:O I'm 3 updates behind?! And one of them is porn?! I still haven't had a chance to read them, but hopefully I can by tonight.

Oh yay--you're back! I was missing your feedback something fierce! :) Those earlier parts are quite short--make sure you get to the porn!

Hee hee. I have been right here, awaiting your awesome comment. Thank you for it! ♥

[squeakyboots]

Hahah! Is that a bad thing?

Finally caught up, and I’m taking over the comment space again ;)

Part 8
moving to catch her hand and waiting until she paused to look up at him before he continued. When their eyes met, he squeezed her palm softly. “I’m sorry.”

I completely felt his sincerity in that moment. Aww Jack. Truly redeemed himself!
Then Juliet going straight to work is so in character of her. I really liked that.

And, I think the way you worked in Tunisia is brilliant!

Part 9
“There’s something else you haven’t told us?” Juliet asked incredulously, taking the words out of Jack’s mouth before he was able to open it.

That right there is what I love about Jack/Juliet. They’re both on the same wavelength and it just reminds me that they are a great team when they are working together.

You are absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for that great comment! ♥♥

I'm especially glad you liked the Christian part, and so glad that you "got" the "I'm not nervous" line (I didn't know if it was totally clear the way I wrote it). I actually wrote that scene a long time before and was having trouble finding a non-awkward place for it in the fic.

At the same time, I really wanted to use it because I love the idea of Juliet interacting with Christian, especially in Jack's mind, presenting a kind of alternative or challenge to Christian's psychological "conditioning" of Jack. And that "count to five" scene always gave me weird mixed feelings of love and hate. I always wanted somebody to "zing" Christian with a response like "I'm not nervous." Christian is such an arrogant b----d sometimes. :)

Anyway, thank you bunches!
