I am reading but I just don't have time to comment as thoroughly as I'd like.
But please know that I am really enjoying this and I loved this chapter. I love how you described how uncomfortable Haley felt and I'm glad she didn't act like everything was okay. Honestly, I think in her position I would've been so tempted to slap Nathan in the face for his "you're so much prettier" comment.
What is it with guys and thinking they can act like everything's normal and okay when they are so clearly not?
Really interested in seeing where you go with this and why Nathan is finally acting on his feelings for Haley when he said he realized a month after they parted that he'd made a mistake.
Aw, thanks, Paulina! I'm glad to see you around again; it has been awhile!
Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying this one. I think I set it up in a way that is probably difficult for some to get into, but I think after chapter six things get immensely better, so...well, you'll see. :)
Guys are dumb, and Nathan manages to take that to a whole new level.
man oh man I love this story, Naley has this huge...I don't know, sexual/love/soul mate tension of an elephant in the room situation going on and I love it!
I'm so curious to see where this goes, to find out Nathan's story, what he wants from her, from them and how she responds to all of it.
Thank you! There is without a doubt a whole lot of everything still between Nathan and Haley. Hey, some things? They never change!
I won't give anything away, but I will say that Nathan has one hell of a backstory. Five years is a long time, and stuff...happened. That's all I'm saying. :)
I just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying this, although it makes me feel uneasy at times, lol, but I am a fan of people whose writing can expose only the tip of the iceberg in the beginning and still have the reader hooked. I really look forward to see what is hidden beneath the surface and how things will unfold from there. I don't have a lot of time, I am so late, but I am going to leave you a more proper comment later, tomorrow, next week, some day, hee. But I just wanted to tell you that I like the build up of this story and that I am intrigued! ;)
Thanks, Medine! I don't think you have *too* much to feel uneasy about. At least, not excessively so. I guess that probably doesn't make you feel too much better. Anyway, I am posting ch. 5 tonight, and that should clear a few things up. So...yay?
I'm glad you are enjoying it so far, and I definitely hope you continue to feel the same way!

You're right about Nathan. He plays the role of the victim well even if he is the one who victimized himself! That's an attribute that he clearly acquired from Dan. I don't mean that Nathan will end up like Dan because of this. Nathan has too much humanity and kindness in him. Those traits weren't alway evident because Nathan hid them (out of self-preservation) when he lived at home with his parents. Once he was with Haley, he didn't need to hide that aspect of his personality. At least, that's how I see it.
I'm doing well, thanks for asking. Although I don't watch OTH anymore (didn't like the direction the show took), I still keep up with some of my favorite authors. I love old school and AU NH. Soft spot in my heart. Hope all is well with you!! I always enjoy your stories.
Hi. I just wanted to write and say I really love this story- am totally addicted! Just started reading it the other day and was so drawn in that I was up half the night reading! I can't wait to find out what's up with Nathan and his past and why all of a sudden (or so it seems) he wants Haley back. Also love the way you have put the characters in an au situation and still keep them true to their developed show personalities. Really like that although Haley regrets losing Nathan, she isn't this weak person who has spent her time pining for Nathan. Just a really well written story and I'm enjoying it emensely. Also reading The Limit right now which I believe you also wrote. Love, love, love that story too. Please keep writing! Laura
