Whoa, Ann!
<scans down extremely, amazingly, brilliantly long review of the last chapter>
Oh my gosh! You get the award for the most amazing review of my story so far. I am *so* glad you loved this chapter. I've never tried waffy, and I was afraid it might be too sudden of a swap from the darkness of before, or that it would just plain be awkward. I am so very, very, very glad you liked it.
It was also fun to go through and "see" your reactions to the parts you...er...quoted
. This chapter was pretty cuddly for me too.
I hope it makes up...somewhat...for the other stuff that's gone on with these twosome (though surely not for all).
Actually I'm more anxious for Lois to see him that way, de-boxerized and de-briefed, and for her to familiarize herself with that, hmmm, naked truth of him. I wonder if your story is ever going to take them there. Yes, yes, yes, I know, this is the PG folder.
Heheh. <blushes> Well, just to tell you--I'm not even going there. I'm quite naive and innocent and awkward and...er...well, you get the idea. Let's just say that...well, you can't get much more innocent than I am, at that respect. Only 19. Never even kissed a guy (though I have had more than one guy ask--I'm a bit...*really* old fashioned in that respect). I'm from Happy Valley, you know. It's actually a place, even if it's not officially on a map. And, we, er...kind of have a bubble. And I am in the middle of it.
So the point is, if any of that is going to be going on, you are going to be hearing about it quite distantly, not seeing it. And don't expect it any time soon.
Anyway, thanks for everyone elses' reviews! Chapter 18 should be up sometime tomorrow (for me--right now it's about 11 pm my time). I can't really say when (morning, afternoon, eve), because it's a study day and I have my first final Saturday morning. But it will be up!
It's another longer chapter, so sleep well (or have a good day, wherever you are), and look forward to it.
