I love this. More more there has to be more. Please keep going please write quickly I need more!

Oomfph! So much emotion, energy, action, sorrow, fear, and comedy. First Pearl Jam! Love them! Darkness meeting dawn is always how I describe Jarod and Parker, both are dark at times. Tragedy strikes so fast and unexpected sometimes just like this. Everything is fine and then everything is not. The next line of that song is 'makes me ache  makes me shake is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?' which is what Parker does. She goes with the gib to defend Jarod in case the shooters come back and puts proper on his wound. stacking the shirt on the jacket  is exactly right. You don't remove anything. You keep adding layers. Very vivid and accurate with his blood rising between her fingers !

Scary to read. Like being there. Please continue. You're writing is simply amazing .

Oh loving miss p 💕 "a cop *AND* a dad" 

This is exquisite.

I know Jarod is ok. 

You wouldn't kill the leading man again!

Would you?

Was reading again. "God in triplicate" 😂 😂 😆 😆 

Jarod. So funny. So sexy.

!

Oldies? Oh, boy, I'm feeling my age now!  I remember listening to that Jefferson Airplane song. The oldies back then were 50s music. Things sure changed.

You kids are right. The music I grew up with is now the oldies, golden oldies though. I'd never heard of LP before you. Emily and Cate were singing along to LP your The Return series. You must really like that singer! Springsteen again. You also mentioned him in Oblivion. I'm paying attention.

I love the inclusion of music always. I'm liking LP a lot. I watched her perform Lost On You, live, acoustic and bare bones. My GOD!! Amazing voice. Thank you for introducing me to them or... I'm unsure of their pronouns. 

Fabulous chapter.  You continue to outdo yourself.

I miss social distancing too sometimes, like Parker.

I still mask for the simple reason that people are obnoxiously unclean and seem to be proud of not covering coughs and sneezes like they think they're 'owning the libs ' by being unhygienic or something. I want them to know I'm a liberal and not a supporter of Epstein's buddy the spray tan rapist grabber. Also, allergies and wildfire smoke are a pain. The mask helps. 

Now please tell me you aren't killing Jarod again?

You realize he's the star of the series don't you? 

Kill the star and the series dies?

Parker will be even more devastated.

I'll read anyway of course. You always surprise and satisfy me.

More please? 

Until next time Mirage, 

Ciao!

I respectfully agree with Stella. Parker should appreciate the oldies. How do YOU feel about those two songs? How do you even know of those songs?

You're young, probably my favorite author. You're still young though. How old are you? 

I'm so curious.

You're so private and anonymous. 

This is a solid, magnificent addition to a solid and magnificent story. You're moving the plot forward at a beautiful pace, and I'm greedy for more.

Bravo!

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Lol "something that doesn't trigger my gag reflex."

Miracles is all about sex just like Afternoon deDAMNlight.

So did you first discover those songs in a doctor's office waiting room, a dentist office waiting room or on Supernatural when Castiel played it on the jukebox for his meeting with Crowley?

You are way too young to know those songs.

Do you like any of the songs you included?

Please don't kill Jarod again.

I love this story, it has everything, action, comedy, trauma, love.

It shows exactly how fast a perfect day can turn for the worst .

😨 😨 😳 😱😮 Jarod ☠�💀👻?

🌹 

Rose!

Oomph! Jarod face to face with the consequences of his actions. Parker can't leave him and he should understand that.She never really resolved the Thomas trauma either. It's loss after loss she's lived through.

I'm so glad you're addressing all of this. There's so much to explore. The original tv story and plot left so much unanswered and I can't thank you enough for your thorough exploration.

I am sat here sobbing reading her reaction, first her laughing while sobbing and calling herself pathetic and then her "no, no, shut up, I'm not leaving" 

So emotional and evocative, a beautiful chapter beautifully told and  written .

Thank you for sharing your talents.

Oh yay Mirage in da house!!

Parker and Stella's friendship is literally goals.

"You have just had sex hair"
"I wonder if it's because I just had sex"
Lol.
Perfect!

Jarod is ok. I know Jarod is ok!!
You are not... definitely NOT...about to kill Jarod, not AGAIN!!

More, baby!
You da best!

Impressive. You complete the Pretender puzzle. Ahh nostalgia.. It's like watching a Pretender episode .

Perfectionism.

Bravo rose!

OMG 😱 you are evil for that Cliff hangar! 

I KNOW you aren't killing Jarod AGAIN??!!!!! 😭 

With that out of the way, AMAZING writing, beautifull seamless transitions.

I love Stella!! I know someone who sings like that, out of nowhere. 😂

She's a fierce supporter and brutally honest. So much like Parker.

That friendship is solid.

Did you learn about Afternoon delight and Miracles in a dentist waiting room? you're too young to know that music .

Kd Lang is amazing. That's a perfect declaration of love song. To just need air and the person at your side? Amazing!!  I knew everyone but LP.

Went to YouTube and uh huhhh. That song blew me away ! "If it's gone too far when it's gone too far then it's gone too far to be gone

If it's what I want and it's what you want, if it's what we want then it's on  oo oh oh "

I mean damn.

Parker's wanting social distancing back 😂 😂 😆 🤣 🤣 🤣 

This is solid.

I knew it would be traumatic for Parker if something happened to jarod again. They talked about this. His mum told Parker about his work injuries.

Will this make her end it all with him?

I can understand.

Either way I'm reading it. 

The writing is so smooth and beautiful. I feel like I'm there, not just reading. 

Transportive writing.

ðŸ˜� 

Ooh my chemical romance. Damn that's dark tho. Do you like all of this music?
