time around, so my thanks to this wonderful author.

I love this story!!

I thought of something. Wasn’t Ted the oldest of the gang? Brandon’s friend calls Mike the old guy. Yet later Brandon marries Ted. Had to smile. Smackdown 😊

I absolutely loved this story. Can't wait for a sequel.

I hope she has to stay in prison for a while. Therapy might also be a good idea.

OMG This is hilarious. Justin showed her who the real man is. I love it.
