So let me start by thank you so much for writing and sharing with us. You are very talented in capturing moods and feelings very well. The one thing I noticed that you do are more explicit with Oliver thoughts and emotions, that we always know what he is thinking and feeling. But with Chloe you don't. Is this deliberate?

Hey! Thanks for the thoughtful question. To answer it, yes, right now it is mostly intentional. I spentthe first several chapters very much inside of Chloe's head, with a few exceptions, so right now in the story, I really wanted to show where Oliver's at. Obviously, he's falling for her, just hasn't consciously admitted it yet. In a couple of chapters, that's going to be important to know, because it's going to get a lot mor Chloe-centric. :)

i just re-read it again and i am glad i saw your comment reply. i like seeing things from oliver's perspective. i'm curious if he will end up spilling their secret to someone!!! do you have the rest of the story outlined already!?

[the_bluesuede]

As a matter of fact, for once, I do have an outline for the rest of the story. It will probably get tweaked as I go, but I have to admit, I'm surprised I have a plan at all. Normally, I'm a "wing it as I go" type of writer. Anything else, though, well, I'm not telling! Spoilers!

Sorry I'm so late with the feedback. I was visiting a friend over the weekend and was away from my laptop. That didn't stop me from covertly reading this on my phone, however, because when it comes to updates of this story I have absolutely no patience whatsoever. Oh my God, I was biting the inside of my mouth trying not to laugh my ass off at the text messaging scene on the plane. So frickin hilarious and awesome. :D

Loving the parallels between Oliver/Chloe and his parents, who clearly have a solid and loving marriage. Both couples balance each other perfectly, and I love that the very levity Oliver is using to disarm Chloe will be what ultimately bonds them. I am greatly enjoying watching the lines between fiction and reality of their 'engagement' become increasingly blurred.

Another chapter in which I want to quote everything - too many great lines: "Listen, if there's one thing Chloe and I are great with, it's secrets,"

Diana accepted the excuse easily enough, but she gave Chloe an odd, penetrating look just the same. Ooh,

So happy for this chapter, the wait between updates always seems like a long time, but it's always worth the wait! Especially loved the dirty texting on the plane :D

Oh my goodness. I'm reading into all the foreshadowing. At least I'm hoping Bruce teasing Ollie about Chloe in panic mode before walking down the aisle does happen. Of course I cannot speculate enough about Laura and Mr. Guster bringing up Chlollie children!!! Oh I am hoping you give us both these scenarios. lol
Ollie is so wonderful being there for Chloe when she's thinking she's losing her girlfriends b/c they got married. Love he reassures her that she won't be alone.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy writing.
