Very good! I think you characterize them just right.
I like the converation at the end between Adam and Jamie. There was one sentense I like most: Adam saying about Marie "My Ma. Joe's by birth." I think that shows he don't think family depends on blood bands, and that he really doesn't mean what he've said to Jamie.
It's a very good story, I would like to read more!

Just wonderful. Thank you for this.
