Mmmm, take that Dick Daddy! Boat is on it's way to AWESOMENESS. Aha, I can't wait until the next chapter's up. something good's gotta be on its way (: This story is pretty close to my favorite at the moment. :D
'the liquid gold sunshine melting through the window panes' I love that image, it's stunning. This one of Jakob 'the smallest figure running from the waves like they were lava, his joyous peal of laughter riding the air' is just as fantastic. I'm not at all surprised that Jakob is the first to notice the boat. I love that Oliver called him 'little master'. Can't wait for the next chapter! <3
I really like the writing style you've chosen, it works really well for the story so far. I love the way he plays with Jakob and 'corrupts' him. Can't wait to see what happens when he takes the sailboat out. Hope to find out soon! <3
