So who is she with now? Of course, I could have made the wrong assumption.
Well, Jenni, since you asked she... Oh, wait! I can't tell you that
so he's done or doing something he's not exactly proud of - maybe
Well, you see... Oh wait! I can't tell you that, either, AnKS
As for the italics... yes, they are for the flashbacks. And trust me, the one thing I will tell you about this story is that there are a lot of flashbacks

.
Anyway, I have, in addition to the italics, put two ** at the beginning and end of every flashback. But I'm not quite sure it's enough. The italics, I think, work so much better. On the other hand, I'll probably end up posting it on the archives. I was just really hoping someone would have a brilliant idea that would really keep people from getting confused as I jump back and forth.
So... I guess that's something I'd ask people to keep their eyes open for as they read through the story. Does it get too confusing?
Please, don't post more frequently then very other day.
Now, there is the voice of reason. What's with all these other people anyway, wanting the entire story now? I just don't understand

(who would just like to point out that, in spite of the above comments, I believe in happy endings)
