This might be my favorite chapter so far. I loved the beginning with Addison trying to make her point but realizing leaving won't work when she's actually in her own house.

Also, the Mark/Addison closure in this was among the best I've ever read. I partularly loved the lines: His insecure side has always unsettled her and she never knew how to handle it properly while they were close friends or together. and His eyes light up at her unexpected praise; though he’s had other people tell him otherwise, her accusation that he would be a terrible father always echoes in the back of his mind even when he’s done something that makes his daughter giggle and smile.

You made me miss Callie and Addison interaction, and I really like where you're going with Mark/Callie. Great job.

Thank you.

So I...forgot to comment on the last part. I suck. Sorry. But I like so many things about this part.

Oh, Addison. I knew you couldn't stay away forever. I think you did well in capturing the vague certainty that is Pete & Addison. I don't know if that makes any sense, but...I'm talking about Pete & Addison as written but Shonda Rhimes, so maybe there's not a lot of sense to be had.

Her introspective retrospect
Love that alliteration. [Alliteration? I don't know. I'm terrible with literary terms. In any case, I think it sounds cool.]

I missed Addison & Callie's flip-out sessions together.
“This is going to sound all about Addison, but give him some time to get over me.”I love it. Perfectly in character

Hey, that's alright. I didn't reply to comments on the last part.

I don't know what literary device that is either (or if it is one), but I thought it sounded pretty damn cool.

Thank you so much. :) "Rescued" is my second (or third, depending on my mood) favorite song off of Everything in Transit.

Thank you for the closure and now I am fully prepared to move onto whatever you have in mind, (not that I have a choice or a say because I'll read anyway), but I appreciate the moving on thing. I enjoy how neither Derek nor Addison is in a position to give good relationship and they are still the other person has. Oh, and Caroline, in my head at least, is adorable. Thanks for the great read on my boring Saturday afternoon.

Oh, Caroline's a cutie. That's for sure. *grins*

Thank you! And glad to know you'll read it even though Mark and Addison have had official closure.

(Oh. And on your last comment. Thank you so much for saying that I'm "the" Addison girl. That meant a whole lot.)

You are more than deserving of the title. I just try to picture the cutest kid I've ever seen and run with that.

Thanks!

Love Addison's return and her and Callie's time together. I like how both Mark and Callie are having a hard time and confiding in other people but don't know how to tell each other what they're thinking or feeling. The more I read this story the more I absolutely love it! Well done!
