Oh Sara that was wonderful. I love things from Mark's point of view, and this was just great. I like the beginning, how he can't seem to believe that it's his life. ♥

Thank you.

Oh dear. I liked this so much I almost can't even stand it.
Plus, it's a welcome distraction from this stressful football game. YES INTERCEPTION! Ok I'm done. The fic.

So, when you first started A Posteriori I would've sworn this would be part of that. And then I completely forgot about this one.

Favorite line: “Okay, you were right. I should’ve worn a coat.”
I wish I had some meaningful, eloquent comments but...I got nothing. I think I am so fond of this one because I'm SUCH a daddy's girl, and I think I've lived this scene several times.
he hides the photo album and tries to look nonchalantly interested in the old issue of Newsweek when he hears the slam of a car door and footsteps run up the driveway.
Dad, is that you?

ANYWAY. This goes to the top of my list.

Uhm, it was supposed to go in there, actually. :\

My dad's like that too. And as much as I tease him about it, I really appreciate it.

♥ Thanks.

I appreciate it and I miss it.

As much as I bitched in high school, coming home at 10:00 and having my dad already in bed is just wrong. Even though he's probably lying there awake, watching Dr. Who, with his phone in his hand and his headset in his ear. Just not the same.

This made me smile a lot, which is probably the highest compliment I can give you at the moment.

The second paragraph was beautiful and Mark flipping through their family albums was so adorable. I like that the sentiments are felt more than vocalized, and that Mark is that kind of dad even though he is still convinced that every move he makes and word he says contains the potential to screw up his kids.

This was always one of my favorites of yours during our series, and I'm really glad you explanded it. The world needs more Mark/Addison at the moment. Lovely job.

Thank you, Calla. And the world will get more Addison/Mark, seeing as everything else refuses to write itself right now. :)

This was great. I always enjoy reading fics that show the kind of man Mark could become and make it believable.

“Okay, you were right. I should’ve worn a coat.”

“Well, that’s a first.”

“You being right?” She grins and tucks her hair behind her ear as she bends down to untie her sneakers.

“No,” he crosses his arms smugly, “that happens all the time. You admitting it.”

That entire exchange is just so perfectly father/daugther.
