Eeeeexcellent. (Where's my evil smiley face?) Hellion - That's actually great for Margaux and Charlie, but not so much for Fredrick. (Again, I need an evil smiley. I love/hate Fredrick.) Q - Seeing as I am obviously a sneaky female, I'll take that as a compliment. (Seriously, where IS that evil smiley?!) Terri – You like Fredrick, eh? Eeeeexcellent. (Where’s my evil smiley face?)

He's got a broody, LOST SOUL quality, a light frosting layer over the Devil's Food Cake of his CHARMER core. *LOL* Can anyone tell what I'd like to have right now? Cake. Get me some CAKE. Livie is more "cynical spunky kid" or maybe, "repressed spunky kid"--but again, I'd go with the first one. She doesn't take much to unrepress once you get her on board. CAKE. Where is the freaking cake around here? Ben is a “secretive charmer”…or a “charasmatic smooth operator”…to me, he’s more the first.

This is only to keep you in touch with how Bryan should be behaving in your story. (I grant you, you don't have this problem, I think because you say that your characters tell you how the story goes rather than "improv-ing" which is how I write.) Sexy should be a given regardless.
