i have tears in my eyes.  literally.  i am literally crying.  yeah, i'm also pms-ing, but i really do have misty eyes. 

stupid boy.  actually, stupid nick.  i bet my rob obsession that nick stole back the phone, gave rob a new one, and sent that nasty rocket to jen.

and the green-eyed lilt?  either lizzy or clare.

oh, lostluggage, you totally own me with this story!

Author's Response:

this is the hardest chapter i had to write. And I cringe and worry when a new reader gets to this sequence, especially late at night. 

I cry every time I read it, it touches close to everyone's hearts have been ripped out. 

ah, your theory is a good one... read on.

I try not to do angst for too long. a chapter or two. isn't it nice there is a next button below, and you don't have to wait? sigh.

So happy to hear you are enjoying it, my dear! It means the world to me!

MWAH!

steph

can i just say ARGH?! not in a pirate way, but in a frustrated, really -wanted-me(um, her)-to dominate-him way. sigh. guess i've been reading too much of THAT kind of fanfic lately!
don't love the angst, but its inevitable.

Author's Response:

LOL! not in a pirate way! oh the domination... sigh... yeah... buthtey really needed some tender... not to worry... remember...there's like 87 more chapters still.LOL!

 

yep the angst is inevitable... hang on ...it could get bumpy...

thanks my dear!

mwah!

steph

if only all fangirls were as classy as that... but i suppose i understand.  i was infatuated with duran duran when i was 12/13.  yep, just dated myself.  i THINK rob might have been born then, but maybe not.  oh well.  i just have to embrace my inner cougar!  rawr!

Author's Response:

hehehe. I was well into my teens with Duran Duran... so there ya go... I like to think if myself as a puma... there's a clothing line and everything!

ah fangirls... some are just as genuine and caring as these three...well the jury is still out on Jess. if the others hadn't been there I bet she would have squealed... 

thanks my dear. real life is looming for these two...

MWAH!

steph

mmm, i was wondering when the piano would be featured!

real life is a bitch.  i'm intrigued that you have written so many chapters and i'm still in the beginning.  *rubs hands in glee* 

Author's Response:

Oh the Piano... yep... a few were disappointed it didn't see action earlier... but Rob was just being polite... didn't want to mar the finish... ehhehe

oh yes.. you are just at the beginning.. that is so exciting! WEEEE! 

thanks my dear! I am enjoying this trip down memory lane! so much fun! 

MWAH!

steph

so if there  were a therapy class for this addiction I am sure we would sit side by side  i have been enjoying this in more ways than I can say all thoes chapters and  me not reviewing  thats not really me but i was reading on my i phone while travling  I was relishing in the constant next that waited for me after each chapter now I wait  I read your rpov and found it excelent I love his mind how he thinks  I like her she is perfect I love that you gave him some peace and happiness  for a change   cant wait to see what you have in store   also kind of excited to see if i was close on the symptoms she was having to me watching him become a father has to be one of my biggest fantasy thrills I often seeknout stories with that theme   but i like this and will go along withwhat ever life you deem suitable   just saying    wonderful job love you plot    love jen and this rob is so real    your devoted fan   

Author's Response:

thanks so much my dear !

i know  that next button is a temptress... LOL! I am so happy to hear how much you are loving this story. Giving Rob a little peace. however i can. wish i could in real life, and i don't mean that in a pervy sort of way. If i could give him the house on Orcas for a week or two of solitude, I would.  

ah the symptoms. we will just have to see.

thank you so much my dearest. The love I have for my readers is infinite. I can't even begin to measure it! you fine ladies make it all worth it!

thanks!

more soon!

MWAH!

steph

Love it

Author's Response:

thanks my dear! 

MWAH!

the way you describe their reunion is so amazingly eloquent....., so beautiful, I wish that scene alone could be made into a movie.... it is so touching and moving.  You are very talented...... thank you so much for taking the time to write this story, it is truly lovely.

Author's Response:

thanks so much edwyna

I love reunions of lost loves... I guess i am a sap that way. but I am so glad you enjoyed their reunion.

you are too kind, thank you. i love bringing this story to you all. your kind words motivate me to keep going. 

thank you so much!

MWAH!

steph

So... spent my whole day reading this. Got totally sucked in, completely neglected my own writing... thanks a lot!

Seriously, though - I'm not usually big on fics about the actors, but this is pretty dang good!  Can't wait to see how it goes!

Author's Response:

thank you so much! I am sorry about keeping you from writing, i know how that is. there are a few fics that i have to rush off to read, no matter what i am doing...

So glad to have you sucked in! I know, actor fics are a hard sell, I appreciate you taking a chance to read it! 

I update about once a week, if not more, so i try to keep my dear readers from waiting too long. 

thank you so much for the read and review! and WELCOME to the NTE madness!

MWAH!

steph

*Sigh* Ah, yes, Rome Rob! Delish!

Love it so far! I agree, there are some things that have to be left out for the anticipation part of it. I didn't think that was all Nick had said. geez, I really hope he isn't such a douche in RL! LOL I know you write him that way, but sometimes I wonder what he's really like.

I agree that Jen should've been upset with all the surprises. I know I wouldn't like it! She did good. Held her ground.

great chappie steph!

Hugs,

Louise

Author's Response:

LOL! I am sure RL Nick is great... and i ahve taken many liberties with the poor man... you'll see how i explain myself later... I think Rl may have to be hard sometimes, but never as much of a douche as NTE nick... LOL!

Jen is learning to hold her own with the world of Rob. maybe she WILL be ready for a coming out...hmmm.

oh yes...Rome Rob NEVER disappoints. ever...

thanks my dear! 

MWAH!

steph

How could he think she's going to leave him when she goes back to the states!?  Oh my gosh, your Rob is still so unsure of himself, isn't he?

And Steph, I get a sense of foreboding in the last line.... "Nothing would take this away.  I'd make sure of it"..... hmm.....

Glad to hear she's thinking about heading back to the States to clear everything up, I've been thinking of that and I know you've got some other readers who have been as well.... I forget that it's really only been a few weeks for them, as it's been so long for us :)

Love the chapter Steph!  Tri-O's rule!

- Ter

Author's Response:

sigh... so insecure. sweet sweet boy. 

foreboding... hmmm. maybe... or maybe she is finally knuckling down and ready to face it all. To protect her family. 

Yes, going back has been wearing on her, and now that she sits at home with a lot of time to think, she is getting that need to finalize her previous life. Time to move on. It has been only a short time... phew... and yet it feels like years... hahaha

thanks my dear! more fun times coming! 

Tri O's rule! long live the toque!

MWAH!

steph

What on earth did Nick say?  He made a rather dapper punching bag didn't he?  Hahaha!

There's something about desperate Rob that's rather hot.  Having him react to Jen missing from the afternoon was oddly hot. 

Of course, Jen meets that Bel Ami trio.  Hmmm... They're all older women.  I can already see how this luncheon is going to go.

 

Author's Response:

hehe. something bad to be sure that Rob just can't tell her. If you are really interested... i left a little spoliery tease on the OTT forum a couple of days ago.

Oh i love desperate Rob. just.... uncontrolled... sigh. 

Bel Ami ladies... what will they think of Jen? What will Jen think of them? how will Rob handle 4 very strong women all together... 

hehehehe

thanks my dear! 

so glad to have you back. and my goodness you got through so much today! I didn't expect that! thank you! 

mWAH!

steph

so beautiful... great writing.

Author's Response:

thanks so much!

MWAH!
