Karen's reaction was so heartbreakingly perfect.
“You didn’t want time to think. You wanted to talk to her. You wanted to see if there was a chance. You could have come to the Poconos. Forgotten about her kissing you. The Poconos would have been a perfect time to get over her, once and for all. Remember why we are great together. You didn’t fake sickness to think, you were faking so you could talk to her.”
I hope you and this chapter have made up by now, because it was the best Karen and Jim break-up I've read.
Author's Response: That is so awesome to here, because I really didn't know how in character it was, and if it seemed realistic as a break up, so the fact that you think it was perfect just makes me SO happy. How many times have I said SO in my replies. Oh well.

It came out beautifully. Don't hate the chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for thekind words. Now I am hating chapter 7 (it just doesn't want to come out), so the hate was only temporary.

I can definitely see Karen trying one last time to keep Jim. She would do it because it's the grown-up thing to do. I imagine she'll end up crazy like Jan if she continues along such a buttoned-up path.
Author's Response:
Eek! I like Karen too much to have her turn out like scary Jan. Whatever happens to Karen... please don't let her get scary crazy! That would be the worst thing ever!
Thanks!

I can't wait to see what you have cooked up next. This was very touching. :o)
Author's Response: Thanks. I know what I am planning to have happen next... now I just have to write it. Thanks for the reviews!

Hey, so right back at you about "Where have you been?" I love this one, even though I know I've been sucking at reviewing lately. All I can say to that is work sucks. But aaannnyyyway, I am so game for the device that allow us to plug directly into the paper. sounds like we both need it.
I know what you mean about a chapter kicking your butt, but this is terrific. I think that Karen is really in character with what we've seen of her, she seems to shut down in these moments and run. And I love the way she calls Jim out about the kiss.
And the line where she says "you aren't THAT good a kisser," that totally rocks my socks. I volunteer to find out how good a kisser he is...who's with me.
Yea! You're back!
Author's Response:
Yes, you have been sucky at reviewing :). Don't worry, I don't mind. Makes this review all the more special.
I am so glad that Karen seemed realistic. I had no idea how she would really act in that situation, heck, I had no idea how I would act. So I just kind of wrote and then yelled at the computer, and wrote more.
Oh, yes, you can get in line behind me though. I think there is a LONG line of people volunteering to test his kissing skills. It would be like the worlds best kissing booth!
