Loved this. Everyone was dead on, but I think we learned a lot about Roy from his section. This was such a cute line -  "He's just looking back at her - all sappy and googly eyed". 



Author's Response:

As I always say - Roy's not a bad guy - he's just oblivious.   Thanks kaystar!

"When you love someone so much, some things are better left unsaid." - a beautiful, and very truthful, line.  Loved this.  You said so much with so few words.



Author's Response: Thanks! Things aren't going to be perfect for them, but I think they'll be OK.

Wow, what a sweet story. I just love the last line in each paragraph, my favorite being - "Because he is your boyfriend and you’ve never been happier."



Author's Response: Thank you so much!  Can't wait for the day when they are actually dating!!

Great story! I especially loved this line - "It won’t change the fact that she’s the one who gets to go home with him at the end of the night.at story! "  Yes you do Pam, you lucky girl! 

Author's Response: I'm very glad you liked it.  And I'm sooooo jealous myself.  If I can't be with him though - Pam certainly will. :)

It's good to laugh to help break up the heartbreak I've been feeling most of the day. Thanks, hugs! (And way to work around the rules and still get the same great outcome!)

Author's Response:

Hell.  I'd marry him myself before I have him marry Pam.

That beard is hot.  LOL!

I loved everything about this! This line was was so innocently hot - "Sometimes when she knows the answer, she'll wait until he figures it out, so his wrist will cross over hers to point out each letter and she can feel his warm skin press to hers." And then the hotness continued through that awesome scene in the dressing room and ending with the dress in the bag.   Totally awesome story! Thanks!

Author's Response: So glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reading (and reviewing)!

Very realistic, reminded me of some of the fights my husband and I have had - especially saying mean things that you know aren't really meant but are said in the heat of the fight. It's a shame that Pam misread his support but I'm glad for the happy ending!

I love this 5 things vignettes! I especially loved the last one - not just because of the happy ending but because Thanksgiving makes me feel all warm and happy inside, as does memories of my mother making cinnamon sugar toast when I was little - and also because I think the word gobsmacked is so cute. (is it a real word?) Great story. Anxious to read more from you.

Author's Response: Yeah, I shamelessly stole my mom's cinnamon spread thing to give to Jim's. I'm pretty sure gobsmacked is a real word, although it might just be British slang masquerading as one. Thanks for the review!

Summary:

Well, the DVDs have given us all a wealth of new inspiration....so here's my being undisciplined and giving in.  :o)  Right now, I'm planning to cover Jim's talking head in "The Client," the Sasha story, Jim visiting the BB online from the Pochonos, and I'd also like to revisit "The Secret" in light of some of what JK said on the commentary.  Squee!

Gah. You wrote the most heartbreakingly beautiful scene here. The way you turned Jim's emotions into words that could actually be seen in my mind and felt in my heart was unbelievable.  I am so glad you are continuing the behind the scenes. You are truly an awesome writer.
