First off-So terribly sorry for the long wait in updates! I got a new computer, then had to return it-it has been one @#!$% of an odyssey trying to get myself back on line!!! So…until I recover all of my work, I will

A couple quick comments on this chapter before I move on to the next (goody, goody!) I love the angel costume idea: She's definitely Tony's guardian angel in a lot of ways! Now will he go as a devil, I wonder?

Neat introspection for Pepper, finally realizing that Tony has changed, and that the flirting has more significance and meaning behind it than previously.

And I love how you've made the perfume something that carries along some aspects of the plot! You know how hard it was to find this thing? I have 12 more at the mansion for you. Tony's never one to do things by half, is he?! *laugh*

(P.S. One minor typo to point out: In the 19th paragraph (when Pepper starts mulling over the changes in Tony) you use "diffuse some other dangerous situation." I think you mean "defuse" as in disarming a bomb. Perfume "diffuses" into the air.)

You know, I had that thought in mind (the guardian angel thing) just AFTER i posted!! im totally using it in the second half though...

are you reading my mind!?! freaky!
thanks for the defuse diffuse thing--totally got it! i like to put a few in there every now and then to keep you on your toes!

Nice!! He does seem the type that would hunt up a rarity like that, and then go into overkill...great insights!
