First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

 I think the whole thing with Sydney is some type of act. She had to know that Trace was stealing moVey from Justin, heck she probaly put him up to it since he did it before. IF she really wanted to provide for Kristy she'd take any job - and slapping her daughter just because she wanted to stay and play - that's uncalled for. I forgot about the cocaine... *gasp* Abbey could be on to something, WHAT IF Sydney WAS somehow using Trace to steal money from Justin - nah that could't be what's going on. So Abbey finally said those 3 words -- hope it doesnt scare Justin away.

Happy Birthday Love!  I hope you enjoyed yourself today and thank you for thinking of others (us) on your most special day; that was really thoughtful of you.

These last couple chapters have been a rollercoaster of drama but you were right, it didn't go the way I thought it would have.  And I had the sneaking suspicion that there was more to this whole Trace stealing thing than I originally thought.  That damn Sydney!  I hope she gets it (like really gets it).  I'm glad that Abbey admitted that she loves him and I know he loves her, he wouldn't be so terrified of her leaving if he didn't.  Just admit it and move on dude. LOL!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, going through a personal tragedy right now but we're hanging in there.  To see you've been updating regularly has been a real treat for me.  These chapters are awesome and you're amazing as usual.
