Yay, I can leave the first comment again :-)) Just kidding, I live in Europe, so I get the alert probably ealier than your readers in the US... And you know, it just so nice, the spring has finally arrived here, I enjoy my first cup of coffee, and the atmosphere in your chapter mirrors the spring-y feeling I have

Eh, I put this chapter up around 6pm here, I just don't get many commenters. Oh well. This is a bit shorter, the rest aren't that much longer--between 4,000-5,000 words roughly.

RE: Tyler, he did tell Caroline he was leaving, so him being at the dance is her hope.

I wanted to parallel the two because it fit there, and yeah, to really get some of the unintended, but still there, hurt from Elena to Damon cleared. I'm glad that the overall feeling of it worked for you. Thank you so much for commenting. :)

Awesome!

Poor Stefan, so much denial :P Poor Caroline though, he's using her to get Elena jealous. But knowing you're a Stefan/Caroline shipper, it will turn around the good way :)

I love the friendship between Elena and Bonnie so much. A shame we haven't seen that much on the show itself lately. Amazing parallel, by the way.

Oh, Damon and Elena. They're so good for eachother. I love them so much. Great, the way you still had him wary of Elena's intentions. I do understand why people don't like Elena, I just find myself feeling for her. Poor girl, she's been through so much. Loved her finally going for it (thank you, Bonnie!).

Anyway, really good chapter (if it wasn't obvious already :P).

Thank you. :)

Eh, at least Caroline knows, and she's using him to make Tyler jealous, LOL! And yes I am definitely a Stefan/Caroline shipper. :)

Bonnie's been kinda separated from the rest a lot this season, but I get why story-wise. I always like the opportunity to play with the friendships in my story though.

I really liked how that final Damon/Elena scene came out so I like that others are enjoying it as well. I do differ from you in that I really don't understand why people don't like Elena, I feel so much for her.

Thank you again for commenting! :)

I'm pretty lazy about commenting. Sorry. But I absolutely adore this story. I've been following it for ages. Don't k ow why it's taken me so long to comment. I really love the way you've portrayed Damon in this story, it's spot on. Can't wait to read the last few chapters :)

[arabian]

I thank you for taking the time to comment now. :) I'm glad you enjoy my Damon and that you're enjoying the story overall. :D

Don't really have much to say on this one. Mostly just reveling in the cuteness of all involved. But since I've commented on every other chapter...it would be weird to ignore one. So yay for cuteness and dances!

[arabian]

Yay, cuteness. That's good. :)
