I already wrote those stories, now up to 109, so I know the answers.
Secrets? What secrets? He has a really big one, in his opinion, which
he never thinks about, so a mind reader wouldn't find out about it.
Secrets are only embarrassing when they are made public. The only
person she can communicate Stevie's secrets to, is Stevie, and she had
to help him change, to do it. Anyway, he seems to be much more
interested in what he can learn from her, than to worry about that.
Then again, I could be misleading you. LOL
He can already steal the thought of others, in a way. His special
hearing lets him listen to people muttering under their breath, and to
their private conversations they don't know he can hear. Don't miss the
significance of him hearing her thoughts only when she wants him to,
and only when they are holding hands. She doesn't need to hold hands to
read minds, and Stephen can't do it any other way, and only with her.
That could change. I could say it does, and in an unexpected way, but
my readers should be expecting that by now. LOL

Life is full of them.
Privacy will be addressed. Maybe often.

Thank you.

How the stories took this turn, is because of the first one I posted,
"Goose Poker". If I had known I was going to make a series of it, I
would never have put in it unexplainable things, such as his jump away
problem, and his never losing at cards. I have been trying to find a
way to explain those things, with "science". A friend suggested I check
out "Third Eye" and "Chakras". I keep a google search link on my
desktop for those topics, to refer to, when I'm writing the stories.
This gave me a way have Stevie explore different religions,
philosophies, and mystical things. This lets him have a lot more
adventures, and more interesting ones. If I'm up to the task.
I want more of your Tower stories.
