Interestingly, of all Jared's friends, Chad is the only one who's never really had a problem with Jensen. I'm thinking that Sandy is going to start warming to him now, though, which will give him someone else in his corner as he (and Jared) work on converting the rest of them.

I can understand why Jensen's parents are disappointed that they can't interact with Jensen like a Normal child, but I think they could stand to take some lessons from Jared about how to accept someone for who they are, not who they can't be.

Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed this story and thought it was a good addition to the verse.
