    mmm naked Tiergan.

    Sorry. :p

    Why is Tara out walking in the woods in heels?  That struck me as odd.  I know all too well what happens when you walk for any amount of time/distance in heels and it ain’t pretty, so no woman in her right mind would be taking a hike in them.

    Other than that I really like this installment . . . got a chuckle at “doggy love.”

  2. Hmm, I thought I’d been a bit clearer, but, apparently, only in my mind.  Tiergan’s family lives in a city.  This will get more coverage, don’t worry.  Their house backs onto a large, mostly forested ravine on either side of a small river.  When he first notices Tara, she’s not in the park — she’s north of it, in the town.  She braves a gravel path in heels to come to see him.  Which, no doubt, proves that I’ve never worn heels.  Doh. 

    But, I will . . . not . . . rewrite . . . it!

    On that note, I’m actually quite perturbed by just how much the tone shifted from ep to ep, at first.  Faolan’s mood seems to jump for no reason, and Teirgan’s behaviour seems equally arbitrary, at times.  But I think I’m starting to hit my stride with him.  I hope.  These last two eps do seem a little more comfortable, anyway.  Of course, in two weeks, I’ll probably be whining about these two eps as out of place.  :-)  Time will tell.

    Hooked, yep.  Must return every day to read the new installment :D

    I didn’t see any of the problems that you describe.

    But then, I never do XP

    The heels are not described – just heels – could be any kind – there are low heels as well as high.  I often walk in woods wearing 2″ cube heels.

    OMG! This writing has touched me . . . Love the present tense . . . Love the economy . . . Can smell Cormac’s rancour . . . Tiergan seems way older than his years . . . Maybe I’ll know why later . . . Love it . . . This is wonderful clipped writing . . . So glad I found it/you . . . Now I’m only on this page . . . Do I have to return or can you send updates to email address . . . So untechno, sorry . . . Either way I’ll be back . . . How can you be so dissatisfied . . . Crap question . . . Genius at work.

  7. Hi Showeda,

    Thanks for reading and commenting.  It’s always nice to hear from a new reader.  :-)

    And if Tiergan seems way older than his years, it’s because he has a bad writer.  ;-)

    Anyway, I’m afraid you do have to come back here to read more — either bookmark your last page, or remember the part number you were on and type it into the box on the story home page and hit enter.

    Again, thanks for commenting — I appreciate it.

    Chris.
