Love you for this as usual <333 This chapter's a TEASE though, I saw the length of the page and was like "OMG, LONG, DO WANT" and then realized it was long because there were so many comments XD But it was really nice to read before bed. I'm looking forward to more :)

awwww, I'm sorry for the decieving length, haha. Though for how many reviews I have? Not nearly as many as I've had before D: I hope people aren't losing interest... At least I know you're still reading :)

I looking forward to more too! The next one will be longer, promise!

After rereading it (because i heart this story) I noticed that I never commented!! D: (I could have sworn I did...)

WELL. I read it while in the car on the way home from vacation and my friends looked at me funny when I sort of squealed when I saw it. oops!

ANYWHO. I loved it as usual. I did LOVE LOVE LOVE the use of the title in this part. And I really just can not get enough of these two. I just want to hug them. :) I can't wait for the next part. As much as I wanted to read some Joe/Nabby sex-times, I like that they are taking it slow and fluffy :O)

oh and THANK YOU NABBY for talking to joe. kthxbi. :)

Okay, the first of this chapter is brilliant for the simple reason that we got a glimpse in Evgeni's mind.
How he saw/see's himself after the Avery thing. The disappointment that it took Joe to come along and help him and not help himself.
How much Joe means to him for not giving up on him when it seemed impossible. To how much he cares for Joe.

The dream: Can't describe how amazing put together that whole thing is. I mean, it's all nicely fitted and it flows together, makes so much sense and it's just... the best dream scene wrote yet.

It's real and lifelike because it shows what Evgeni isn't talking about. He's admitted what happened, talked a small part about it, but otherwise, he's still mum on the subject and even though he's getting better, he's still struggling with it. It's real and understandable.

The ending: Um yessssss. Finally letting Joe in, Evgeni, makes me sooo happy I could cry.
And it's not cheap, filled with useless words and reassurances, it's the only real (that seems to be my favorite word? haha, sorry) thing

Nabby is still in turmoil, don't let Joe's hopeful mind fool you. Although that Joe is even there in the first place makes his obliviousness okay :P

Really? That's so great to hear! I think on that note, this will be the last dream sequence for a while, until it's completely necessary of course.

Exactly! People just don't get over turning points in their lives, I'm so glad that this is conveyed, I've been worried that I've ignored past chapters to an extent, but at the same time, it's Evgeni who's thinking about it, not Joe. So that's my excuse lol? Bad excuse, I know.

One step at a time! And it only took 20something chapters. Thank you so much :) That's pretty much the best thing I could every get out of a review. That people could believe it. Ah, so fulfilling! So use 'real' all you want, I definitely don't mind!

I hope you have some more time soon, I absolutely love reading your reviews! Thank you so much :)

PROGRESS ROCKS.
:)
I just want to cuddle with them, except Nabs needs Joe, not me. Sadness.
Oh well. This is an amazing chapter nonetheless. I absolutely adore how much Evgeni trusts Joe now, and the last half of this chapter is my favorite. Please forgive my long winded rambling thing, i am exhausted. I just need to saw this is amazing.
Please update!!!
