So, so desperate! :(

I don't blame Tom and Anna at all for needing that comfort. It shows to me exactly how much Tom needs it in that he was with Anna even though he was a little disappointed he looked down on the dance floor and saw her, and not Yvonne. Sad...very, very sad. Still, I'm glad they could be there for each other.

And Bill is so considerate and strong, it is amazing. He must need the comfort as much as Yvonne, but perhaps he really does think that if he doesn't do all the wonderful things he wants to do, he really will have a reason to come home. It's too bad that sometimes things aren't meant to go the way you plan them. I feel the worst for Yvonne. She needs that comfort just as much as the other three, is desperate for it, begs for it, and Bill refuses to give it. I know she understands, in her head, but I think her heart might not understand, and it's going to absolutely break her heart to pieces when he doesn't come back, that she missed that. The closer we get, the more it hurts.

Lovely chapter. I promise not to get used to the sex, though it was quite nice; you wrote it well.

I look forward to the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: Haha! I love a good sex-scene myself and I can tell you already that there will be a few more... After all, Yvonne can't stay a virgin forever, can she ;-)

Thanks for your lovely review.

The look at the end ... *sigh* Yes. :)

The banter is SO cute, I adore them in their innocence. You did a wonderful job of changing that happy playfulness into scared sadness in an instant. Great job!

Author's Response: It's how I imagine them to be in real life.

I do try my best to give it a realistic touch: we too balance constantly between laughing and crying but just like in this chapter, you can never escape reality for long.

As always: much love for your review!

wow.... i seriously cried reading this chapter. u are such an amazing writer!!!! god that was beautiful!!

Author's Response: *hands out tissue*

Thank you very much for your nice comment!

Bill is so beautifully sincere, you can't help but adore that he wants the best for Yvonne. In the meantime, I want to hug Tom so hard!

The dream was kinda surreal and creepy, and if I was Tom, I wouldn't want to fall back to sleep, either.

Lovely chapter, as always. :)

Author's Response: He really could use a hug!

*hugs with* :-)

Aw man. *huggles Tom*

I enjoyed the chapter, as always. Is this all written out already? It seems things are slower now, and I wonder if there is a reason. Of course you don't want to change what is essential to the story; the vibe of the time, the relationship between the twins and the girls. Maybe I'm just used to everything moving quicker.

Still, yes, good chapter, and Tom's gonna end up breaking my heart. :(

Author's Response: You're very perceptive. Things are a bit slower but that's because I feel I need to lay out a few things before the drama really takes off.

And, I admit, really Bad things are coming their way. So, maybe, I'm putting it off a bit by giving them some last worry-free times.

Thanks for the review!

That was a beautiful video, lovely song, but I think it's not the song you meant to post. I've just gone and listened to several versions of "Ne me quitte pas", and wow...that song has such a heartbreaking tone. It's not something I would have ever listened to otherwise, so I thank you.

This chapter was a tiny vignette of their feelings; their growing love, their fear, their desperation. Lovely, though quite short on story, and so I await more. You update rather quickly, so I know it won't be long. b29;

Author's Response: I've doubted long which video to embed but in the end I've chosen to give the talented Ronny some exposure in the hope that if someone was really intrigued by Jacques Brel's version, they would find it on their own!

And, I realise that there wasn't much story-wise but I thought the story could use just a small resting pause from all intense drama that happened in the last two chapters.

I'm still experimenting a bit, this is actually my second story (and the first one is still not finished), so I'm still dabbling around a bit. It looked challenging to me, to use a song to give a bit more insight in Yvonne's feelings at the moment of her first kiss.

But the next chapters will continue again with the plot and the heartbreak :-)

And, I really, really like your reviews. There always thoughtful and always consist something that I can use. So, thank you!

Dear heavens, this was wonderful! Okay, I get it about Tom. I hadn't figured out the looks, guess I was a little slow. But now I get it. And oh, the pain for him, and the pain for Yvonne...and Bill. Girl, you've got quite a plot going, and it's quite yummy.

This: She readied herself for the fall but before her body could hit the ground she was lifted by a pair of gentle hands. was beautiful. Not everyone can write such a simple sentence and make it mean so much to the story.

I WISH this story got more attention. I think the het and character death scares them off, but the writing is SO very good. You really deserve much more appreciation than you're getting.

Another wonderful job, of course. As always, eager for more. :)

Author's Response: This review made me so happy because it's wonderful to see that there are readers who pick up on little things of this story. rnrnAnd you really made me blush with your compliments about my writing. Thank you so very much! <3

Oh how a loathe war...ruins everything...good work! ^^

Author's Response: Oh, sadly this is a story in a war-setting and it will cause much drama.. O_O rnrn

Aw, I'm sorry I missed this last night. I think you updated right about the time I had to go to bed.

I LOVED the bickering between Bill and Yvonne, and it was wonderful to have it set up the way you did, two conversations, mostly the same, in two places. You did it very well!

I'm a little confused about the looks and hints of feelings toward Bill by Tom, because this isn't twincest. But now that I think about it, Yvonne was with Tom, right? I should just shush and get on to the next chapter. This was great :)

Author's Response: It's indeed not twincest but I hope the next chapters will make Tom's true feelings a bit more clear... As always, thank you for your nice words!

I really do like this story :3 I find it quite melancholy the narrator's depression; it makes one feel sad D: Anyway, I love your writing. Please, update soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad you picked up on the melancholy because it is rather bittersweet. I'm glad you're enjoying this and thank you for your nice comments!
