So glad you updated, and with a stellar chapter no less. Audre's convo with her mom was funny and touching at the same time, I think I've had an almost indentical one with my own mother. I've also had that getting dressed freak out moment, when you suddenly realize all your clothes look the same. That's why I'm digging this so much I think, I can so identify with Audre and her ongoing evaluation of her life.

Oh, and yes, Christian is a bit cocky, but that doesn't taint the sexy. Not one bit. :)

Great chapter, looking forward to more of the date!

Because I don't need to try something to know whether or not I'll like it.  I know myself well enough to deduce the probability of whether or not it would be something that I'd enjoy and I can assure you that snowboarding is one of those things that I probably will not enjoy."

Preach it sister. Never have, never will go snowboarding, I choose life. Plus, I'm a bit of a wuss.

and Christian were supposed to split a Tres Leches cake but she was practically inhaling the whole thing by herself, the decadent cake melting in her mouth

Is that not the best cake you've ever tasted? Whoever the hell thought of soaking cake in milk, I want to f*cking kiss him/her.

The principle that says I don't like actors that seem like douchebags

Amen to that, that includes you Russell Crowe.

That kiss was hot and sweet at the same time, I right there with Audre. Wanted more. :) But I can wait, because it seems like Christian's worth it. The date was adorable, exactly what she needed I think.

Great update, I'm so glad to see another chapter in this story. :)

Once again, you blow me away with one of your fics. I love Harry Potter, and this was just such a great way to revisit those stories. So tragic, and you wrote such a facinating character with Dmitri. 

I just love this so much, and I'm so, so glad you posted it here.

Alright, I'm intrigued.

Peyton is very cute, talking to her dog. And Jared is already sprung, can't wait to see more from these two.

I'm excited about this story, great first chapter!

Oh lord, envelopes slid across tables is never a good thing.

Good to get the backstory on Payton, sheds new light on the character. And Ethan is still damn entertaining, love the way you write him.

Excellent update, looking forward to the next one..

And now I'm asking, what the hell did they do?

Liking Jared's infatuation with Payton, he doesn't know what hit him, does he?  And Grace and Ethan, damn. That was...kinda awesome. Love them.

Oh, I like Gavin. He knows how to handle his buisness and aparently Grace's too. And Ethan keeps on smiling like the pro he is, I love it.:)

Great update!

Dude, Ethan is such a great character, I love how you write him. I understand Gavin's conflict, but I'm on the fence about him and Grace. I like them together, but to steal your best friend's wife?  After he spills his guts about his troubled marriage? That's a bit cold blooded.

But I do love complicated characters, so I'm gonna sit back and watch what happens. Excellent chapter Harlen!

God, this just gets more and more complicated.

Ethan's a cheating ass, but he doesn't deserve that. I understand what Grace is feeling, and completely sympathize with her, but ultimately this just makes a bad situation worse. If she wants to be with Gavin, be with him, but not this way. It makes their relationship more about her failing marriage then what's actually between them.

As for Gavin *sigh* not sure what I can say really. Great character, but so very selfish. Not sure either one of these men can claim any kind of moral high ground at this point.

Thanks so much for the update Harlen, this was excellent. :)

Payton and Jared are sweet and hot, they're good together. Glad they finally realized that. Excellent update Harlen. :)

Author's Response: Hi TBG, Yes, Payton finally realized it. She had some things she needed to get past and Jared was patient enough to see that. She did good resisting that long! Thanks so much for your feedback.

I'm so glad you updated Harlen! I like Reed, he seems smart and capable, with that hint of bad boy about him that's damn sexy. I liked his convo with Waverly, thought they played off each other nicely, though I am wondering who's giving her those workouts in the bedroom. Nice little cliffhanger there. :)  I also liked seen Peyton working her public relations skills, and I like that Jared appreciates how good she is at her job.

Loved the update Harlen, and looking forward to the next!

Whoa, lot going on. So Dru's gonna try to get Neil back, that should be interesting. And Martin is kinda bad assed, I like it. Lexie got a taste, and I like that even better.

This story is awesome, please up update again soon...
