First I had to stop giggling from your notes. "excessive cringing" I'm guilty. Jarod as a doctor completely freaks me out. The docs on ER are just fine, even with the white lab coats...even labcoats coated in vomit and blood lol and with gloves on but I can't deal with Jarod as a doctor. My mind can't make that correct or normal. It's wrong for him to be a doctor, even on Days of our lives I can't deal with him as a doctor. He's so weird. Your end notes were hilarious too.  Everything in between was perfect. I love this story. The way you evolve these characters I love is so natural. Don't stop writing. I don't know what I'd do without a proper continue and you are the only one who gives me a proper continue. Keep going. Please!!

Awwww. Squeee.

Seriously I love it. I'm not big on poetry but you do it well as you do all things well.

Holy crap Mirage! You are on a roll darling! Keep going and going. I will never get tired of reading you.

Zina. You can't know how much I love her. But I don't think that you are Zina like the other reviewer said. Or are you? I can't peg you Mirage. And Mirage? An illusion and enigma. No real name. Your twitter name isn't real either. No pictures. Come on! I love your writing and I have no idea who you are or what you look like. I don't know where you are from. Toss a bone already! Ohhh, and I for one think Rachel SHOULD be mad. What the hell Jarod....

Oooh oohh! Mirage what a place to leave us! But I see you have another story up here so thank you thank you thank you thank you infinity. Great job! Post more. Hurry!!

I LOVE YOU!

"She'd left behind a loose end and it had just unraveled.  Unraveled."

"The gravel lot was bordered with wilted flowers that Rachel found eerily reminiscent to heads bowed—uniformly—in prayer Jarod had better be praying and was empty, save a black patrol truck."

"jogging beneath a sky that was the pale white of ash and pregnant with clouds the color of pewter"

You are a genius! And that's the second time you've had someone refer to Jarod  as a "prick" lol! Once in Nemesis and now here lol. You make me wonder if you hate him. It's still wonderful to read you. So refreshing that you haven't changed. Never stop writing for us. It's such a pleasure Mirage!

"Jarod's gone feral" lol! I love that. I can hear Miss Parker saying that so clearly. You nailed all of the characters. I'm totally almost shipping Miss Parker and Broots here even though his concern seems more brotherly than loverly. I can't help it. I think those two could hook up and make it work but I won't ask you to go there. I hope to see Jarod and Miss Parker in the same room or zip code soon. Please. Keep going Mirage. This fandom is DEAD without you. Lots of love to you and hugs. I hope you are a huggy lovely touchy person lol. Hugs!

Jarod's manic hair...lol..you have a clever and intelligent writing style and a way with words that seriously blows me away. I love this adventure...you are writing 5 different stories at the same time. I don't know how you are able to do that...but it's working for you and it's definitely working for me. Keep them coming. More stories. I love Mirage!

I've seen many writers try to merge profiler with pretender but you do it so brilliantly and keep each show with their own signature identity. Malone is real life is an actor I used to respect before he came out as a Trump supporter...JFC. Some people are just crazy, even the ones that act. You'd think they'd know better. This is an escape from politics...we hear so much of American politics here, and a good escape from life but still is very real life. You are such a good author. You always blow me away Mirage. I'm glad that Jarod has moved on from Rachel and I hope like many on twitter that you will give us some hurt/comfort in the next chapter. I'm also a little scared of what you might do next lol. You scare me Girl! I love it. Keep going and going. You're the best Pretender author and if you were writing something officially I'd buy it. Until that happens I'll be holding onto my hard earned dosh.

WOW! Just .... there are no words! It has to be Jarod because... ummmmm..... the 'hell of an understatement and all the 'may I?' kindness consent seeking sweetness. No one else could pull that off. I could see how the imposter could have been there and with the hotel/condo mix up... oh god Mirage please make it be Jarod.  But... she and Jarod have never.... but the way you brought them together and ... yes it has to be Jarod. It HAS to be him. Please.

I love how Thomas is honored here. She did really love him and was willing to give it all up for only Thomas so yes yes yes it would hard to have someone make love to her after Thomas. But yes yes yes Jarod would understand that he loves her like Thomas loved her because Jarod loves her and that's why Jarod sent her Thomas and he and Thomas are alike... not many material things, not being duped by her father's BS. Thomas was so like Jarod. I love that you realize how much Parker and Thomas loved each other and stay true to the original storyline and canon. Ohhhh thank you so very much Mirage for this, for all the stories, for continuing to breathe life into this old dear series.

F*ckin awesome mate. Really topnotch. More of this please?

I love the longer chapter and what a beautiful open to what has been a perfect return. I like the way Jarod and Parker communicate at times without saying what they're thinking, the writing, talking, communicating being more intimate than a physical relationship. She knew what he meant by his gaze and he knew she agreed by her body language. Oooh MIrage. Oh I do so love this.  The great unknown and the unknown meaning Cate not knowing where she was going and wanting to explore the new unknown places and all that Jarod and Broots don't know about Parker's childhood and life and another unknown the Whitman man that no one can identify. You always handle abuse accurately and sensitively. You are a paragon. Thank you from the whole of my heart for staying true to the story and true to the characters and continuing to write quality fiction. It's so rare.
