Ahh I love this so much. There was so much going on in this chapter I don't even know where to start bowing down to you ;-) Niko to the rescue! I can't tell you how much I loved that he came in at such a bad time. It creates angst, how could I not love it? I think it's really necessary for him to see this side of her, whether or not it's easy, because relationships are about the good and the bad... and the bad has angst. Niko's reaction to seeing her like this was excellent. He is also a very controlled person, so even that much rage showing really spoke volumes. You did a really beautiful job with Promise (once again) and you showed her emotions so vividly. I love how the whole thing lead to Cal comforting her, because it really shows their relationship and how things are easier now after the incident in the RV. I guess being trapped in a cave with someone for a week is quite a bonding experience ;-) Last but not least (and I'm sure I'm leaving out a bajillion things still) I freaking adore the conversation that led to Niko saying that Cal comes first. I totally called that one haha. Yay brotherly love! *Draws hearts*. EEK, iTunes just finished downloading the S3 premiere (perfect timing!) so I'm off to spoil myself a day early :-D Seriously, someone hide the caffeine... Anyways, awesome job! I'm so glad I got into these books.
