Love it! So perfect, that's exactly how each of them would react.

Great way to get your feet wet! More please... ? :)

Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback! (I was so nervous to post my first fic!!) :)

Oh, Beckett. ♥

I want to buy this sentence a drink and take it home with me: She pushed herself back inside, safe denial. That's heartbreakingly gorgeous.

I also love the "We're boycotting him on Halo."

This is a great piece; I really hope to see more of your writing soon!

Thank you so much for your kind words!! They mean so much to me!!

Oh, and the "safe denial" sentence called- it said that you two can go out anytime ;)

Wow you got their voices down to perfection.

Thank you so much for such high praise!! I really played around with the voices so that each of Beckett's friends would stay in-charcter.

You've nailed each character, especially Lainie, that woman has eyes in the back of her head.

Thank you so much for your kind words!! And yes, Lanie always knows whats going on: I contstantly go back to her line "Cause I see it! You may not, but I do." ;)

Perfect!

You got the drabble format down pat on your first try.

Good characterizations, a lovely cadence to the entire story, and the last line is perfect.

Well, well done.

Thank you so much for your review!! It means a lot to me coming from someone so talented at drabbles! :) And I'm really glad the last line worked- I was hoping that it wouldn't be too confusing! ;)

Hey, you deserved it!
