He expects Lee and Zak to hit the door like a thunder clap and burst into the room. They’ll jump onto the bed and shake him awake. Their mother is finally tired of holding them at bay. He can smell the French toast she always makes-she always used to make, but hasn’t made in years.

Laughter, again, but he opens his eyes to an empty bed, the details of the dream flitting out of his conscience. The laughter isn’t theirs. It filters through the empty apartment like a score playing over the wrong musical.

This is such a brilliant, sad way to open this chapter. You realize Bill's probably been doing the "Day in the Life" scenario for twenty years. Also, at this point, he's unaware that he's about to lose the affection of the woman he spent his night with. Oh (((Bill))).

*Stares at T*

You seriously got your Bill fail on for this chapter, didn't you?

She’s gone. His heartbeat speeds up in his chest and he wonders if she’s gone home without telling him goodbye, maybe kissing him in thanks. He shouldn’t expect such things. This wasn’t

Total Bill fail chapter. It couldn't be a happy ending. We both know that!

Also, at this point, he's unaware that he's about to lose the affection of the woman he spent his night with. Oh (((Bill))).

He needs the hugs. The poor guy's a broken little bird. A broken little girl bird.

BEST. DESCRIPTION. EVER. I can totally hear Saul's voice and tone.

I had this rambling pronoun-filled sentence trying to describe Saul's voice and larsfarm77 bitchslapped me in the way she does (kindly) and I got to the point. I thank her for that.

He would have been feeling better about himself if he'd never laid eyes on her.

So true.

Um, no you didn't. But don't worry, Bill, you're going to find the most amazing woman in ANOTHER TWENTY YEARS! (((Bill)))This made me laugh but also, it's so fucking true, which is absolutely horrible

All of my bitchslapping skillz I learned from Anne.

*ducks*

[somadanne]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG, I love this so much.

[icedteainthebag]

lol. (((you))) *shakes from intimidation*

[somadanne]

Um, no you didn't. But don't worry, Bill, you're going to find the most amazing woman in ANOTHER TWENTY YEARS! (((Bill)))

OMG, it is so sad to think about how true this is. You'll find her in another twenty years, Bill, and she'll be dying. :(

Of course, I'm sure he lived like a monk while he was waiting for her. ;)

By the way, TJ, half the fun of watching this story as Tea has been posting it, has been seeing how absolutely much you've enjoyed it. :D
