That was an amazing story. I love how everything worked out for the two of them. Oh, and by the by. I loved the part where you talked about Angel's hair taking a long time to get ready. I love Angel to pieces, but seriously - how much gel does he use?

Thanks so much for the story and congrats on all of the nominations, you most certainly deserve them.

That was an INCREDIBLE story! You are truly a wonderful writer. Although I completly blame you for not letting me get any work done until I finished your story. :-)

There is no possible way that I could tell you all of my appreciation for your hard work and dedication to this fic. Congrats on a job more than well done.

I think you should change the names of the characters and then go on to professionally publish this piece. It could stand alone and I'm sure you'd be on the best seller's list in no time. It is truly an amazing story and I cannot wait for the sequel.

Thank You sooooooo much for writing this. I look forward to more of your work in the future.

My God, am I sobbing or what? That was so sad. I really shouldn't let these fics get to me like this, but my goodness, that was sad. It was a great story....but sad. Is there a possibility of a sequel? You know - the one where the Powers see her pain and send him back and she admits to loving him and will never ever let him go. I'm stop now. Great job on bringing the tears.

Author's Response: A sequel? mmh...I´ll think about it lol. Thank you so much and btw: never meant to make you sob :-) *hugs*
