This was fantastic, hann!! Like I said before, I loved the way you chose to end this chapter, with him being so uncertain about their relationship. The picture you painted for us throughout the chapter made us see at the end what would've happened if things had been different, as well as what will probably happen to them now. It's like you wrote a much longer story than you actually did, even though you left all the aftermath out. (Make any sense?) This is definitely one of my favorite chapters, so kudos!! :)

Author's Response: I'm sooo glad you liked it. 'Cause I really was hesitant about it. (About 2 seconds from just deleting it when I sent it to you.) And yeah, you make sense. I think. I'm sure the 'aftermath' will be visited again in later chapters. I can't stay away from young Jim. (Okay, that sounds bad...) Thanks for everything!
