"It's an Erzebirge Ark, an old one. I think Lillian must have kept it in the nursery. I found it in storage, in a box marked 'Julian'." Tess fingered a wooden dromedary and Chloe's stomach turned."

For that moment alone, I wish Chloe could rip Tess apart. Tess has to know how special Julian was to Lex and she's now playing with one of his old toys?! That is just sick.

I do love hearing Chloe's inner thoughts while she's in the midst of playing Kal and Tess.

My Tess is sick. She's very good at mimicking empathy but she doesn't actually experience it. And she's very, very focused on her goal.

Tess did not seem to have heard it, though. Instead she gave Chloe a sad smile. "No. He left that for us to do, didn't he?"


Sad, but true.

[latetothpartyhp]

Yes, very true. Maybe not quite true in the sense that Tess means it though.

// The only difference between Purgatory and Hell is the souls in Purgatory eventually get to leave, said the voice in her head that was remarkably like Lex's, calm and sure and only slightly impatient.

Oh fuck off, she told it, now being the only opportunity she would ever have to tell him that. //

I don't know why but I particularly like this part, something about this made me smile.

Again, wonderful chapter and I think I learned quite a bit more about Tess in this. Oy, I can't get over how much I love your style of writing. I was literally fangirl *squeee*-ing when I saw that you had updated!

Thanks for another great read!!

One of my little attempts to create Chlex in a story where they never share a scene. Sigh.

I'm happy to oblige with the update! This is my first multi-chapter story and its kinda kicking my butt (see note above). I hope you like AU Chlark, 'cuz that's next on the list.

[marija1991]

Well, you're doing a great job with it!

AU Chlark sounds good to me, I kinda can't wait. :)
Happy writing!

I'm hoping to post the first part this week for fanon_friday, and hopefully will be posting chapters alternatively for that and TLO every Friday this summer.

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Absolutely LOVED this chapter! I hope you will update soon!

[latetothpartyhp]

This is gonna sound weird, but that means SO MUCH. *BIG HUG* This chapter was hell to crank out. I think that's why I stopped writing it for awhile. I DO have a couple more chapters I'm working on, and I should have one posted by the end of the week.

[eternal_moonie]

Can't wait!
