Awesome! I loved this.

I hoping you finish this story. this is pretty good

Nikki, your presents are always a highlight of my birthday! Thank you so much for this.

Of course, I enjoyed this chapter. The bowling was a bit too...chaste. =P It was still wonderfully written and completely adorable to see nervous Craig out with Ashley on their "first date." I love how you have Ashley in college because its where I'd like to see her character end up after this season.

Also, the obstacle of Kate is a very realistic one. I think that no matter what Crash has faced in the past, Ashley's mother's approval is one they HAVE to beat if they want to end up together. Ashley didn't let her mother stop her from being with Craig in season 4 but in the long run it would bother her that she didn't have her family supporting her. You did a wonderful job of showing that from all the character's perspectives. Kate was so EVIL.

And my favorite line: "Taking risks to make Ashley happy? That’s pretty much programmed in his head and heart." It just made me go "aw" because I can imagine Craig truly believing that on the show.

Well, I deeply apologize it took so long to get this done after I promised I'd leave you a review. And again, I apologize that it took a nudge. Be happy that I am setting aside homework to leave you a review. :) Yay procrastination!

Anyway, you are THE writer of Crash. I love when you do Crash/Jimash triangles because they are always so believable. My favorite part so far is when Ashley and Craig were resisting each other because they didn't want to botch his recovery. The honeymoon fluff parts are adorable, beautiful imagery and Crash finally being happy. But I prefer the angsty flashback! Its where Crash shines and where the story pace just speeds up.

Of course the contrast is wonderful. You manage to capture their progress by showing the "then and now" and leaving the reader wondering when you will fill in the pieces. I hope you do continue the story and while I dislike leaving reviews (sorry!) I will for this one. It may take a nudge and some waiting, but it will be done! But go ahead and take your time. :)

I really love that paragraph about Craig's baggage. Nice flow between the past and the present. And aw, that's so sweet to imagine Ashley offering to go with Craig to visit his father's grave. She probably did offer. And thanks for mentioning how Craig wishes that his parents could be at the wedding in the next paragraph. I'm sure he did feel that way.

You wrote Ashley so well. All her tour guides and I totally see her getting sick of the law stuff cause it's not creative. Ashley...the real Ashley...would burn out so quick if she became a lawyer. Very believable that she gave it up.

I love the stuff about Craig needing to go back to rehab. Hehe, he calls her up and is basically crying and then tells her to go away. I'm amused by that for some reason.

Love the dancing scene. You can't tell that you love Dancing with the Stars at all. =P Or that you love to put Craig inbetween Jimash. That never gets old. = )

Is there going to be more?
