Hey you can't help what you like, but it was a funny story.

and still... i can understand his reasons...

That was hysterical. Hetty's final riposte just perfect seeing as she knows everything. Brilliant. Loved it.

This is so perfect I can't find words for it. Wit is often confined to a very few words and in this case I'm in love with all 634 of them. Intelligent, funny and well within each character. I bow to you.

Love it. Don't get me wrong, I ship Nallen, but this is just too awesome

Even though I can see Nell with Callen a lot more than I can see her with Eric - I TOTALLY LOVED this cute little story. There are some beautiful quotes here that really enjoyed and got me laughing so hard my wife came in to seee what was wrong:
"What about Eric? He had his chance. He tried, he crashed, he burned." and
"It's a perfect match,"..."Brains meets brawn."...""Although I'm not sure who is who." and the final one
"A moment, if you don't mind," she (Hetty) said in a voice that was deceptively sweet. And then … the kicker.
"Unless you'd prefer someone taller …?"
This was extremely well though out and beautifully condensed to a few words - resulting in a fantastic story.

Bahahahahahahaha the all knowing Hetty

He should really know better than to say that word, you never know when Hetty's around and will take offense. While I don't agree with you about the Nell/Callen thing, I did like this one.

LMAO! God I love Hetty...and yeah, I don't get the whole Nallen thing either. Neric is just too cute to not ship.

Ha! I loved it! Great, fun little story.

Despite my enjoyment of reading 'Nallen' fics, i really liked this story! And really, it is a much more believable scenario given the characters personalities. I especially liked Hetty overhearing him!

Great story, made me chuckle. Your dialogue is very in character.

I do have to admit, however, to being a little wary of the 'we have to tackle Nallen' vibe I'm getting over here in the reviews from some of your readers, and I address this to them: Can't we all ship and let ship?

Ha the ending

That was brilliant! As always Hetty is where she can pick up the things they don't want her to do.

Great job

Very funny! You have a good sense of humor.
