Hello again.
Managed to find chapter 49 by fluke. It is as great as all the rest of your book.
It's difficult for me as a definite non-writer (no imagination) to understand how someone such as yourself who/whom has such a huge amount of talent who/whom has written such a beautiful, poingnant story is now stuck. I wish with all my heart I could help. And I wish with all my heart someone else will be able to help you.
Don't think these will help but here goes:
- show Louis' gestures of his love for Harry: a single flower of any kind on his bedside table every day; beautiful set of sheets for his bed; special tea blend; picnic; day out at the seaside with a picnic.
- L check with H to have joint therapy sessions or just L sessions alone to see how he can help H
- L could start digging into his old football mates when all the bad stuff started with H;
- L could start pressuring El's brother even more.
- Something has to break for H to start healing.
- Maybe L asking H help with L's studies. That might help bolster H's fragile ego.
- confront H's Father and find out what the heck he thought he was doing. Have him charged with abuse.
- make Gemma hear the truth about what has been going on and how she as only exascerbated the entire problem.
I don't ever want you to think I was making fun of you and your talent. I have nothing but respect for everything you do and have done.
Take care and stay safe.
