"I'm sorry, Heather, but this place isn't home for me. Despite the hellhole that New Bern became, it's home for me. And I'll take on the entire A.S. army to get back home if I have to."
I love how determined Lily is. She's a fantastic and strong character. I think it helps Heather to have someone reminding her of home and that she's going back, some time.
"No, he was withdrawn, cold after you left. Much colder and withdrawn than when you were with him. Then something happened -“
What happened indeed. I can't wait to read your companion story to that!! Seriously, dying with anticipation over here.
Chances are if he had the evening his way, we’d be saying to hell with the ball & not leave my room until morning.
Chance are if he'd leveled that sort of look at me, we wouldn't be going anywhere, lol.
The groups distraction was beautifully done! I loved Maggie in this chapter, even though she normally bugs me, she did a lot of clumsy things that I'm infamous for. :)
“I said why don’t we leave this hole and go some place where we can get to know one another a little better.”
What a slime ball! Some of his pick-up lines made me cringe, hardcore. I think I'd would have slugged this guy my own self so it was amazing when Beck showed.
A shiver ran down my spine too, when he spoke. I'm so happy he's back.
It wasn’t diplomacy that was reaching out to Stanton right now, nor patience. It was rage.
Ah! Scary!Beck
I love the interchange when Beck is checking her out physically. I have a soft spot for hurt!comfort, and this filled my heart with joy. Super Beck should be available for sale nationwide.
“Nothing horrible,” he said, “Just some canned meat, mayo, vinegar . . . “
Priceless. Absolutly fantastically priceless.
Then there's the whole last third of your story which makes me angst happy and aching for more!!! I hope we see the next chapter, or that off shoot that you mentioned, soon. :)
Priceless. Absolutly fantastically priceless. Part of this comes from a joke between myself, my college roommate and my boyfriend when we went shopping once and came across "potted meat product" in the canned meats section. Have to admit it was one of the few things in my life that made me stop, scratch my head and say "What the hell?"

I think if the show had continued and Beck and Heather continued that chemistry they had, I could see Beck being very protective of her, I think he's just that type of guy. And he's cared for her early on -- whether he wants to admit that to himself is something else entirely however. I also have to say I was somewhat influenced by the beginning of V for Vendetta as far as Stanton's character was concerned. I definitely like the idea of Super Beck...
Chance are if he'd leveled that sort of look at me, we wouldn't be going anywhere, lol. I think if Beck wasn't in the picture also, Heather would likely be testing Carlos' headboard theory with him...
I love how determined Lily is. She's a fantastic and strong character. I think it helps Heather to have someone reminding her of home and that she's going back, some time. I wanted Heather to have a friend that would be sort a cross between plucky comic relief and a bit of a realist. Granted, Lily takes leaps of faith, but usually only after a rational conclusion -- ok, perhaps a bit more rational to Lily than to Heather, but I digress...

I loved Maggie in this chapter, even though she normally bugs me, she did a lot of clumsy things that I'm infamous for. :) Well, even though I have said that Maggie may not necessarily be all that she seems, I still wanted her to have some quirky and human flaws.
