Poor Pen - Hope Derek can prove he really loves her! :)

I'm not certain Rossi did the right thing in pissing off Pen, but I liked the result.

Well done.

so close yet so far away wonderful ending hon thanks for sharing

Please post the next installment soon :)

I've read some great fics, but right now, I can't think of one that I like better than this. I love that you took the road never travelled and had Garcia questioning Derek's profession of love based on his past. I can't wait for the next story...

Great story and love how she didnt make it easy for him and how he is going to have to think and prove he wants her...great work and cant wait for the next installment

an emotionally intense chapter. I liked it. I don't blame Pen a bit for feeling this way

Ooh! Looking forward to the next bit! Loved the tension and her giving him the ultimatum... now let's see the month later effect P Loved this whole story!

I'm sorry to hear about JWynn, lovely story to dedicate to her ) Oh I bet he could woo her with her a blink! Or is that just me? P brilliant update!

As much as I'd like her to believe him right away, what she did makes sense and I definitely see her point. Really like the 'in a month' thing and loved Morgan's last line. Can't wait for the next part!

As much as I want to shake some sense into her for not believing him I can actually see her common sense coming in to things if it were ever to happen - gotta protect your heart. Brilliant chapter! Loved this three shot - you really have these two down to pat! Looking forward to the next one :)

OH! I wasn't expecting that ending but I loved it none the less. I am kind of mad at Garcia for not believing him but I totally understand. I love the timeline she gave him.

His parting line was sheer brilliance :

"One month, Baby Girl," he said, reaching for the door. "Then you're mine."

I find a cocky yet vulnerable Morgan to be oh so sexy.

Thank you and I will be waiting anxiously for "The Difference."

you did a great job on this chapter and this story... i love it...

I'm glad there is going to be a sequel. Great ending.

Breathtaking imagery, especially right at the end...can't wait to see more!
