loved it!

Oh. O. Ohh.

I be speechless.

Oh mmmyy god. I love this already. I can always tell with the first words that a book will be freaking amazing and I was right. This chapter is hot already and so brilliantly written. I love it.

I met someone in real life yesterday who is also a Pretender fan and he recommended you and this novella and I just loled because I already have this and you  in my favorites 😂 and I was like yeah I know Mirage rules. He agreed. This is hot and smutty and also has serious elements and plot and hope. It's wonderful and I love it.

Bravo! I love how you open in an emergency room waiting and then show the doubt Jarod begins to feel and why. You explain things perfectly and don't get bogged down in the details. It's a fine line and you are a high wire walker I guess because you don't cross the line into too many details.

I like how you gave us details of the weekend, and transitioned beautifully between scenes, present and past. Nick found them at a pretty low point after both of them were remembering the past and suffering from the Centre's crimes. and still upset about Sydne. That was an excellent choice that allowed Nick to think they were just upset for Sydney and nothing else was going on there.

You've implied all along that there has been a deep relationship between Sydney and his family, Parker let it slip to Jarod that Nicholas knew about Parker and Sydney's closeless, because they're all close. Michele gave Parker love and comfort and they are really familiar with each other and Parker is used to letting them fuss over her because she didn't object and wasn't strong enough at the time, and then Sydney said everyone he loves is in the same room so that means Jarod has been seeing Sydney, Michele, and Nicholas too. But they kept the gatherings separate. I want to know more about those relationships and if Sydney thought Parker avoided Jarod because of the Centre or some other reason. Did they like have two separate birthday parties and stuff, one for Jarod to attend and one for Parker to attend, or, what? You said 6 faces so that means Broots and Debbie were there? Does that mean gatherings involved Broots and Debbie, too? I want to know more about the relationships and how deep they all are.

Gotta say, the "certain activity" was amazing and I'm glad the people you let read this asked for dirty details but this wasn't dirty. It was nice and loving, it was really sweet and tastefully written and you stun me Mirage. I like that Parker instigated the oral sex and I love their funny conversations, and flirting. It's amazing. I also like that the weekend of oral sex followed years of communication and bonding and Jarod trying to understand her, and he's Jarod so yeah, he does put a positive spin on everything. He's so hopeful.

So brilliant job as always and thanks for being you and being here and ... just thanks. :)

Omg why do I want them to get married now? Hell of a twist and Parker seems to have come around to Jared's way of thinking after what he said in the previous episode.

I'm excited for more!

Pretender perfect!  I love the concept and your deep exploration and how you bring it all to life. Magic!

Scribblet? lol. Hardly! This is heavily profound! There is so much passion and pain and story in this tiny short short. It's a work of magic and I'm grateful that you share your amazing talent with us. I'm always blown off my feet by you. Thank you for keeping the dream alive.

Bravo! Super excited for the next chapter. Thank you so much for continuing to write and share. :) 💞 �

Holy wow amazeballs Mirage. More please?

Oh how I love this..if I count the ways but there are so many. I love how Jarod changed his tone. He's always had a soft spot for Parker. You create these perfect portraits with your writing and really capture the characters. I agree with twisted. You should have written the novels. Please keep writing for us!

I was hoping Jarod would say ,by the way let's get you out of the center too.  Was ss intense as I'd hoped and imagined.

A second 💋👄💋💋💋💋💋😘! My heart has so much joy! Thank you for this! You're the best!

Merry holidays!!
