I've often wondered about John's apparent and rather obvious love and longing for Paris, and I can't help to think that it had a lot to do with Paul and this trip. This story pictured very nice what could have happened, and what I certainly wish had happened.

About this chapter, I couldn't help but smile when Paul told John he loved him and how nonchalantly John tried to act, adorable. I also loved that they avoided each other for a week after they arrived back in Liverpool... I can see them doing that, completely! Like going back to their familiar territory reminded them that it shouldn't happen anymore, and probably made them think that hey had done what they did because Paris worked its magic on them, you know, blame it on Paris, the city of love! ... And the phone sex! "worst phone sex ever" LOL crap! I'd love to read exactly how that went, even if I'm cracking up half the time! (I really thought they were going to have phone sex again, I have to admit that I'm glad they didn't

I pretty much loved every minute of this fic. And your ending is perfect. I guess I'd rather not know what happened next and end on a hopeful note than risk being disappointed that it didn't work out. In my head, it worked out. :)

"I think I love you, John." Oh Paul. (sniffle).

Lovely ending. Happy possibles are much better than reality, at least in the case of our two star-crossed lovers.

Paris. Something major happened there for John, for sure. And I suspect it was very much to do with Paul. I like your version of what that was.

I have a thing for any fanfic that reference Paris, and I loved the way you fleshed out the story and the happy ending. Best friends indeed.

Loved it. I know I didn't leave a review but I love this kind of fics of the pre Beatles era.
