Why doesn’t Alan and Charles talk about Don’s neglected childhood? Even Alan brought it up mentally but was a coward to even further think about it.

Man is a mistery with hide emotion skill, love your story.

Reading this with a big smile on my face. A great insight into Alan and how he think of his son's career choice and life. So true to the characters. Oh, how I love those father-son moments :)

very sweet! :) could you write some more? this would be a nice father/son story.

This is so precious. I love Alan and you have portrayed him perfectly. Such a sweet story!

great fic

I'm not sure what you were worried about, this was such a nice read! Thanks for posting it so we could enjoy it.

Good fic... Thanks

Can it be that you are a bit Don like? always questioning yourself? That was really good. I'm happy you posted it. Thanks!

I loved this. Not only did it have amazing insight into Alan's thoughts and concerns, I thought the flow and the pace was great. You used the rush hour traffic as an effective buffer, both to separate Alan's thoughts and as a tool to increase the reader's anxiety level. (I felt like blowing MY horn. HURRY UP, MY SON NEEDS ME!)

This was a great use of the type of soliloquy I love and I enjoyed every word. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Very nice.

Loved this to pieces. You've got fantastic insight into Alan. Well done.

(I'm jealous - this is the sort of story I wish I could write...)

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be happy with this, I enjoyed it! Especially Alan reassuring himself that he wasn't worried! I liked Alan's feelings being all over the map, it rang so true. Thanks for posting.
