Thank you so much for this. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time leave such a detailed review. It means a lot and it makes me feel more confident about this story. (I'm always very critical of my own work and I always feel like it is not good, so thank you for making me feel better about it) :)

First of all, I love the way this is coming about between them; it's slow, and (fairly) steady, and quite neat, considering. I know it can't be all smooth sailing ahead, and I really like how you've set it up, so that when the shit hits the fan it will be even more detrimental to them.

I'm happy to see this comment about the pacing. There are definitely going to be some obstacles and problems ahead for them but it was really important to me that I take the time to build their relationship and feelings and strengthen the bond between them. I've had a couple people worried that things are going to be all sunshine and rainbows and I thought with the title, summary and last line in this chapter it was clear that things are not going to be perfect and I was getting a little worried about it. So, I'm really glad that you think the pacing is good and that it is somewhat clear I'm setting things up. :)

I'm glad to that the characterization is working for you. They are both complex, although I find it a bit easier to write Rachel. I tend to worry about Will though and if he is true to character, so I really appreciate your comments.

Thanks again for taking the time to write all this. I am going to try to have the next chapter up this weekend. The next two chapters are going to have some overlapping purposes so I think I am going to write both of them before posting so that I can make sure it all works together the way I want it to. Because of that it might be a little longer, but should be early next week at the latest!
