Author's Response: GUH yes!!! And notice how Charlotte totally appreciated them and the meaning behind them? Unlike SOMEONE else we know *pointed look at Amelia* lol Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!!
God I love Trace in this...he reminds me of my best friend. He's amazing and I love his personality. He really cares and a true friend tells you when you've fucked up without sugar coating it. I liked how he was honest with Charlotte.
And, I agree with what everyone was saying about Amelia and Justin and their situation. I don't hate Ameila completely. I just wished she wasn't so uptight. I mean, does she even know that her soon to be husband is unhappy and slowly drifting while questioning himself about her and his present life? I felt bad when she brushed off the song he made for her. That was from the heart and her joy over the diamond earings made her seem so materialistic. I love how Charlotte makes Justin quesiton himself and really put his life into perspective but I'm a little worried about her. She needs to toughen up some. Sometimes, it feels like she doesn't really fit into the equation and other times I'm all for team Charltin. I honestly wish there was a way for everyone to be happy...can you make that happen? please? LOL.
God, when is this wedding going to happen? I'd hate it if Justin made it all the way to the alter and when it was his turn to say I do realization would hit and he'd realize he was in love with Charlotte or something. That would be...terrible. LOL But make for some good drama. I'd just like to get into Amelia's head and understand how she works and why she's the way she is even if now it's clear now that her Dad has a part to play in it.
I'm glad that everyone is seeing the connection that Justin and Charlotte share and I love how they're progressing but I'm still worried about how all of this will turn out. Anyway amazing update. I hope you're not ending this one anytime soon. This is one of my new favs and I always look forward to what you come up with next.
Love your writing Heather! I get sucked in every time! And every chapter is better than the last and leaves me wanting more. Gah. Speaking of...I need to check out those Skystin shorts too some time. :) Ok, I'm done with this longass review. lol Update soon!

Author's Response: Aw thank you! I'm glad you not only like the story but appreciate the writing as well! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
We've taken over the review section lol
Not a front per say ( I don't really know how to express it) but maybe like you said Justin was her escape/rebellion from her lifestyle ( a breath of fresh air, which she thought she wanted), but then realized/thinks had to revert to this Amelia in order to be successful. I don't want to burn her at the stake, yet I am team CharlStin and simply want to see Justin happy. Like "Trace" said he's himself with her and I just don't see Amelia changing her ways ( she's capable, we've seen flashes of old Amelia) and Justin has been through enough already.
O/T I totally see her saying she doesn't want kids latter on if they do get married.
Heather see what you've caused?! lol
Author's Response: I LOVE IT OMG!!!! I wish there was a better place to have discussions like this because I love hearing what everyone thinks about Amelia before she was with Justin and now that shes with him and how it effects their lives and the lives of everyone around them (Charlotte, Trace, Justin's fam, etc.) Thanks for taking the time to read, review, and DISCUSS!!! YAY!
DeadAndGone-- Amelia doesn't really strike me as a person who'd put on a front to get some guy's attention. Still, I don't think it was an easy change necessarily, quick maybe since they've only been together for a few years, but not easy. It just seems like (and I'm going by what Justin says about her when they first met) she used to be this upper crust girl who kinda saw Justin as a form of rebellion or escape in one way or another and between growing up and being caught between her past and her upbringing, her career, and their relationship, she kind of sobered up and hardened or just wised up to some kind of duty she thought she had.
Still, I totally hear you. Like I said, Amelia can be a bitch and I'm definitely not condoning her actions, but I'm not trying to burn her at the stake...yet. Especially since, as I said before, I'm not exactly Team Charlstin. loool
Author's Response: GUH YES!!!! I'm seriously loving this dialogue lol. Your thoughts on Amelia's past are pretty much dead on. We'll see more of it as the story progresses. Thank you for your thoughts and for reading and reviewing!!!
“If it’s not I’m gonna chuck it through their store window.”
LOL! Love it.
“You fuckin my best friend?”
Dude, I gasped and my mouth dropped open and my eyes bugged at at this line. lol. I love Trace in this story now.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome chapter. I absolutely adore Justin in this story. He makes me all giddy and such. You didn't come through with the nookie that I requested but I guess I can forgive you for that. Please update soon.
Author's Response: EEP YAY I'm glad you liked it! Fun fact: the line about chucking it through the store window was inspired from Usher's episode of cribs when he was talking about some ridiculously expensive table some guy talked him into buying and he said if he ever saw the table anywhere else he would throw it through the guys store window lol Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: GUH TRACE *cuddles him* You know the CD thing was tough for me to leave in. Mah poor wittle Fiance!J's super sweet gift just discarded on the floor *pets him* THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING BISH!!!!!!!!
justinzgirlkb I see what you're saying about Amelia, and she's one of my favorite characters as well ( she is unlike anything we have read), but her complete dismissal and lack of respect for Justin and his opinion makes me wonder if she was truly that woman Justin fell in love with. If she so easily changed into this hard and cold woman, was that carefree Amelia just a front? I understand the demands her career and the society she comes from places on her, but what she has done and continues to do goes beyond that. This is the man she'll be spending her life with ( hopefully Heather can change that *wink wink* ) and the family she is marrying into, and she treats them like they're beneath her. I feel that Justin has given up so much to be with her, and any relationship ( especially marriage) is a give and take, their relationship is completely one sided. While Justin is striving to keep the flame alive she does everything in her power to push him into the arms of Charlotte.
Author's Response: YAY DISCUSSION!!!! This is great! I love hearing your guys' thoughts! Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
Author's Response: *GASP* Justin and Charlotte can't get TOGETHER!!! he's engaged! *snigger* Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!
That said, I don't want it to seem like I think Amelia is perfect, because honesly, there are a bunch of things I don't like about her (how she treats Justin being #1--that scene with the cd and earrings nearly killed me, I was so embarrassed and sad for him), but I still really like her as a character--even to the point where I sort of want her to wake up and realize that a) she can't change Justin and shouldn't want to and b) she needs to stop taking him for granted and appreciate him again before he gets tired of it and leaves. So basically, I'm left with a dilemma. I like Charlie and so I wouldn't be upset about her and Justin getting together, but I'd be more interested in seeing if we can get the real Amelia back...or if there's even anything there to retrieve. Sorry this is so long, but yeah... I'm clearly getting into it! Update sooooon!
Author's Response: GUH I LOVE your thoughts on Amelia! I like that you're trying to see into her character as opposed to just what's on the surface and I'm REALLY glad you're getting into it. Making you guys think is always a goal and its such a pleasure to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
