So glad you're going to tackle Part II. I'm patiently waiting. :-)

this was a wonderful story and i felt so wrapped up in the lives of cass and jamison.  i look forward to part II.  take your time but no matter how long....i know it's going to be good.

True talent brings forth emotions in others and you are talented.

I can't wait for the next installment, but I can only imagine how much writing such realistic characters takes out of you, so when you're ready to continue the story of these people, I'll be here to enjoy.

Yeah!! Can't wiat!

This was a great story.  I really appreciate it.  I can't see where you would go with those two now.  They have such a deeply rooted love hate relationship.  I think this story proves that there really is a thin line between love and hate.  Kudos honey! kudos to you!

Just read author's notes...I knew it!!! Can't wait!!! 

Loved this story...It can't be over!!! I so wanted Jamie, Cass and Ella(Dimples) as a family in the end. Oh well.

You did a great job with this story.

Great Story.  Thanks for sharing.  I was a bit put off at first with Cassie's 'until they accept' part.  I wanted to slap her myself.  My only care is Ella.  More to love her.  How lucky can one little girl be?

There's more there's more definitely to the story listen to you muse girl the muse knows. :D

Great story....it aint over yet though.

Thanks.

OMG!!! This was such an awesome story with a beautiful ending. I had tears im my eyes when i read the last chapter.

I am SO proud of Cassie for finally growing up and be a good mommy to that precious child of hers. I love that she is so independent emotionally. she no lomger seeks validation from her parents or the men in her life. The fact that she has Mia and Jamie's parents to help does not take away from her independence. We all need friends and parent figures in our lives no matter how independent we are. I am glad she did not shut out the people who actually help her become a better person.

I am happy Jamie has agood relationship with his daughter. I am also glad he is getting help with his anger issues. I wouldn't want him hurting Ella. As for Octavia, she is a better woman than iam. I would not have forgiven Jamie. So i hope he will not disappoint her again.

I think its a good thing Mason moved away. It gave Jamie a chance to get to know his daughter. I hope he moves on wiyh his life and have kids of his own. He still sees Ella on the holidays right? I think that is enough.

I am so disappointed with Cass's parents. I hope they eventually come around for Ella's sake.

Shuold you do a sequel? YES, YES YES. Im not sure i want Cass and Jamie back together though. I want Cass to be truly happy. So whatever man you chose for her must truly deserve the woman Cass has become.

Mira, the story was awesome. Girl you are a great talent. I look forward to reading more from you.

I LOVE it! You know there has to be more to story, so i don't know who your fooling ;) I loved the pacing of it,you had guessing to see if Jamison was in the picture or not. Very realistic to see eveything is not wrapped up with a big shiny bow. Well done! I'm a sucker for happy endings so on to the next part. Keep up the FANTASTIC writing!...

I enjoyed this story so much -- a great read. I hope that you will continue with the story and let us know what happens next. There was so much unfinished business in that last scene! Thank you!

I'd love if you'd continue...call me greedy...but this is too good to let go...

But if not...I've got to tell you this was one hell of a ride...the resolution...though not entirely expected...probably is the best thing for Ella's sake...hate Mason can't put aside his feelings of bitterness for Cass to realize that Ella still needs him in her life...his relationship with her, Ella, is separate from the disillusionment of his marriage...I'm proud that Jamison stepped up to the plate for Ella and he does have the capacity to love someone besides himself...maybe through her he'll learn how to treat women with more respect...I hope he realizes he would never want any man to treat his daughter as he has treated her mother and his wife...I'll be blunt here...Octavia is a fool...there's no way in hell that I'd still be wearing Jamison's ring and allowing his faithless ass back in my bed...especially not after he disrespected me and our marriage by bringing another woman...his ex he can't seem to get over feigning for...into our into our new apartment and screwing her brains out with no thought of me or the vows we took...she must be some kind of woman to forgive something like that...I don't know if I could be so generous and mature about that situation...I was so surprised to read that they were still together and she's seems to be sharing a nice relationship with Ella...though that innocent child is not the blame for the selfishness and callousness of her parents and their destructive relationship...

I'm so happy for Tricia and Jimmy getting a chance to know their granddaughter...especially Tricia...Ella's one lucky little girl to have someone like Tricia in her life...

I give up trying to understand or even sympathize with Hayden and Lynn...they are both beneath contempt...but they're doing what they do best...ignoring their daughter and dismissing her feelings at a time when she needs them the most...Cass is right...they don't deserve to have her or Ella in their lives...one of the best decisions she's ever made...

But more than anything...I'm so proud of Cass...finally she's taken ownership of her life...she's taken back her power and discovering who she is and she's putting the most important person in her life ahead of everyone...her daughter...and whether she knows it or not...she's empowering Ella to become the strong woman she was always intended to be...good for her for recognizing just how destructive she and Jamison are for each other...love shouldn't cause pain and uncertainty and make you feel as if you have to give up who you are to be someone else for the one you love...they accept you as you are...the constant push and pull and the physical violence when things go wrong and the blatant disrespect should be clear indication that what you're experiencing is not love...but obsession...sick obsession...glad she's taking the time to grow as a person...she's learning to love Cass and that's always a good thing...

I'm most impressed with your story...it was an awesome read...you have skills girl...and I'll be only the lookout if you want to gift us with another of your little gems...

Two thumbs all the way up...you did soooooo good girl!!!!
