though it wasnt the best way to do it i thought nick would be a little more pleased with her finally admitting her love in a way. so glad you udated. cant wait for more!
Author's Response: Yeah, she didn't totally do it, now did she? Nick wasn't pleased at all, but he is burying it and taking it for what it was...a step. There is so much more to come, Mary. I sense that you have been displeased with what is happening here lately and you will probably continue to be, but hang in there! You have been one of my most loyal readers and reviewers since I began writing this story and I really appreciate it!

Yay they are finally opening up to each other! I love that you make Quinn so voluernable in this chapter and Nick so imperfect in this chapter. I am so so so so happy you updated! I have been waiting forever. I am sorry to hear aout our wisdom teeth that really hurts lol. Hope to get more soon. I really hope that they work it out and get together!
Author's Response: Something is definitely happening here! Quinn is very vulnerable, very transparent and scared to death. She doesn't know how to handle any of this or what to do to make it better. Nick doesn't really either...and he is a mess in his own way here. She is moving toward him, he is starting to move away from her but keeps getting drawn back in. There is so much more to come here, thanks for the little "push" you gave me earlier this week. Much much more to come, stay turned!!!

I miss your updates! When can we expect a new one? Thanks!
Author's Response: Hi Paula...I apologize for the lack of updates. I had fully intended to have something ready before my oral surgery last week but things got really hectic and I didn't have time to write. I have been having some complications from my surgery and am under the weather. I hope to update soon, so sorry for the delay. Hang tight, it will come!

Do my eyes deceive me? Ms. Quinn has put her Big Girl pants on. Yay!!
And Yay! for Nick not going down the usual path of destruction. They both seem to be slowly growing...in the right direction for once. But, as with all dramas, I'm sure this story still has a few potholes to drive around yet. Looking forward to it!
Author's Response:
Shocking I know...but our girl is finally making an effort here and being a big girl! I'm surprised that everyone is saying "yay" for Nick...he technically still "cheated" on Quinn, and has been actively trying to be with another woman, as recently as the evening before she showed up in her hotel. Will her being there stop him? Most likely...however, if this is how he deals with things, what is going to happen the next time something doesn't go his way? Something to consider :o)
More to come, hang tight...and yes, there will be potholes! Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Awsome job can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you! So glad you liked it...more to come!
Date: 05/23/09 07:20 am Title: Chapter 43: Going the Distance
OMG!!! More soon!!!!!! yay for Quinn taking that first leap!!!
Author's Response: It was definitely a huge leap for her, probably the grandest gesture she has made in this story. If just making herself go was that tough, imagine how hard it is going to be for her to open up! Big stuff coming!

OOOO Hurry up with the next!! I wanna see how this "talk" goes!! I'm so excited! Great chapter...it's good to see Quinn FINALLY taking a chance....chasing HIM for a change! Hurry!!!
Author's Response: I will do my best to get the next one out soon! This is going to be a major talk...and Quinn is going to have to do a lot of the talking. It's funny with the chasing, when I was writing this chapter I kept thinking about that column from earlier in the story about the thrill of the chase...seemed appropriate here! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I will do my best to keep the updates coming!

*Wipes away a tear*
I'm so proud of Quinn!!!! The fact that she FINALLY went to him is amazing! Granted they haven't talked anything out yet, but it's still a step in the right direction!
I love Riley, I wish I had a Riley in my life. I'm really happy that Quinn listened to Riley and took the plunge by just going to Germany. Riley is right; Quinn needed to fix this situation this time, however Nick isn't going unnoticed here. He does need to talk to Quinn, just as much as she needs to talk to him. They both need to sit down and have a heart to heart talk. Get their fears,hopes,dreams & emotions out to each other.
This is going to sound weird but I like how you wrote Nick trying to hook up with different women. The fact that he actually couldn't do it was sweet, in a way. That shows that yes he really does love Quinn and that no matter if its sober or not he can't cheat on her. I just hope that Quinn doesn't go crazy on him and make it worse, lol. Although, if you want to get technical she does still have Jake around....
Anyway I was so so so happy to see that you updated, I check back here everyday to see if you or tatinlinteaser have updated. I am excited to see what direction you are going to take with this story and if you do a sequel you can guarantee I'll read that too! Good luck and update soon!

Author's Response:
YAY Quinn! This is a HUGE deal and I'm glad that you realize what it means! Things are tough and she is in fighting form, which is not how she usually reacts to things. Nick on the other hand, not so much. He is reverting back to his self-destructive way of coping and it isn't working. How ironic that AJ was calling Nick out on all of it just as he walked in to find Quinn sitting in the lobby of his hotel? Definitely something worth mulling over...Quinn stepping up, Nick stepping back.
I adore Riley too, she is probably my favorite character to write because in a way, both her and AJ act as Nick and Quinn's consciences in this story...they say the things they can't admit or say themselves. Quinn was already thinking everything Riley had said, just her saying it made it real. Quinn tends to create her own story so to speak and once it is out there, in words (not her writing) it becomes real.
To tell you the truth, I was really surprised that I updated as well. I hadn't written a word in 2 1/2 weeks and I got inspired late Wednesday afternoon and wrote a scene, then wrote the other two yesterday...this chapter came out really easily and took practically no time for me to write. It also came out very differently than I had planned and I think it is a much more important chapter than it was intended to be initially.
We don't have too many more chapters here, but what is left is going to be jammed with stuff...so buckle your seatbelt. I have toyed with the idea of another Nick/Quinn story, and quite honestly, you may really need one once Casual is said and done. After all, you are very correct in the fact that Jake is "technically" still around...
