"Kat was dumbfounded at Denise’s admission. She thought that it would take more time for his mother to accept her and to put her concerns behind them." - That line pretty much summed up this chapter for me. Holy quick turn around on Denise's part!

Author's Response: I think Denise got tired of fighting with AJ about the whole situation and decided that he's a big boy now and needs to make his own decisions. She's trying to support him and needs to let him make his choice even if she doesn't agree with it.

Isn't AJ just a big-ol-softie in this story!?! I love it!

OMG - Nick and his stomach!! I like how you've set that up as a running joke throughout the entire story.

Author's Response: He really is. In my very first story, I made him not very likeable so I tried to give him a break here! Nick has to be the one to break up all the mushy moments, I don't think he can stand them. LOL

Well, everything seems to be going quite smoothly at the moment. I wonder what's going to happen at Thanksgiving dinner that will ruin all of the happiness. There I go being negative again ...

Author's Response: Sometimes you have to be negative, things are always positive!

Sometimes I feel as though I'm reading a script because your writing is so dialogue heavy. Don't take that comment in a bad way, though. It allows me to come to my own conclusions about what the characters are thinking (which I'm enjoying). After reading this story and reading your work on the most recent page (I haven't forgotten about that story by the way ... but if I read two AJ stories at the same time, I will get them confused - LOL), I can see the improvement especially in terms of detail and description. :)

Author's Response: I completely agree with you! I've run into the problem that I can see how the story plays out in my mind and when I write it, I tend to forget that everyone else can't see what's in my mind! LOL I'm glad that you started reading the recent one and I'm hoping that you find it to be more detailed and complete than my older ones.

Haha! - Totally called it with the Nick and Brenda hook-up. We'll see how long that lasts.

Also, AJ invites her for Thanksgiving and then makes her cook dinner?? I would be having NONE of that!! LOL

Author's Response: You called it! They were bound to wind up together considering how close the four of them have been. I think AJ truly wanted to cook for everyone but the thought of burned food or food poisoning may have put a damper on it! LOL

Your chapters often make me hungry! Now all I want to do is call my mom and tell her to make me some meatloaf! (I'm like Nick in the sense that I love to eat, but hate to cook. Although, I like to think that my cooking skills are a bit better than Nick's. :P)

Author's Response: Someone else made the same comment! I would put money on the fact that your cooking skills are better than Nick's!

Hmmmmmm could there be a secondary story line emerging with Brenda and Nick? :P The age difference shouldn't be that big of a deal ...

Author's Response: Maybe at some point...I don't think it's really the thing for Brenda, she's just afraid and using that as an excuse.

Ha! - I can totally see Nick being pretty useless in the kitchen. I saw this British morning show where Brian and Nick had to make some kind of breakfast dish. Brian actually looked like he had some skills, but Nick took like the entire time to cut up half an onion ...

Author's Response: OMG I wish I had seen that! I don't know Nick but I figured he was more of the let someone else cook type. LOL

Way to go Nick: "You look like crap" - Classy! LOL

That's too funny that you told Brian that you were "nice". :P

Author's Response: Somebody had to say it and he drew the short straw! LOL I seriously wish I could take that moment back!

The gift was cute! Nice work, AJ.

Author's Response: He tried hard for this one!

I would have opened the box! Hahaha!

Author's Response: Me too, it would have been far too tempting to leave it alone!

Brenda and Denise should get together and try to make AJ and Kat see some sense. I get that they clearly feel strongly for one another, but the idea that Kat is essentially throwing her whole life away is insanity!

Author's Response: Kat and AJ are so crazy about each other that the sensible things to do aren't working for them and I'm not sure anyone can make them see that.

Hmmmmm so she did decide to stay after all? I think they're rushing it ...

Author's Response: Rushing it is an understatement! LOL

Man oh man, AJ moves fast. I don't know if Kat is going to be able to give up her entire life for him. I have a feeling that things will be rocky no matter which option she chooses.

Author's Response: I don't think it can be easy either way. If she stays, she gives up her entire life back home and comes out to California in uncertainty and if she leaves, it creates a long distance relationship that may not work out.

Awwww it's nice that all of the other guys are so happy for them. LOL at Nick always thinking about his stomach.

Author's Response: Somebody has to break up the mushy, sappy and lovey dovey times and Nick does it well!
