Chapter Six: White Noise

Carefully navigating the slippery courtyard steps, Gillian tries not to think about Cal. She especially tries not to think about Wallowski with Cal, or the various ways in which the attractive detective is no doubt thanking him for putting their company at risk… again. Mindful of the heavy plastic bag swinging like a

Foster is a hard one to crack and yet you write her so well. I love reading about how she winds down after work, drinking stolen alcohol. I love the little bit about her new home and her neighbors being just like her except for that family that had to move out. Very realistic and sad at the same time.

This chapter is quiet and thoughtful, my favorite kind. I love quiet little moments like these. I love seeing how she processes everything and how she analyzes Cal into his separate moods. And then of course you go and leave it on those evil cliffhangers. Evil, evil, evil. As you probably already know, I can't wait for more. ♥ Also, I didn't see any typos.

Thank you for commenting on this chapter! I was a little nervous about it because my version of Gillian (at least for the time being) is a bit edgier than she is on TV, and I wasn't really sure how that would come off. But I get the feeling she's often more sad and angry than she ever lets on to others.

If I don't resort to cliffhangers, how am I supposed to keep luring your back for more? ;)

Also, I didn't see any typos.
OMG! I feel like celebrating! lol

Lovely chapter. I like how you write Gillian. It's very in character, yet we get to see her kinkier badass side. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Also, LEONARD COHEN!!! :)

Thank you very much! I still have my issues with this chapter, but it is what it is. Entire scenes that take place in someone's head are difficult to write, at least for me. If you like kinky, badass Gillian though, you should like what's coming up soon.

So, do you see why I was amused? I found myself in a discussion with a psychologist about liquor, Leonard Cohen, and my chapter... which was about liquor, Leonard Cohen, and a psychologist. I'd make a 'blue pill' joke here, but I'm not sure you'd get my Matrix reference. :)

Oooh, I love kinky, badass Gillian. So I can't wait. I can't write any sort of fanfiction, so I'm impressed with your talent!

LOL, that's pretty amusing. The connection I made was that Gillian was listening to L.C. while undressing after coming home from work, and I listen to L.C. every morning while getting dressed for work.

I'm totally familiar with "red pill vs. blue pill" from the Matrix.

BTW, are you ever on Google chat or Twitter, it would be fun to chat with you!

Don't count yourself out so quickly! If you can write research papers, I'm sure you can write fanfiction. It just takes a little practice. BTW, if it sounds like I'm not-so-subtly trying to convince you, it's because I'm not-so-subtly trying to convince you. lol I'd love to read something of yours.

I mostly lurk at Twitter and rarely sign in to Google chat. However.... :)
