So I'm here in my living room, listening intently for any movement from Grandma in the next room -- she's sleeping -- and I've finally worked up the nerve to read the rest of this...
It's amazing?? I love Rye! :)
And as usual, I love all of your little details that you add in -- the spreading of laundry over random furniture, the watching of snow, the glitter in the fan letter... That was hinting at the title, right? I'm definitely assuming so...
I'm having an interesting time with that chapter though -- I can't figure it out. Annie and the fan letter that was never revealed... Then Alyce (Tammy?) and her... intensity. The fact that there was apparently a lot of foreshadowing in the chapter that I really missed... I even went back to read over the Annie and Alyce parts and I couldn't figure it out...
Maybe I'm just incredibly dense. XD
Anyway, this was really good! :) And I might just be getting over my fear of... babies. And the like. (Very nearly got Raina pregnant here in the end... had to cut that idea because of medication complications.)
I feel like a terrible reader because it takes me forever to read and comment, but i'm just so busy. I adored that chapter, and how sweat it was of Bill to see Lily. xD I hope you update again soon, and after i post this comment I'm heading off to read Bluebird. xD
Oh God. I just read the entirety of Glitter in the Air, which was so good, by the way... But then I had to click over to this... Which is also good, I'm sure - don't get me wrong...
But yeah, I read the first chapter and part of the second... but I had to stop because I was too terrified to go on... I'm sorry!! T____T But I think I'm too completely scared of having kids myself to go on without mentally preparing myself... I hope someday I will have the strength to read this....
And now, after having said all of that, I feel like a complete utter wimp.
Talk to you later. :) Hopefully when I do type to you again, I will not have lost all of my dignity writing wimpy comments like this... -_____- Oh well.
Technically the twins (or octuplets!) will be dual citizens no matter where they're born through jus sanguinis. http://germany.usembassy.gov/acs/dual_nationality/
I know because I went on a mission to find out whether or not i was a dual citizen a couple of months ago. :D
Soooo... TWO THINGS! 1; I really super doooper LOVED this chapter. That is like the sweetest thing ever to do. I love that he came and surprised her. It is just sooo sweet. It really makes me wish guys were actually like that. I guess I haven't found the right country yet huh? lol.
I loved this chapter, you got a real, clear view form what Lilly really thought. And i also love that the story is near Christmas time, and it's near Christmas time in reality. xD I feel bad for Cara, but at the same time, yea Lilly had sex and got pregnant, what 19 year old doesn't have sex? It's like her family expects that because Lilly is a model, she has to perfect on the inside too, when in reality, they most likely aren't. BUT that is just my input! Hope you update again soon!
i am SO happy you updated. This is such a wonderful little gift. :) I dont understand. I understand shes young, buther life is so different from a regular 19 year old. She also has money to support herself for the rest of her life as well as her twins. Shes also doing a very mature thing by giving the babies up for adoption. Also, why didn't Lily tell Alyce that shes giving the babies up for adoption? That she is thinking this through.
I love seeing Rydan. :D Why did she have a connecting flight in Prague. I'm pretty sure that is she left from Frankfurt she could have flown straight to JFK.
