I think Paul is actually trying to keep James and Clare together.

Surprised he wasn't a bigger jerk to jason

Well isn’t Mr. Martin the sneaky one. I have to say, I’m intrigued by what’s going on. I can’t tell if Paul is trying to get Clare to see what a fuck up James is so that she’ll go running to him or if he’s trying to help James realize what a fuck up he is so that he can fix it. I can’t wait to read what happens at the bar because i’m sure it’s going to be nothing short of a disaster.

Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
So either Paul is trying to save James' ass a little by helping himself at the same time. He knows that she's going to be upset/disappointed no matter how delusional James is and he's giving him a chance to make it up (even if he's too stupid to see that) and he gets her to have a little of fun and be happy and he gets to see her. OR he knows something is going to our James at the bar or something suspicious will happen. He'll still get to see her innocently and James will fuck up all on his own. Some girl is sure to come up and say something. He'll probably try to drop her home or get rid of her or something.

PLEASE update soon oh my god.

I really want her to get with Paul because he's way more deserving in hope that through the process of trying to get James to appreciate his wife, he falls for her and she leaves James. I'm a total Neal fan but he can't get away with that shut and still get the girl. Please update again soon!

I was hesitant to read about a jerk James but I actually love this story and I can't wait to see you update! This is also one of the best written fics I've read so far...update soon!? :)

Love it <3

Love this story and I love me some paul Martin. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Hopefully this will wake James up and make him realize what a dick he's being. Hopefully it will make him confess to Clare about what he did, and hopefully they can start over again. Great update.

Paul is right, and Sid better give him a talking-to before it gets worse

I definitely think Paul sent the flowers and James needs to wake up! He needs to realize what he is doing is wrong and realize how good he has it!! Clare don't deserve it!!! He needs to wake up before he loses her forever!!! I hope she finds out James didn't send them!!!

It was def. Paul that send the flowers...So looking forward to seeing what is going to happen with all three of them.

omg paul :)). him and claire need to hook up soon or james needs to clear up his act

Oh my bleeping GOD. James probably doesn't even know the location or number to a florist let alone send flowers for his wife who's pissed at
him. He has the mindset that he had to talk to her when he got back and he didn't do shit to get her on her good side. And flowers makes her "forget all the crap". Wow she's a woman wounded. Your stories always hit hard and I'm always frustrated with someone for a while, that's why they're so good!
Please update soon! I hope a text for Paul or she sees him and says did you like the flowers will be the breaking point for her.

James obviously didn't send the flowers and Paul should have put his name on them. He should have known James would capitalize and take credit. I really want her to start treating him the way he's treating her. Update soon!

PAUL DEFINITELY SENT THE FLOWERS OMG honestly I tried so hard to be sympathetic towards James in the beginning because I really felt that he was just lost and confused but seriously Clare deserves better and if she can't whip him in to shape she needs to move on!!!!! That being said, I hope he can change his ways. But I also hope that Clare finds out that James didn't send the flowers

James is a jerk!!!! Clare deserves so much better!!!

James is a jerk!!!! Clare deserves so much better!!!

I really love the direction this story is going, I hope to see lots of Paul and Clare moments too... :)

I really want her to start treating him the way he's been treating her. Then maybe he'll see what an ass he's being. Plus, I really want her to find someone that appreciates her. Please update soon!
