Quick notes from chapters 7,8 9
Luke is being silly for thinking he could actually have forever with Noah.OMG what a touching letters I am so please that Luke wrote and posted it.I am hoping to God that it reaches Reid in time.ah it's too cute that Luke's riding his bike.Luke's panicking because deep down he knows he wants Reid to stop the wedding.ha Bob should be in the matchmaking business because he's so damn good at it.hot damn Reid sure know how to make an entrance I love how it was only them in their only little world.well I must be losing my touch cause I am almost feeling bad for Noah.he really wanted it to work but he lost his shot...oh well..I love that Reid and Luke both had a life changing experience just because of each other.Katie's reaction to them was piceless.whoa what a hot makeout session and lily walking in on them was beyond funny..Reid handled it well tho.so glad that lily is cool in this fic.everything should fall into place for em now.

Can I say how much I appreciate you leaving comments along the way? It's just wonderful. I've been working on this off and on since the summer, so it's lovely to get some detailed feedback now that it's finished!

I'm glad you're almost feeling bad for Noah. Hopefully it's not that you're losing your touch, but that I've done a good job trying to portray him as a human being...not the right human being to marry Luke, but a human being nonetheless.

I've always enjoyed Bob/Reid interactions. Glad you are too. And Lily, well she often gets short-changed in fics. She doesn't have a huge part in this one, but I like her - when she was played by both actresses. They each played her so differently, but they both played her convincingly.

Thanks again. :D

And, ugh, you make me feel sorry for Noah - *shakes fist at you* - I'm not sure I'll ever forgive you for that, lol.

Yay! I love it when I do my job well, ;)

I adore, just simply adore, the yin and yang of their relationship.

Nicely put.

***BTW, I have to apologize for taking so long to respond to your comments. I have two reasons. First of all, after all the lllooonnnggg time spent writing, and then posting, I needed a major break from all things LuRe, including responding to all the lovely readers. And second, your comments are among the few that really take my story apart in wonderful, insightful ways, and I can't just type up a quick response to them. They need to stew and simmer a bit first.

Love all this relationship stuff we get to read about. Just lovely.

[pabwecg]

Oh good! Thank you.

i'm liking lily here. she seems to have some smarts to her. she doesn't seem so addled, as she has been known to be. she seems to be taking all these changes in stride. katie, YAAY!!! doogie, whatever! i like that luke and reid are taking it slow. at least they are after being caught by lily. that was funny. and faith? faith rocks! it's good that reid is getting to know the members of luke's family. and, it's good that he's trying to be nice to them. that must be very hard for our dear reid.

loving the fact that reid seems to want to support luke with his ideas for haiti. i love that he sees luke for who he really is. strong, independent, caring. AND, i really love that he wants to spend time with luke wherever and however he can. that says a lot right there. a picnic huh? look out oakdale, you have no idea what is coming your way. the best part? reid telling luke that the bracelet was never far away from him. and, asking luke to put it on him. sigh....

[pabwecg]

Thank you!

Yeah, you know...sometimes Lily could be very smart and strong, and I tend to lean in that direction.

And yes, Reid's entire world has been turned upside down by his love for Luke. He's willing to do all sorts of things he never wold have been earlier. I guess in the same way, his love for Luke has enabled Luke to do things (especially for himself) that he's never been able to do before. A good combination, me thinks!

love this so much. Those two are so meant for each other. Their devotion and deep love for each other is breathtaking. I love when Reid is so sweet and romantic with Luke. Its nice to see them enjoying each other's company, getting to know each other, cooking for each other, its just pure bliss for them. what I would have given to have seen them do this kind of a story on the show. Wonderful job. Off to reid some more!

[pabwecg]

Oh, thank you so much. What I wouldn't give to have seen them have a relationship of any length before that-which-shall-not-be-named-or-even-acknowledged happened.
