abuseThe frustration and anger leaps off the page at you. You only get emotion like that between two people who love each other and you've captured that perfectly here.

The dialogue and it procession through the anger to the misunderstanding and finally to an understanding is wonderfully believable.

Danny admission about the two times in his life when he's been scared was perfect - only a 'real man' would be able to admit what scares him and, of course, as he is the definitive alpha male, what scares him is emotions he can't control!

The conversation about the dress made me giggle, particularly Danny's frustration that somehow the conversation has temporarily become about looks.

As for the ending...*sigh*.

I think the word 'perfect' was invented for fics like this :)

abuseI love the arc on this story - you gave us all the facts we needed to get the background, but left things uncertain enough that many interpretations were possible. I thought the resolution was well in character for both. I loved the spare language through out the story; it really worked to reflect the frozen emotional state of the characters.

abuseWow! I mean wow! I always am I little amazed when I stumble across the perfect conjuncture of good writing with steamy writing. I love your balance and the angst and the mystery. Brilliant!

abuseOh this was most definitely worthwhile angst! You know I love the angst but chapter two had me a little scared there.

So, I had figured it was Danny and Lindsay right from the get go but what threw me was that you had me really thinking that they had ended up married to other people. I was worried we had lost you to the dark side for a minute, Sally! :)

Quote-Pit Bull ferocity; they eyed each other, he working his jaw, she massaging the palm of her hand with a thumb, neither willing to give the inch that would bridge the gap looming between them.

I love this. The imagery is great and it is so in character for both of them. The two of them are so stubborn and the pit bull is a perfect comparison for both of them.

I am very relieved to know that they are actually married to each other. I loved how you explained the night in the bar, it was that perfect moment where everything clicks into place and the things you read earlier that seemed so ambiguous become clear cut.

Beautiful story.

abuseOnce again your writing talent shows through with this piece. Sorry for not reviewing earlier, but I was too afraid of where it went! But of course, you meant it when you said to stick to the end.

The emotions and rawness was well written and shows through well.

"And then she was lost in the feeling… of being alive"

a perfect ending. Great job SJ.

abuseWhat a well written story! I loved how you built the tension; it's so emotional! I went back to reread it once I read the ending and all the pieces came together. Brilliant!

abuseDamn woman, you can WRITE. This is spectacular. the way you craft the words to tell your tale is truly humbling. I will definatelt be around for all 3 acts (and pretend I don't know "Skylines and Wheatfields" is waiting for you ;-)

abuseI love the rhythm you have developed with this fic.

The sentence structure; the concise writing style; the language you have used. All go to build the picture of hurt, betrayal, anger, confusion and pain that you are describing here.

Not only that but it was pretty damn hot too!

QUOTE: Eyes drowsed; lips pouted; their red sheen undisturbed; clothing intact; panties merely pushed aside at the crotch.

This was a ** befitting a bathroom stall. /QUOTE

Great picture!

I also loved the ending to the chapter

QUOTE: A hand on her wrist; a moment to twist it out of his grasp; she was out the door and down the stairs.

She would not be back; she promised herself that. It wasn’t worth it… just to feel alive. /QUOTE

So, we still need to know who, why and what happens next!

abuseThis just keeps getting better and better. I loved the 'mysterious' vibe you injected in this fic that keeps me guessing and wanting more. There were times i was like, "is it...? could it be...?" But for some reason i dare not complete my own guess of what's what...lol!

Loved this line: She was prepared this time; she wouldn’t let herself look, to see the disgusted expression; to let him see her bliss at her complete surrender to him… like last time. She would only play the fool once.

ROFL. I know you probably didn't intend for that to be funny. But I read that and just about died. How degrading, though. You did a great job of showing Lindsay's (?) Disgust, but need for physical contact.

I also liked the line about the cat and the antifreeze. :) Can't wait to see more of this little tail unfold!!

abuseAfter reading, I paused for a few moments to gather my thoughts, but they are still kind of reeling. I can't quite find the right words to describe it, but some that come close that come to mind are hot, desperation, building, need, escalating... just, amazing. Great writing, I am really looking forward to the next segment!

abuseYou build the tension so well here, from the sexual tension and release to the emotional rebound. Every line is so controlled and stripped down, mimicking the action with the text.

I look forward to the final act.
