Nice! Another chapter! I'm assuming this lady is his sister that taught him to fold that paper or maybe his mama. That would be interesting!

Ahoy, matey!

I seem to love these two even more every time I read your work. Individually and together. Especially Tifa this chapter and last. You make us fall in love with her, and it makes it so much easier to see how Vincent could just... give in. Really. I feel so involved with their characters. Because of the point of view you write in, too. We see both sides; one moment, I'm right there with Tifa and what she's feeling and thinking, the next, I'm with Vincent.

What else... Karlie's reaction was very amusing. No doubt Vincent thought so. Hehe, whoops. And well, this certainly is an interesting turn of things. Leilani Valentine... a little mystery soon to be answered. Hee, I liked how Vin did that cute envelope folding trick. My guy cousin from Canada sent me a letter like that recently, I was impressed; I don't even know how to do anything like that.

Bravismo, bravismo. I look forward to that next surrender/release chapter. D

GOOD STORY! Your write awsome!

ohh, i think it's rather good ... definately good! i enjoyed it! :)

Yay! An update! I love I love. Please, another? You got me very hooked with all of your stories.

yay! great chapter! update soon! _ ttyl! buh bye!

::scratches her head in confusion:: Who is this "Leilani Valentine" person you speaketh of? Some relative of Vincent's? A past wife? I'm really not understanding. ::looks ashamed:: Heh heh, Orlando has the same idea as me. And although this chapter still lacked, what I consider, the necessary amount of fluff, it was wonderful and extremely well written. How do you describe things so well and detailed without making it boring? I can't do that and I really wish I could. I'm all about the fluff. lol. Anyway, I'm glad Vincent didn't 'no-show' on Tifa and that he seems to like her well enough. It's torturous waiting for the fluff to start, but your fic is so awesome that I will bare it. ::huggles you:: Well, it seems that I have a one track mind, but at least you know that I love your fic so much that I read it no matter what angst and suspense goes on. Heehee. Poor Karlie. I laughed when she was ready to jump Vincent with an alcohol bottle. I'd jump him, but in a different way. ;) Anywho, I think I've disturbed you enough now so I'll leave you with my final words: "FANTASTICAL CHAPTER!" and until next you post, bai bai! :D ::showers you with random gifts and plushies::

Hm... moving along nicely. Lovely way to introduce the bar, and I love the little interactions. Orlando tickles me.

Great work, and thanks for the update! Made my day.

Woohoo! Update! Awesome... I loved all the awkward moments, namely Karlie and Vincent interaction. But of course, VincentXTifa reigns supreme. Lovely. And your description of the bar reminded me of my old house. For some reason. Anyway, this story is still gorgeous. I look forward to reading more.

You know what? I had a nasty day today: I'm sick, the weather was terrible, my apartment is freezing, my husband left me earlier this evening to watch wrestling and eat nachos with his buddies...

And then you updated! I immediately felt better, the sun came out (well, not really; it's eight o'clock), I wrapped up in a blanket to settle in for the chapter, and my husband being away became an interruption-free blessing. Thank you, Rachel. How did you know?

Just like always, I loved their interaction in this. Tifa showing him around the bar was cute (and well-paced, I might add...perfect amount of description. I loved your details, the glasses, the pink tinge in the floor) and the introductions made me smile and giggle. Orlando and Karlie, hmm? I think I might've read about them somewhere before. (Ooh, the infamous 'Kiss Me' bar? Hehe...ah-ahem...)

There were a couple of parts that stand out in my mind, I have to say something about them. So in character, true-to-life, Tifa is slightly insecure and, for a moment, isn't sure she's got Vincent's attention because he's staring at the floor. It just seemed to summarize everything about them. The way they humanly, believably deal with the fact that they don't know each other well (yet), and neither of them are sure what they want, tho Tifa knows she wants to help him, and Vincent knows he needs to move on. She's looking at him, and he's staring at the floor, and she's got ahold of someone with his last name, and he knows if anyone can bring him out of his own mind it's her...and there's so much of wanting to help and insecurity and silence because you don't want to say the wrong thing and taking risks even when you're not sure...

Oh, tangent. There's so much I can't quite put into words. It's real, the emotions, the insecurity. It makes me crave the moments of connection!

Now where was I? Oh yeah, other favourite parts. The moment Karlie picks up a bottle like he's broken in...to use the telephone, I suppose. And then once she knows who he is, she holds out her hand...and he gives her the receiver, and she looks at him like he's crazy. That made me laugh. Alone, to myself, between coughs, in my cold apartment. Cute, perfect, completely loveable chapter.

I hope you update again soon! But...no pressure. *does update-dance around a fire pit*

Wow, This is great! I'm really looking forwards to your next update! Keep up the Great writing!

V4T 4 eva!

Thank you so much for updating. I appreciate this more than you'd know. From everything that has gone wrong, this update coudn't have come at a better point in my life right now.

Thanks

::falls over in shock:: YOU UPDATED? ::dances with joy:: OH HAPPY DAY! I cn't believe it! I've been waiting so long with no word from you and at long last there's finally an update! ::huggles you:: Wonderful chapter. Yay! Vincent isn't leaving her again. Now they can meet up at the bar, fall in love and have a fluffy happy life! lol. Sorry, I'm a sucker for fluff and happy endings. I love how you are so attentive to details and you describe things in a way that makes it feel as though it's really happening. All the character interaction feels very real too. Seeing things from the perspectives of each person really helps. Excellent work and I hope you don't abandon your readers for another year. ;) I'm very looking forward to your next wonderful update. ::hands you roses and chocolate and a bag of money:: Keep up the fantabulous work. Until then, bai bai! :D

yay! go Tifa, i hope she gets vincent to do interesting stuff! :)
