He looked a little resigned, a though he had expected an answer more like that, and stayed to talk to me for a few more minutes. Eventually he made me promise that I would show up and then left.

minor spelling mistake "a though"

wow. your story captures me like a venus fly trap...ok that didn't really make sense. but i LOVE your plot. you make me feel as if melanie was really all that pretty and dignified, even though it's only a story. and you make me feel as if andrea is a hyperactive klutz who is really really nice. and you make it feel as if tracie was jealous of andrea and she hated her. and you make victoria sound as if she was pretty shy on the outside, but inside, she's totally different.

wow. whenever i like a story, i write a very long review for it. this is definitely going on my fav stories and fav authors list. i love it.

uh-oh. well Victoria definetely shouldn't have done that and Michelle...well i don't like her to begin with.

i know Victoria will tell Melanie when she gets back from Hawaii, because the guilt will kill Victoria from the inside out. and Melanie will probably feel betrayed and they'll have a big fight and might even seperate for awhile. will the stress send Victoria back into an anorexic relapse?

ahh, update soon!

arg! Michelle is such a bitch!

Wow. Pretty...SWEET! Love it!

wow. this just keeps getting better and better. can't wait for your next update *big grin*

Wow. This is a really great story so far. I love the conflicts that the characters are facing, and the plot really works.

Hope you update soon!

Hm some interesting developments. I'm really glad you updated, and I hope the next one comes soon!

I'm really happy I found this story, it's fantastic.

I like that you didn't rush your characters into a relationship, usually authors just shove them together after a chapter or so. I'm so glad you didn't.

Also, I love your writing style. It flows really well and it seems so *real*, you know? You go into so much detail about everything, characters included, that when I read it, it's like I can actually see whats happening, which is pretty damn amazing.

So yeah, I like this story, you're an excellent writer. I'm looking forward to your next chapter.

omg lol so much tension and unexpectedness and lol stomach lurching...this story is awsome it really is sumthin i look forward to n dunt worry bout tha delay it was SO worth it lol :D keep writing! :)

hey. Great to see you pick up again.

Hm, do I sense Mel having a drunkn cheating moment? lol

As always you're doing good, keep it up :)

Oh its no big deal, I mean for taking time to update, just as long as you plan to update your story every so often until the END, its all good. :) Because it really sucks when someone abandons their story, leaving the poor readers waiting for absolutely nothing. ;_; Just, uhm, don't take too long. *smiles* Because your readers (including me of course) are all dying here of anticipation! XD

Anyway, very nice chapter, its about time adding a new and interesting character. :3! Looking forward to your next update :)

DUN DUN DUN! Next time on Fragrant Magnolias... what will happen with Michelle? Will she keep Victoria and Melanie's big secret? Or will she tell everyone and ruin their lives! For all this and more, tune in next time, to FRAGRANT MAGNOLIAS!

so i forgive you for the wait, although i was starting to worry. this chapter was good and the prospect of new drama in the next chapters makes me want more!

please don't wait so long this time, i'll be waiting impatiently! hahahahaha

Ah, an update! glad to see you're still writing this story. it's great.

This chapter was REALLY good! I absolutely loved the car scene and how embarrassed she was feeling afterwards, because it even made me feel embarrassed (and there hasn't been a car scene in my life p) so that was really well written.

I'm just glad to see another update, but I'm so scared that Michelle will break them up! If she does, I hope you kill her afterwards!

Keep it up!

Great chapter. I can't wait to know more about Michelle. I can smell trouble. LOL!
