It gives me immeasurable joy to read your work! Thank you so much for updating

I didn't know you updated and it has been 2 months since the update! I was so surprised and so excited for the new chapter! Thanks for still coming back to let us know how you are doing. I hope you are well and everything in your life is going great for you!

I am loving the story and would sometimes come back and reread the chapters when I miss the characters! I will still always be waiting here! :)

Hooray for the update! Look forward to seeing their relationship develop

Will you update Brown Eyes again?

Ahh I meant to review this as soon as I got the notification on this chapter but life caught up with me and I'm leaving a review now. Anyway, I *loved* this chapter as much as I love all the other chapters of this story. I actually re-read this entire story during the holidays this year because it randomly popped up in my mind (the same way that I'll sometimes go back to re-read Brown Eyes. Literally the last time I re-read Brown Eyes was during 2020 at the height of quarantine). But I love, love, love the way you write Xavier and Artemis's interactions. I love the constant push and pull between them between vulnerability and hesitancy. Like who knew a HUG could be so meaningful, haha. The slow burn has been lowkey excruciating but it's my favorite kind of build-up between two characters and kudos to you for writing each scene between them SO well. It's really been such a pleasure to read.
In terms of the other parts of this story, I'm half-expecting some kind of impending showdown between Maya and Artemis and I am looking forward to Artemis ripping her t s. I'm also in love with Mariel's character and hope she continues to show up? And even though I fully ship Xavier & Artemis, there's a little part of me that looks forward to Sven's involvement with Artemis torturing Xavier a bit more. (Xavier deserves it a bit, no?) I'm also really curious to see how things play out between Artemis/her father/Emily (and, of course, Artemis's mother). What will happen to Noah? What will happen to Emily and Artemis's father's relationship? Will Artemis's parents get back together or? Looking forward to seeing everything play out!
Also had to include my favorite line in this chapter: "It was a smile that crinkled the corners of her eyes and brightened her eyes, making Xavier feel like he missed the last step going down the stairs. The waiter caught his eyes and smirked knowingly, only causing Xavier's flush to deepen."
Ahhh I'm grinning all over again. It's moments/lines like that that really bring two characters to life. And I LIVE for little moments like this.
Anyway thank you for blessing us with another chapter! I hope you update soon but I very much relate to what you said in your author's note: It's been very difficult to get back into a creative headspace for me as well so best of luck to you with all you writing (or other creative) endeavors! :)

Love reading your stories. So glad you are back! Looking forward for more from you soon!

I was real surprised to see this update! Thanks a bunch. :) I might need to reread this again.

so happy you're back!

I know it's 5 years later but any chance of an update? Lol.

I just really love this story :)

Please update!

How I wish you would update this already. It may be years but I'm sure you can continue this. Please try to. :) I love Xavier's confidence. Every time I read him with Artemis, I feel like that is when he is most laid back. Although Artemis is one shell hard to crack, the persistence in Xavier is just charming. I love the reaction of the people around them regarding their romance. Your writing is simple and I am glad that I see diversity in your characters even in your other stories. I also like reading about strong female leads and this one has that and I can't wait for more character development. I hope to read from you soon!
