The plot thickens - and knowing what's to come makes the tension all the worse.

Can't wait for Friday!

[reve_silencieux]

Well you can't say I didn't warn you!

(and you DO realize I post twice a week, right? You don't have to wait TOO long!)

Thanks!!

The plot thickens, like the interplay of Sara and Neal personal and professional relationship

[reve_silencieux]

Oh, thank you! I imagine it would be a little weird at first for them, but Neal respects her and her position.

[nieseryjna]

I love this! And was Neal's mystery source Mozzie perhaps? :D

[reve_silencieux]

Thanks! That would be an interesting twist! But no... no Mozzie.

[sapphire2309]

Woohoo, chapter two!!

Damn, we struggled with that beginning, didn't we?

Now I want to know how they'd be received at the Louvre.

That Neal/Sara moment in the office is heartbreaking. Glad Neal was able to diffuse the tension!

And oooh, the end. Love it!

[reve_silencieux]

No! No Lourve! I cannot put more on my plate!! *glares*

And yes, we now have a name! I know you love Gregory. :D

[sapphire2309]

Yes! Yes Louvre! *g*

This is in exchange for you having basically facilitated the plotbunny of doom.

(I love how when we want to piss each other off, we poke the bunnies. It's deeply amusing.)

I do! :DD

[reve_silencieux]

No poking the bunnies! They are SLEEPING! I already poked two different bunnies in the past two days. You're not allowed to poke any more.

And just how did I facilitate the plotbunny of doom? It's from your head! I just listened. :D (and outlined)

“I never leave a museum empty-handed.” She glared at him and he grinned. “I bought a book, Sara. From the gift shop.

Hahaha ROFL Priceless!

I have been to London and King's Cross in March and there was indeed construction going on! Now that is taking research to a whole new level. Makes it all very believable.

I love all the small details. The Empire State building, awww!

[reve_silencieux]

Hee! Yes, I loved writing that scene.

Yep, Google Maps and Streetview were my friend. Which, I guess technically it could have been out of date, but I didn't consider that. Heh.

Oh, and the Empire State building toy is real. :D

Thanks again!

[dieastra]

Yes, I once saw all the architecture LEGOS in a shop. They are awesome but I only live in a small flat and they are huge! (and also expensive)
That's why I have settled on Nanoblocks now, do you know them? From Japan. Much smaller scale but they also have famous buildings. I have the Big Ben!

I just realized that there was a sentence in chapter 4 which I also wanted to quote but then forgot: Most people didn't come home to a forgery baking in their oven, she thought wryly and shook her head, softly laughing.

Love it! These two are really so perfect for each other.

[reve_silencieux]

Oh, that's cute! I too, would love to collect them. But there comes a point where you just do have room to put anything much less a Lego building!

The one he gave her was actually only 7 inches tall.

:D Oh, thank you! That line actually went through several revisions. You really are making my day. It's the tiny little things that we spend so much time perfecting but don't get mentioned much.
