First off, I want to thank you for writing this. I don't think you ever planned to show Zach's POV - hell, I don't think you ever planned to write Chris's second part - and I personally know how hard it is sometimes to "write for the readers", especially when the germ of the idea wasn't organic but rather "planted" by other's wishes and desires. (not sure that makes sense)
But you did such a terrific job. Don't get me wrong, I still think Zach stinks a bit for what he's done - but I'm a Pine!girl at heart and will almost always take Chris's side, so that's to be expected. *smirk* I really like the way you made Zach tune into himself to see what went wrong after realizing it really wasn't all Chris that caused their problems. I hate that Chris has lost some of his spontaneity (?sp) but truly feel he will get that back once he realizes there isn't a scorecard keeping track of "taking" & "giving" in a relationship...that the only score that matters is being together at the end of the day and being in love with each other.
*sigh* Thank you for sharing this story (and introducing me to K. Clarkson). I've enjoyed it more than these words can express.
