Great Stuff!

Really enjoyed this. I agree with you about Ryan and Marissa at the beginning and thought it was interesting how you made Ryan react when he returns each time after visiting her. And I can totally see Theresa as a nurse!

I liked that. I liked how, instead of making Ryan broody when he came back, you had him overcompensate and he too jovial.

And I don't mind Ryan and Marissa together like this, because they do seem drawn to each other for the wrong reasons. And poor Theresa, just trying to ride it out.

I was happy to see something new from you.

hmm, kinda late at night, so just thought i'd read it. very well done! enjoyable--thanks for the read!

Cool little story there. Liked it. "Chino choices" indeed. I can just imagine Ryan doing that - and Theresa getting poissed off/freaked out by it. Nice one.
