The snow has lightly dotted their blonde curls, while the cold has flushed their cheeks several shades darker than their blush had even thought about.

I really, really love the fantastic way you have of describing this. Actually, I loved the description throughout this chapter (and the whole fic), though that sentence is my favorite.

Very, very interesting, Claire's journey, the use of various characters from the island, the different settings, the conclusion. I enjoyed reading this. :)

Also, Happy New Year to you, too!

I was feeling rather descriptive when I wrote this since I was actually sitting there waiting for the ball to drop on TV so it felt very...real to me at the time.

Anyway, I'm very glad you liked this! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate it.

Hope you have a great 2008!

Well, see I'm a Claire/Sawyer shipper 90% of the time, so this was always my plan.

The thing that I myself love about New York City is that you can disappear. It's a big city and there are A LOT of people. That's why a lot of celebs end up there instead of Los Angeles; they don't get recognized. For someone who wants to start over, that's perfect in a sense.

I'm really glad you liked this! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

This was excellent. A smart, rational, steady Claire, who finally only has herself to think about it and doing that pretty well, despite everything. I see her doing okay in the future. Loved the moment with Sawyer on the balconey and how she took control in kissing and leaving him. I really enjoyed this series.

[slybrunette]

I thought about him kissing her, because you know Sawyer, he would be the one to make the first move. But this was about Claire, about her independence, about doing what she wanted and not really thinking about reprecussions. About starting anew. So she had to make the first move for it to feel right.

I'm really glad you liked this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

“I always wanted to do that.”

Of course she did. Claire, you dirty girl. Of course I doubt anyone on that island would disagree ;)

I loved this ending. Great job on the whole series!

Thanks hun! I'm glad you liked it!

A gorgeous ending to this fic! Your descriptions in the section (reall, through the whole thing) are wonderful. You have a way of making images vividly clear in only a few words.

And I loved the image at the end of Claire disappearing back into the crowd - she's found herself and her identity and lost that other little girl. A perfect fic for New Years :-)

Aw thanks! I haven't really written this way in awhile (series format, with it just being one scene) so it was a nice change for me. I think that's when I can really get my descriptions going.

New Years...is to me a chance to wipe the slate clean, to start over and forget the what if's and all the things that when wrong. That was what I wanted her to do.

Thanks so much for reading/reviewing! I really appreciate it!
