Hi EllenAngel,

Yes, I would love to wake up that way too! Jared is solid. He has known who and what he wanted since he met her. Payton was the one that really needed to let him in. So, they are finally on the same page, and will make a good team. Thanks for your reviews. 

What a nice interlude. I want to go!!! LOL

Waverly, Waverly, let daddy make his own decisions. It's his life, plus he's grown.

Brett needs to tell Cameron. Don't know how those pics got out if they were supposedly destroyed. Maybe someone in the FBI is connected to this?

Nice update Harlen.... Brett needs to come clean with Cameron, none of what happened wasn't her fault, she was violated, the longer she hides this, the more guilty she looks.

Waverly should see that Grace is into her father as much as Gavin is into Grace.

Payton needs to stop being afraid of the 'L' word and just tell Jared that she LOVES him.

Awesome update and well worth the wait! Payton and Jared are HOT!!! Love the playfulness in their relationship.  They can really get down with the lovin' now that Ming is out of the picture.  Love Wave as usual.  This made me laugh out loud:

They turned and continued up the steps to the house. Jared put his arm around Waverly’s shoulders. “I didn’t know you cared. You do have a heart. It may be black and rotting…but it’s in there.”

“I was looking out for Payton not you. I am sorry I didn’t get the opportunity to see you crash and burn. What is that smell….it smells like someone is whipped? Yes, that is what it is the smell of being whipped is in the air.”

What a nice little vacay for the gang.  Wish I was in the Bahamas! I'm a lot nervous about Brett and her nude photo scandal.  They need to hurry up and fix this or she needs to tell Cameron! Great update Harlen! :)

Great update Harlen. That first section of Grace's inner thoughts was just amazingly written.  You did an excellent job.  I'm glad Grace is trying to figure out who she is on her own apart from her husband.  Ethan may be trying but loving someone doesn't always mean you're the right thing for them. 

Well you know how I feel about Gavin's pursuit of Grace.  I think he honestly loves her but I can't get past the fact that not only does he pretend to be Ethan's best friend, he knows how vunerable Grace is right now.  The last thing she needs to deal with is his ill timed advances. 

Great chapter.  Very well done.

This was a great update Harlen! Grace is in a state of confusion and though I like Gavin, I don't think what he's doing with her is smart.  It's not like she and Ethan are divorced.  Ethan should have waited on her before he went crabbing.  Wasn't the point of the trip for him to try to get back in her good graces as much as he could?  I think Grace just needs to do her own thing and forget about the men in her life for a while.  That's just my two cents... for what it's worth! Awesome job! :)

Author's Response: Hi IDJ, Grace is in an awkward place of trying to find herself in this situation she has been thrown in. It has caused her to really examine herself. One thing I know is that you don't make good decisions from a place of hurt. Grace is getting a second chance at life from the perspective of a woman rather than a girl. Thanks for your feedback!

I'm not sure how I feel about Grace and Ethan reconciling. Kind of torn.

Brett really needs to come clean to Cameron about her past. Girlfriend knows that in politics nothing stays buried for long. She's just making things worse.

Looking forward to the next update!

Wonderful update! I really hope they can clear up Brett's nude picture scandal or that she tells Cameron before he finds out from someone else. I also really like that Ethan is swallowing his pride to try to work things out with Grace! Can't wait for the next update! :)

Author's Response:

Brett is consumed with fear which is dictating her actions and the blackmailer is feeding off of that.

Who knew Ethan could be humble? Thanks so much for your feedback.

Brett needs to come clean with Cameron and fast b4 she loses him.

Seems to me also that Ethan is just a little to late in seeing what a gem he had in Grace.

Great update! Payton was a disappointment at the end! Hopefully in the next chapter my girl come though!

Great update! Oh, Payton understandably has reservations about Jared but she does need to cut him some slack.  Dude is trying real hard to do right by her.  Quinn is wise beyond her years and it's nice that she was there to offer her big sis some advice.

Awesome update Harlen!

That's what I'm talking about. I'm so happy they worked things out. I wish I had a great guy that would just take me away from my everyday stressful life.

These two had a bump in the road..but they are off to a good start.

As far as the great guy...you never know what is right around the corner...life is funny that way.
