Really sometimes I can't put into words how much I love this story. I mean, awesome.
So I get your pm and I'm so excited you know get an update before I go to work, the perfect way to start a day. But the internet just didn't agree with me and I had to wait until after work which is hmm let's see 2:20 AM. So bear with me while I ramble in my exhaustion. It'll be fun!
This chapter seemed so like almost simple but simple isn't the right word and I can't think of the right word. It wasn't very eventful but so loaded with emotions and just their reaction to the night, they are so torn. It was just incredible.
I love how much this story makes me think. I try and get into their minds as much as you do and your incredible writing makes that very easy.
He picks up the pieces. Small shards of shattered glass carefully held in the palm of his hands as he proceeds to clear away the mess on her tiled kitchen floor. A part of him smiles in the irony, relates the likeness of the glass to her. But another part of him is too conflicted to care.
The subtle comparison was a great way to start the chapter. The way you followed up with the there's too much other stuff going on in my head right now was also great. There is just so many things that need to be dealt with. Vaughn, well he's got some work ahead of him and he knows it and you wrote that he knows it so well. I love the word conflicted, it just works so well and you know it's under used. Just though I would point that out.
Whether it be with regret, or with love, she would let him decide, the fate of their relationship lying solely in his hands. It was what he chose to do with them, that remained the crucial element. One way or the other, she tells herself she will accept whatever he decides, and waits for his reaction.
But none comes.
Come on Vaughn. This is your time to shine, make the right decision. I love the way Sydney is dealing with it. She's so passive, is that a good word? In a weird subtlely agreesive passive style? Oh god, when I say things like that, I know it's been a weird review.
I could just quote the whole damn chapter but to tell you the truth I would end up saying the stupidest things because I am so damn tired. I'm going to give you a good review one of these days but this is all I can come up with for now.
This story, well it just rocks my socks.
