Nicely done. Ch 01 was among my top 15 stories on Lit. OC Ch 1 among my top 6. So keep with the light interesting characters romantic theme as the mood strikes you and I'll look for your next.
Thanks.
Thanks....took me a min. to put it all together, but it was worth it.
A little lighter than your other stories, but still a pleasure to find. I enjoyed it immensely.
A very nice story! Please continue your stories with regards to this Oregonian mini-universe you created. They’re great characters and great stories. I too agree though that the suddenly changing POV was a bit confusing though…
So Jim and Wendy didn’t have children of their own? Nice to see that Amanda and Mike did though…
Damn, I could of swore you were my twin, but you turned out to be a duck and I am a Beaver. Oh well, not everybody can be perfect ;-p
Thanks again, bud, great story and I thought your "lite sex" and lotsa love was perfect, Lynn
OSU '75! But Oregonians are all terrific people. Great story Thucydides. Loved the ebb and flow, and brought me back to the times that I spent in the valley and the coast. I like the way that you've developed the different characters in your stories. The story lines also let us know what's in your background. And I do recall meeting a logging truck doing 40 mph on a dirt back road going around a bend; scared the sxxt out of me.
I love these types of stories that tell us it takes more than bio to be a parent but love and compassion for that child.
rural without being folksy. loving without being over the top. and all points of view were developed and respected. It was a brilliant way to follow a 12 year old "bundle of bone" as she becomes a mature thoughtful woman.
thanks
This story deserves another chapter or two about Matt and Lindsay's life together.
I agree with others: a followup featuring Matt and Lindsey would be wonderful~
A great juvenile romance and a magnificent continuation of the history of his parents. It took me a long time to realize that this story was related to The Socratic Method, when I read that story, I did not realize that Amanda was Jim's sister. A good link of the three stories.
Thank you for sharing your work with us all.
5 * for you.
I apologize for my English (yet) is not my native language.
But I have already done so, and I know they kick out multiples. I came on to Lit E tonight with this story in mind. I've read it multiple times before, but it doesn't get old. Thanks much. Would love to see more by you, or if you are published, I'd love to know what so I can buy it.
When I was in college, I decided to get an IUD so that I could chase my boyfriend until he caught me without worrying about getting pregnant.
Then again, this was before today's concerns about STD's.
I wondered, "how can this get better than chapter 01?". I started and soon it was "It's happening.". I finished chapter 02 and It had happened. It was better. But only because it had that marvelous chapter 01 to build on.
First time sex scenes on Literotica are outrageous. Not this one. No anal. Did not go 4 hours. Girl did not have 6 orgasms and the guy 4. He did not even penetrate her pussy or give her oral. But she gave him a good one and got one in the process. And they loved each other and loved doing it. And it left a lot for their next "first time." And it was a LOT more realistic. And I loved it.
A nice touch was getting the differing viewpoints offer by the switching POVs.
One regret. Too few have found one of Literotica's greatest stories.

Damn man, you write amazing.The story was perfect, just the right amount of everything. Totally credible. Looking forward to more of your stories. I hope you write more.
have read most all several times & keep coming back . 2 or 3 didn't care for but that's just me.
And I enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the way they dealt with “Mr. Super-Jock”. But the whole story, including the characters, seemed so disconnected from the original chapter that except for the names and a few references to the other chapter’s story, it was difficult to think of this as a continuation of the first chapter. And yeah, I know that’s one hell of a long run-on sentence, but I think it made my point. So, in other words, I guess, this one just didn’t seem like a “chapter two”, it seemed like a whole nother story.
good, I kept reading.
I was confused by this whole Wendy & Jim parents/uncle/mom whatever -thing.
because u didn't start the second part like everyone else does. (I kind of liked it but I can also see it failing.)
Events after u closed chapter 1, like the passing of the biological mom of Lindsay and "fully" becoming parents of her and the time gap.
Curious though why you didn't give them Kids on their own, they were in their mid to late '20s (her 26 him 28?).
Anyway I liked both parts very much!
Great story!
I'm a wildlife habitat biologist in Canada and bio nerds don't usually get much press.
Thanks for making Jim such a great character. Same for kids who once set chokers, but managed to do well in university (that's me too)!
Another lovely and sweet story. Seems like Wendy and Jim didn't have kids of their own.
nice story but I think the first story was better, maybe just because it was new, different. Oregon Coast stories are good too
Really odd pacing in this story, the original (pt1) moved along well, this one seemed to skip and we only got the Cliffs Notes version. This felt like the authors heart wasn’t really in it tbh. 4⭐️
Well . . . . .
I could blabber on for a senseless amount of time, bottom-line, I thoroughly enjoyed this creation of yours. Great Job ! THANKS ! ! !
This story is one that I can always count on to lift my spirits if I'm feeling a little down. I don't know how many times I've read it, but it's never lost its glow. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Something's in my eye. Me being adopted is completely unrelated. 5 stars only because that's the max rating.
