Ahh! Apparently I'm going to fill your inbox with with review notifications today! But I loved this one as well! You write them so perfectly! I have to remind myself that this isn't really happening!

This is absolutely one of my favorite stories. :) There's so many great sentences, so I won't be able to quote all of them.

"If there was one thing Eric resolved never to do, it was break a promise, especially to someone he cared about so deeply."

Very nice start. The first sentence is very important for a story, and this one is really, really good.

"He crossed the room to the bed, quickly slipping his shoes and his jeans off, leaving him in his shirt and his boxers. Quietly he slid under the covers, slipping an arm around Calleigh and burying his face in her hair, breathing her in, intoxicated by the scent of her shampoo mixed with the scent that was just uniquely Calleigh. Until now, he hadn't realized just how much he missed her. It'd been too long, and now that he was back, he never wanted to leave her again.

He was home."

Home. I like it... Home is where the heart is, right? It's not just the place where we live. You really made me think of that with this one. And I'm sure Eric was thinking it, too.

Also this:

""How was Brazil?" she breathed.

"Lonely," he whispered huskily right by her ear, sending shivers down her spine."

It just fits so good here. I mean, characterization is perfect. :) I can totally imagine this scene playing out.

I loved, loved, loved the whole last part (I really can't quote all of that, lol) where they talk about why did Eric go and if it was the right decision...

And at the end:

"She nodded, softly kissing him on the lips. "I'm not going anywhere."

He'd kept his promise to her, and now it was her turn. It was a promise she never intended to break. Never."

Just the perfect ending... I already said that the fist sentence is very important for a story and I have to add that the last one is, too. And you always know how to end stories perfectly... I like that Eric made a promise in the last story and that she did it in this one. Especially because he really needed it. :)

Great job, Jess, really fantastic (as always ;) ). I enjoyed reading this story, so, so much.

Great chapter! I love it how happy they both are that they are finally together again! Yeah I also don't believe that rio just took 1 day! :D I have one little but though, it would have been better if you had posted it as a second chapter, instead of a new story, cause it's just so much easier to find it than! But you could also blame that on me being lazy! lol

This is my first Eric Calleigh fic...And I must say, it is very...very.. I'm actually speechless. The raw emotion that Eric is feeling, I could barely wrap my head around it. It was simply stunning. Truly loved reading it, fantastic job!

That was powerful, and good. You're right, how could it possibly take place in one day? Well, we could always ask the writers! It took three days to shot at least the Brazilian parts too! And only one day! Well, wonderful story. A favorite of mine. Loved it. Love, RM. Good work.

Awh:)! This makes me very happy! I do agree with you, in the sense that it is sort of off that that all happened in one day. I really needed some EC fluff from this episode:D after Ryan called Calleigh beautiful *shudder* hah. Very lovely!

Oh my goodness. This is the last straw! THIS SITE...has turned me into an EC shipper. At least in fanfic land, and at least for a little while if everyone keeps writing it like this.

First off - you summed up Eric's reaction to what happened with Riaz as beautifully as anyone could. As for the rest of the story, the opening was so sweet...I love the image of her waking up to find him back. And his joke about the cut made me smile, even though Calleigh's reaction is perfect. In fact, imagining this version, I suddenly don't feel quite as bleak as I did while watching the episode. I'm out of words: perfect scene, and you should have a prize for being the person to flip me on the ship.
