N/P..!

Um, not yet .... honestly, I think the time I just spent figuring out the timeline of Corrine's pregnancy could have been better spent with Gideon/Eva sexy time counting. Soooooo

 

Chapter

5 - sex

18 - plane sex (oh baby)

19 - sex

20 - married sex in the office (so hot)

21 - nope

22 - sex

23 - end with a kiss that's going somewhere ....

 

So 14 out of 22 chapters.

Yes chapter 18 Oh Baby is right...! She took complete ownership of her man..!

I've been wondering why so many people are complaining about the cliffhanger ending. I didn't consider the ending a cliffhanger. I'm thinking perhaps people are concerned about Eva's trip to SD and that's why they consider it a cliffy? Do we really think that Eva would cheat on Gideon?

Yes I don't think it was a cliffhanger..! Eva will be fine in S.D her dad and husband will see to that..!! She won't cheat on him..!!

I went back over Eva/Gideon's timeline to figure out the timing for where Corrine's timing figured in ....

 

From the Monday evening that Eva and Gideon met in the Crossfire lobby to the Thursday evening that Entwined wrapped up, 59 days passed - about two months, -- eight and a half weeks.

 

"Four months pregnant" meaning in the fourth month could cover anything from the start of week 12 to the end of week 16. For this example, I'm going to go with the low end -- 12 weeks -- because Corrine, who was a slender woman, was not yet showing.

 

If these numbers work, then:

• Corrine would have been around 4-5 weeks along when Gideon met Eva. Corrine learned about Eva's existence on day 6 (the night of the advocacy center dinner, when Gideon talked to Corrine after the date-gone-badly was over.) It's possible she didn't yet know she was pregnant.
• It was day 17 that Corrine became desperate enough to crash the fundraiser where she started chasing Gideon in person in New York. So we're talking 6-7 weeks along, in her second month. Perhaps she did know by then, and that's why she threw all caution to the wind to try to get Gideon back as quickly as possible. This was around the time, too, if she became Dr. Anne Lucas' patient, so I'm actually going to give Corrine the benefit of the doubt.
• Day 28 is when Gideon started "dating" Corrine again. She's definitely 8+ weeks along now. She had to have known by then she was pregnant, I believe. If she knew exactly how far along she was, she knew she needed to seduce Gideon as soon as possible to trap him into marrying her while she was still pregnant, passing off the child as his and by the time the baby was born "too early" they'd already be married, and no way would Gideon throw her out to raise a child alone. .
• Somewhere between day 42 and 44 is when Gideon cut Corrine off. She was now in definitely somewhere into her third month, and having failed to seduce Gideon by now, it's already too late to simply get him into bed and then trick him that he'd knocked her up the very first time. She'd start showing soon, so there's no way he would buy her being newly-pregnant.
• Day 57 is when Corrine took the pills.

Yes...! This is true..!!

I think the business part was that Gideon was in one of his sexy-as-h e l l three-piece business suits when he brought Eva coffee in bed ....

 

But my vote is smokin' hot suit, smokin' hot coffee .... smokin' hot sex while Gideon was still dressed in that suit.

 

Oh it was soooooo clever. I remember thinking when I first saw snapshot 3, I speculated had something to do with the blueberry flavored coffee account Eva was working at the office. I never envision Full Mogul Mode Gideon serving a very n a k e d Eva coffee in bed.

Yes.. Your so good at detail..!!

Ok LN please help, I could understand the coffee after I read the chapter but it got me all the time that I was not getting the paper part of this clue, please someone explain, I just cannot get it

The business means when Gideon say " it's early but we need to talk" and then they talk about what's going to happen and something's that had happened..!!

Ladies I finally got my book!!!!!!!

Jesshhhhhh..!! Finally.!!! :)

I'm trying to get caught up on these threads from yesterday. Super busy with the last day of school yesterday. I was beginning to get discouraged and about to quit reading but I see now, that hopefully everything has been resolved. I love reading everyone thoughts and inputs. Y'all keep up the good work.

Yes I'll keep up the good work..!! don't get discouraged we're here for you..! The show must go on..!!

True! I still hate th fact that Eva is still leading Brett on... Now who knows what's going to happen in SD! I want Gideon to go with her but she may want to make the trip on her own with Cary.

If he don't go she won't go with only Cary..!!

i want a picture

I wonder if Arnoldo knew that Eva was back with Gideon

Maybe Gideon just told him to keep an eye on her..!!

Thanks ladies!! Who else thinks Gideon is going to go with with Eva to SD?? And if that was Ann Lucas how did she no Deanna even slept with him??

He used Deanne so Anne would leave him alone one night at an event.!

You must have smaller print in your book-mine's on pg.103

Hey-you need shoes to go with your smashing dress?

Nope it's the same page in the book.. I'm on the iPad right now..!! I have the book,the iPad,on my iPhone and audible..!!

Lol.. That's Mrs Eva Lauren Tramell Reyes Cross.. Aka Scarlett Johansson

Can someone tell me what chapter it is when Deanna is telling Eva about going to the hotel with Gideon "but we weren't even finished and he answered the phone in the middle and told me i could go."I feel like he didn't screw her, she was one he just wanted to get off..

Chapter 7 page 93

Book For Needs To Be Something From Gideon..!

@SylDay: Suggestions? “RT @Nd71Nicole: I am absolutely in love with the Crossfire characters! Can't wait until part 4!!! What will the title be?â€@SylDay: @JKs4me No, it's tacking Gideon's issues. Eva had 2.5 books to deal with hers and now it's Ace's turn.

Hi Ladies,

 

Well, this is my first post, finally!  I have been reading and thoroughly enjoying all your posts for months. Honestly this forum is what got me through the longggg wait for EWY, So thank you for that!  My husband is SOOO tired of hearing about Gideon, I think he might be a little jealous, LOL. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you and I appreciate all your thoughts, suggestions, dissections and theories!

Welcome

Does anyone know off the top of their heads how long the timeline is from book 1 to book 3?

I'm just trying to figure out if Corinne could have truly believed she could have convinced Gideon that he was the father of her child (if she did know she was pregnant).

Off the top of my head I think the books last approx 3 months so far. Corinne appeared a couple of weeks in, and if she knew she was pregnant, I would assume she would have to be at least 1 month into the pregnancy before returning to NY. If that's the case she needs to get Gideon into bed immediately if he's to believe the baby is his. However she delayed her return to NY because she was afraid of facing Gideon & Eva together - not the actions of someone with a deadline.

Even if she had managed to get Gideon into bed quickly and told him the baby was his, chances are he would have found out fairly quickly (certainly before she managed to get divorced and Gideon's ring on her finger) that actually she was a month or two further along than she was claiming & Giroux was the father ( Gideon strikes me as the type who would attend every ultrasound/scan)

Personally I'm not convinced she knew she was pregnant. Can a pregnant woman take anti-depressants? Would she have done so regardless of the consequences if she had known about the pregnancy?

Would she have attempted suicide as a manipulation tp get Gideon back, knowing she was pregnant?

Don't get me wrong I think she is a manipulative b**** and the sooner she ###### off the better. But I'm not convinced she knew of this pregnancy...

I think the between BTY and RIY and the end of EWY it covers just about 3 months..!

Do you know, the day Eva is sick, poor Gideon will be beside himself. Before she started her period in Reflected, after the Corinne nooner stunt, and when Victor found out about her abuse. Eva was upset, each time his response is, are you sick. He is worried about her well being to the point of being paranoid. He will never make old bones if he doesn't relax a little. I know he worries constantly, because she is his safe place.

Yes..! That's his <3

And I hope not Dr. Travis either!!

Dr Travis was in the picture longgggggg before Eva knew Gideon..!

How do we think Gideon should handle the situation with Corinne going forward? Should he visit her in the hospital? Cut off all contact and refuse to speak to her again?

Personally I think visiting her in hospital is another mixed message and she may believe (if her suicide attempt was to manipulate Gideon into coming back to her) that she has been successful. I think he should write her a letter making it quite clear that they are finished forever, explain to her how he feels about Eva. I dont think he should necessarily give it to her right away - maybe give it to her husband to pass on when he feels she is strong enough. But I think by not visiting her that should send a message in itself that he is done playing games and she needs to move on, deal with this mess she has created, without him.

Surely he's going to want to see her, I say this because once Eva (seeing that she does) puts the recents events into motion and steps backs too look at them she's going to say to Gideon "do you think Anne was Corrine's therapist" she going to knock some since into him and he too may realize that very possibility and that's going to make him want to see Corrine for that purpose..! But after that he should lay their friendship to rest..!

Ok although I think Clancy may have called in a favor from his FBI brother, has anyone else thought "what a coincidence the cops bring this bracelet thing up after victor left".?

I'm currently re-reading the book so the answer to this might be obvious!

But why did Gideon leave the day of video premiere? He knew the situation and that Eva had to pretend not to be with him so why did he get so angry?

Also I don't get how he wouldn't have seen the video beforehand when 1. He's part of Vidal records and 2. He already knew the song was about Eva?!

He left because Corrine call going postal..! And he said he didn't screen it as he didn't know at the time "golden" was written for Eva.!

And what the heck was the deal with Det. Graves telling Eva she should be thinking about the bracelet then telling her at Parker's studio the case is cold?!?!

She's #TeamGidEva now.! IMO

I'm seriously going to punch him out if he goes to see her again!!!

Lol..!

I thought the police might have said something though, they had the evidence. I didn't think Eva would say anything, to protect Gideon, but Cary is very astute sometimes.

Unless Cary asks I don't think anyone is going to tell him Nathan beat him up.!! As far as he thinks it has something to do with a chick "teaches me, don't stick you d##k in the wrong chick"

I think once the case goes away for good then they will tell him..! But for now.. What he don't know ain't going to kill him.!!
