You have earned yourself another pat on the back, girlfriend! I know you are weaving many threads together to bring this tale to its close but please tell me we will get to know the details on Michelle's cousin AND get another interaction with Mark the dog, or at least find out more about Mark the brother.

Love it, update soon!

A fifteen minute break probably would have been just enough time for this all to go down. Great chapter, can't wait to read more.

I was hoping you'd update!
I have to tell you how much I admire Randee. She is such a strong, self-contained character. As you note here, she has no emotional urgency or desperate dependency on anyone. She'll be okay with or without them. She consciously chooses to be with someone instead of being unable to resist him. That is so rare in love stories.

It seems Michael isn't finished causing trouble yet. I love Randee's clear reasoning and calm way of diffusing the situation. And it was fun to return to the place of that memorable previous scene between her and Alex. It was amusing when he caught on to her plan for using the palette knife.

Most of all, I love how Randee is changing Alex's perception realistically with intelligence and logic. He's not suddenly turning from a lion to a lamb by the magic power of love. It is happening by degrees, and not in the usual cliche ways.

Best boyfriend and friends, update please :D

Glad they reconciled :) Great chapter, though I'm a little sad to hear the story's coming to an end soon...can't wait for an update!

Glad that her friends still welcomed her!

Aw. ;) I'm glad she has pals.

AWWWW THIS IS SO CUTE! OH OH OH!
What a sweet chapter amidst all the hotness! 3 My heart is so warmed... literally, I'm freezing cold here in New England and to read this chapter was so nice.
Thanks so much for continuing this wahhhh oh my gosh I hope you continue writing this. please please please don't give this up! I love Randee and everybody else so much!

Like Randee, I was imagining all kinds of big displays involving Alex. I should have known that you would think up something unexpected. I love the way you showed how they've been there for her all along. It was actually more touching than some big confrontation would have been. The fact that they were doing it quietly without Randee knowing shows how much they respect her.

I liked how she went up to Alex, even though she lost her nerve at the last minute. And the conversation she overheard conveys how moody he is over her. This was another great chapter, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the pace. I'm enjoying this story immensely. So thrilled every time you update!

Awesome chapter! I liked how you got Randee and her friends back together. Yeah, it wasn't really dramatic or anything, but I think it fit well with the rest of the story. Hope the next update comes soon!

Awww I am crying 3 so sweet. Now how about Chap 20? I do love to push my luck. Sooooo... while I am at it how bout a million dollars...a clean house and World Peace?

Oooooh I am drowning in yearning for Chap 19!

could you please update soon? I wonder what'll be in that locker

I totally love randee and her attitude , how she won't take #%*! From people. Her thoughts are funny and embarssing at times. But I have to say Alex is my favorite right now I love how he protected her and I enjoy seeing all these different sides of him , from when he's angry to almost seemingly desperate, horn or even somewhat loving
And that violent scene was like rendee said scary yet hot
It's fun to see Alex try to express his feelings to randee and yet randee opinion on how he does it is that he's not helping at all
Ok back to why I wrote this , I really want you to update plzzz I absolutely adore this story and can't get enough of it. Its a great and mind intriguing story I just can't wait to see what happens next
