Watch out Rayne, here comes Adam!  Lil' C is one smart boy, I hope I see more of him.

Ah, Adam's a 'big brother'? I love it. Love the rapport between he and Carlton. Great imagery with this scene and great dialogue between them: the flow is very natural here. And of course the prose with Adam's thoughts, his frustrations, very good as well. Great insight into him as well. He's unhappy about Rayne leaving but he does the 'guy thing' and doesn't call her directly. LOL. I wonder what will happen that will make her stay? You've got me guessing here. Another great update. I love it :)
