Oooh so Elizabeth's going back to Washington... what will happen at the BBQ? *ponders*

Evan is a really good guy and John is better for having him as a friend. He's right, they both have a gift when it comes to subtle interrogation. This chapter was very informative and I enjoyed how all the information was displayed. I can't wait to see what Liz's decision is going to be! ;)

Agh!!! And you had to end it there???? Please continue this soon, I really need to see them together again!

aww, he can't just leave like that and leave us hanging here! so please write more soon. :)

I loved the emotions displayed, especially the ones at the end of chapter 18. Backing it up a bit, it was nice to see Liz regain the closeness she had with JUlie before her break-up with John. She really did need the support of her best friend. As for John, I'm glad he finally came clean and it's a step in the positive direction. Wow, if he does follow through with the divorce then I hope Liz will give him another chance. I agree with Liz 100% though, I wouldn't want to be the Mistress of the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Great line btw! ^^ Until that divorce is final I don't see much hope for the two of them in the romance department, lol, or any department for that matter. I'm glad they talked though and could find closure. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Oh no you don't. Don't leave us hanging like that. Come on John, dump C and go after Elizabeth. Fight for her with gusto. Okay so hurry with next chapter....pretty please!!!!

I really like that "haunting"-part in the end. Great way to compare that kind of feeling John gives Liz, with the haunting of a ghost. Fits perfectly. :)

Ah, the plot definitely thickens. It would have been nice if Julie had recorded what Elizabeth said about John and played it for him. Maybe then he wouldn't give up and go after Elizabeth.
Please post again soon. This is good.

Please update soon! I had a feeling that they would meet at the Charity Ball. What happens next? it's so obvious that they miss each other like crazy!

Keep up this great fic!

Oooh cool idea, *runs off to read the rest*

Author's Response: I hope you enjoy the rest :)

Wow, I can't believe John Sheppard is such a cold, heartless bastard, lol. Married?! Poor Liz, they were so in love and he had to keep that kind of secret from her. Now she's devastated and I would be too! The biggest thing that he lost was her trust. That's going to take quite some time to gain back if he can at all. Although, it doesn't seem like he's trying to at all. Sure, he wants to talk to her, but what was with the "I won't force myself on you" comment? He should definitely make more of an effort to get in touch with her and explain himself. Even if he has to go all the way to New York! I mean, he really does love her that much, doesn't he? Then again, he is married, so who knows? I really feel bad for Liz! =( What he did was really low. On that topic though, didn't Lorne know he was married? He seemed to hint at it in his talk with Liz before but never came out and said it. He also seemed surprised that they weren't having a physical relationship at the time. Does that mean Sheppard cheats on his wife all the time and that the only reason he didn't sleep with Liz right away was b/c he was actually in love with her?? Seriously, if he does I don't see why he stayed married to her for four years. If I were Liz I wouldn't even consider taking him back until he divorced his wife. Why should she sell herself short by being his mistress? John Sheppard has a hell of a lot of explaining to do! Let's hope Liz gives him a chance to in the future cause I am dying to know what the hell is going through his head. Even if she doesn't, I hope we see what goes through his head next chapter. ^^ Keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to it!

Author's Response: Thank you for your review. I think some of your questions will be answered in the following chapters. John even gets the chance to explain himself at some point :) I'm glad you enjoyed it so far

What could possibly be a good reason for being married??!! Poor Elizabeth may be suffering but I can absolutely see why she is resolute in her decision and if John is upset - well he really should be the one to fix the problem since he's the one in the wrong!
