I am enjoying this story but didn't Harm meet Jen at Christmas 2001, not that it is that important.

A food fight?
With onions and pasta dough?
Between 2 consenting adults?
Really?
OKAAAAAY! LOL

Since you skip the actual details between Harm picking up Mattie's car and then suddenly being home for dinner, I assume Harm had no problem driving on the Motorways, on the left. I have seen his driving remember - in Boomerang! He had no idea what a roundabout was or how to drive around one.
Vic and Jen are getting on well, but Jen has no reason to be guilty about how she behaved.
As for Johnny and Julia, blast those loud mouthed kids - who really should have kept their mouths shut!
Good chapter.

It sounds funny...Harm using a Sat Nav...

Is it just me over is the talk over here less love-related and more deep friendship?

Flipping heck, I'm knackered after reading this! At least Johnny and Julia are okay, not sure at the moment about Gill and Harm, hopefully they'll weather whatever comes their way. Back to work now, the darned phone keeps ringing!

Wow, what a chapter! I'm so glad that Harm has opened up to Gill, hopefully she'll be able to help him get rid of his demons. Of course I'm delighted that Julia has taken the initiative with Johnny lol! Hope to read more later .

Nice way you have of letting Harm and Jen tell their stories. Really like Gill's response. Nicely done. :)

Great chapter

Great chapter. I liked the interactions between Gill and Harm. Harm is obviously still very worried about how his past is going to impact his relationship with Gill, but I think she's doing a good job in reassuring him.

J/J and V/J are really cute ;-)
And I'm curious as to how are you going to tell Jen's story...

Its really amazing to watch you develop the characters and plots in your story. Harm is maturing and Gill sounds amazing. Both other couples, Johnny/Julia and Vic/Jen sound adorable. I'm really enjoying your story!

Ahh...the perfect end to a long day - an update of my favourite fic. I really like the way Harm and Gill's relationship is developing and that neither of them is rushing their fences, but are obviously becoming committed to developing their relationship. Gill's summary of Mac's character was right on the ball - if ever a flawed character was held up for approval, then Sarah McKenzie takes the prize. And so nice to see the other relationships developing along the way. Thank you :)

Love how Harm and Gill are loving each others company, and can't wait un til she meets Mattie.

Are we going to hear storytime with Jen in the next chapter? That would be great! Anyhow, very nice back and forth with Harm and Gill. They are definitely a good match, and I love Gill's attitude towards his past. I am very much looking forward to seeing how she is when she meets Mattie! Keep up the great work!

Johnny certainly set Julia up for that one, knowing full well she'd jump at the chance to see some nice English forestland and all the wildlife. Nice update on Jen/Vic. Whodda thunk that Gil listens to Velvet Underground? Yeah, that song title might have inflated Harm's ego a bit, but it could also have eased his fears.

Gill is perfect for Harm! Burn mac Burn!

"I've got a better idea, why don't we both clean up and then we can both take coffee into the lounge?"

* * * Wow, respect at how she turned the entire situation and state of affairs with a single sentence! Not a guest, but an equal partner, someday to be an inhabitant of that house.

Only the one outlet today, Gill, that's the Subaru outlet,

* * * Harm has finally met with good taste and common sense! Bravo! :D

and it has a good enough performance to keep me happy, so I won't feel like I'm driving a Crown Victoria

* * * No European or Asian car won't give you that feeling, Harm, even if it's only 1.6 liters. The inability to get anything out of an engine without massive displacement is only an American disease. ;-)

Would've loved to put Harm or an average American (especially one of those who swear that only muscle cars are real cars) as passenger into either a Caterham 7 or KTM X-Bow or Ariel Atom. :D

Aww, too bad, I was hoping we'd get to the part where they actually pick the car up. Which colour? Please tell me it's either Gold (they've got this lovely intense shade of gold) or their trademarked shade of dark blue, called Subaru Blue. :D

Fantastic chapter, waiting for more! :D
