Well, I guess we all have secrets, and most of us, more than a few. But we mustn't forget that once we've told someone, they are no longer secrets anymore. :-) Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. Wish I had a six.

Secrets should remain with the beholder in a lit of cases. Thank you for this understanding review. Gretchen
Comment from BethShelby
It seems to me Matthew had something to do with the disappearance of Dewey's father. I sure Dewey with be happy to know Matthew isn't his father. Now I don't if it might be Huck that attacks Matthew if he follows him. I'll be anxious to read what will happen.

I'm thinking he might have gotten rid of Deweys father as well. But that's a whole other story. Lol. Thank you for this encouraging review. Gretchen
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written.
So it's a race to see who gets Matthew, Huck or Dewey. One could put him down, the other finish him off.
Good plotting. Nice how you explained why Momma would have ever married Matthew.

Thank you, Wayne. Just remember she said life is full of secrets. This revelation might just be the tip of the iceberg. Lol. Thank you. Gretchen
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Things are coming to a head. I don't know if it will be Dewey or Huck who kills that bit of slime. Poor Dewey, it would make him feel so much better if he knew the truth, but now his brother has promised his mother to keep her secret, how will he find out? I think I know, but will wait to see if I'm right!! Lol. This is a fabulous story, Gretchen. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from lyenochka
Well, Huck is about the change the world if he's going to follow his father and make sure he doesn't hurt the one he loves. Seems like he does have a love for her since he wants to protect her. What a lot of heavy burdens in the secrets that his mother shared!

Comment from Rachelle Allen
Ugh. My stomach is in knots more with every chapter. I see your name in my Inbox and my Little Voice whispers, "Oh no; let's hope it's not Coyote Boys." I'm too invested now, though, to stop reading it even though I know it's going to wreak havoc with my head and my heart. Damn you, Gretchen Hargis!! Why do you have to be SUCH a good storyteller????!!!

It's only fiction . Lol. This is exactly how I feel everytime I read my 2005 Suburban "Old Reliable" broke down in Amish country. My German heart goes "Noooo!!"
You crack me up. This one is tough for me to write. After I finish this story, I'm going back to snarky comedy. Thank you for the awesome review and the sixes. Gretchen

I'm German, too! It's our good work ethic that's our common denominator. Where's your sicko sense of humor from, though? Because the book entitled "Six Thousand Years of German Hunor is actually a 1-1/2 page 4 x 6 pamphlet.
-
It isn't what the Germans say that's funny. It's how they say it.
German knock knock joke.
German: Knock, knock
You: Who's there?
German: Ve will ask zee questions!
Hope this explains it. But you are right. I'm Irish so I'm guessing the humor is from those genes, the fact that I like dark humor is the German side.

Mine is from being Jewish. How many Jewish Mommies does it take to change a light bulb?
Nevuh mind; I'll sit here in the dark...

Bwahaha!!

I knew you'd like that. I liked your German knock-knock joke.
Comment from Samantha Wymer
I enjoyed reading more about Dewy and Huck after a long day at work. Huck is a very remarkable young man, always curious about the world around him. I love the setting of the family, reminds we how a family should be. Great writing. I can't wait until you post the next chapter.

Comment from Wendy G
Oh dear, the confrontation is coming soon, and I am so tense, and have goosebumps. I wish I had a six, but they've all gone. You write this story so well that it fully engages the reader. I feel like they are real people, because your writing is so authentic. Well done!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
That's some secret Huck now has to keep! And, if Dewey ever knew, it would give him even more reason, perhaps, to plot to kill him. An interesting dynamic thrown in here and I wonder if Matthew was the cause of Dewey's father's disappearance. You've given me a lot to mull over, Gretchen, in your fascinating story! Thanks for sharing. Debbie
