Still loving this.

[buffyx]

Thank you! I'm glad! :)

Yay! Thanks for updating this weekend! It was a lovely little present to come home to. :)

Favorite bits:

Possessed by a sudden bravado, she covers his hand on the stick shift with her own and leaves it there. He turns his head, the ghost of a smile touching his lips, like something secret, just between the two of them.

and

Kristen can’t help but notice that Jason’s hand is still on her back as they walk, and she wants to fold this moment up, tuck it in her pocket so she can keep it for later. Just this one sliver of memory.

So very lovely.

Lastly, the English major in me has the tiniest correction: the plural of "passerby" is actually "passersby." It's ony of those weird grammar things! Oh, and I think this is a typo: Before Kristen can even be process what he’s just informed her of...

Anyway, not trying to be annoying, just trying to help! - esp since you're one woman down!

And YAY for totally hot random makeouts in alleys! Also: I loved the mention of horny teenagers making out in bathrooms, ahahha. Hott.

Hey, seriously, thanks for pointing those out-- I don't mind at all. :)

Glad that you're enjoying this! Thank you for the feedback!

Oh, the love I have for this story very nearly resists contextual rendering it is so vast.

Some things that I particularly loved in no particular order:

As much as Jason claims to not be method, there are just some things you can’t fake. You can take the actor off the set, but

[buffyx]

Because the second "w" pushes it into new levels of greatness.

I really do agree!

I'm so glad you're enjoying this-- it's a blast to write. Thank you for the feedback!

Originally this chapter was supposed to end at another point, but it was already at nine pages and I wanted to get it up by the weekend, so I shortened it a bit. It's really awesome that it's actually working in terms of suspense, since I've never written anything like this before.

And yes: Poor, poor Katie. Tear!

Thank you so much for your comments!

YES! STEVE BUSCEMI LIVES!

Ahem.

Loved the hot making out, loved their talk about Lauren in the car, loved Katie's reaction (writing her as slightly crazy works really well).

The last thing that needs to happen is for this scientist guy-Craww-to get so drunk that he starts a bar fight based on vague racist accusations or makes belittling wisecracks about the waitress’s bust size or sexual promiscuity;

Hee. You guys work fast.

[buffyx]

Hee! Steve Buscemi = BEST.

Thanks for the feedback!
