Author’s Notes: When I first started this story, I planned for it to just be a short three to five part story, but it just kept growing and growing. I decided to try a different angle with the theme, and I think in the end I wound up including some of the other themes mentioned. I tried really hard with the writing style of this story by using more descriptions and less dialogue. I hope everyone else enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

This. Was. Awesome. The characters are so well drawn, and the story complex. You see so many different aspects of the situation, and of the characters - an amazing piece of work.
Wonderful as always, Brittney. This was a really great story. You approached a really delicate situation very well and I loved watching Zac’s progression out of his funk and back into his true self.
Wow. Like Nat, I lied the transformation from completely broken to fixed. And even when she showed back up and had the chance to break him all over again, he dealt with it just fine.
man, your writing is so great. I am so jealous but so happy that I get to read all that you have for us!
I enjoyed this!
It’s difficult to write about a subject like this but I like how you didn’t fix everything right away because it’s something it takes a lot of time to deal with.
And the ending was good too because finding out the reason Kate left made him feel a little better and taking things slow with his new “friend” is good too since he just got divorced.
Aww that was great Brits
I finally finished this, and I absolutely loved it!! There are so many parts I want to quote that I just loved, but I’d be quoting a lot. lol This was just so great.
I like how you incorporated your three things, and getting to read about Zac and Aubrey’s friendship and how it progressed…awesome!
I wasn’t expecting the ending with Kate, but damn, talk about one hell of a twist.
Awesome, awesome job!
This story is sooo good! And even though this piece is more about Zac, I found myself loving Audrey, one more of your heroines. It´s not a Brittney story if there´s not a good strong female character.
My guess is that is a reflexion from the author. This thing is so good that doesn´t even looks like a challenge story, like sometimes things are a bit forced just to match the musts. And I love the outcome, so didn´t see it coming.
Keep rockin`
