Thanks LN forgot about those ones

That is really good

Question for everyone, i posted it in the other sub folder as well by mistake  I re-read chapter 1 again last night and some of the wording kept jumping out at me as if I had read it before, not just in this chapter then I looked at the snippets and snapshots, did anyone else notice  Snippet #3 is actually from Chapter 2 - "Honestly, Gideon Cross has been designed to f*** a woman right out of her mind" Snippet #2 I think goes with Snapshot 2 - Christmas present opened "Waking up to you is like... presents on Christmas morning" Snippet #6&7 I think have to go with Snapshot 9 Snippet#9 is also from Chapter 2  not sure if anyone else agrees with me but these were my thoughts last nightÂ

I agree Caroline but I am slowly getting one of my friends to read Crossfire, she is slowly getting there and has just passed the first outing with Gideon and Eva in BTY but I have told her it does get so much better so fingers crossed she will finish soon but I love coming in here, only with the time delay, me being in the UK I am now catching up with everything that was written while I was asleep, at work of course, no point in not catching up here, it is Friday and I am a boss so I can get away with it so far LOL

I agree with you there JLS, Gideon may have his faults but I don't think he would deliberately lead Corrine on knowing she would be hurt at the end and I think he would have been honest with her about his feelings for Eva, how Corrine dealt with that is anyones guess

I wondered if Gideon has bought the house in NC after they both loved being there

Hi SScrph  I re-read the snippets last night and the snapshots and I wondered if with Gideon asking Eva to come home to him was his way of saying they had moved in together, I know that sounds really quick but why else would you refer to your home as their home.

I am hoping to go over next September to LA as we are doing a fly drive from LA to meet up with family in Florida and I am hoping to see Hubby to see if we can go to NYC first for a couple of days. Â Does anyone else know where else they have shops. Â I also saw one on the Tiffany site, slightly more expensive though

thanks LN, I get it now, sorry like I said, head is not with it this afternoon, just thought I had missed something LOL

Oh I would love the one with the pave diamonds on it and it would be in my size, the lucky thing is I can only wear Silver or Platinum and as my hubby will not buy me platinum I get silver so this would be ideal, must ask for early christmas present lol

Hi LN, sorry bit late in the day here in the UK and at work so head not making much sense when reading LOL (when does it ever), I am not getting the bit you put about the Engagement Ring, can you explain to me please  thanks

Thanks for the timeline LN, makes sense

Not sure if Fathers Day is appropriate for white roses, I have squinted and squinted at the message, you can see the Happy Clearly but there are 2 other words and I wondered if it was Eva sending Gideon flowers as in BTY where she bombarded him with flowers, maybe it is his birthday?

Hey Julie  I think deep down Gideon knew he had to be cruel to Eva as it was the only way he could stay away, I got the impression when he caught her in the lift giving back her the ring he got her and asking her to wait, he knew he was hurting her, he could probably see it in her face and eyes and it was tearing him apart and that is why the only way he could convince Eva that he was hurting too and missing her was to give her the ring back and ask her to wait, also in Chapter 1 when he began to cry all his pent up emotion of how he was feeling was released as he must have been going through torture all the time waiting to be with her and seeing how she would react. :0

I never read anything about that, but I am new to the site and was not on from yesterday afternoon so now going through catch up, I always thought Monica and Stanton probably had the meeting with Gideon at Gideon's home when Eva called him from the hospital and she heard muffled voices from his home and then she hung up. Â I still think it was Monica, Stanton probably Clancy and Angus all there to discuss Nathan so I would not be surprised if they are all linked to the murder.

lol

Morning LN, I agree with both what you and Julie have written

Thanks LN

I am with you there, we all know Gideon has been emotionally draining on Eva and we all know why he connected again with Corrine but to deliberately hurt her by being physical with Corrine I am not sure if I could respect him if that ever happened, I would want better for Eva she has been through enough. Â He may have to kiss Corrine to keep the pretence up but hopefully it stopped there, like he said in Chapter 1, he missed Eva so much and cannot survive without her "I can survive anything if I have you". Â I think it also cemented the emotion Gideon felt for Eva when he started to cry while making love, he must have been so scared that he would never be with her again and that was probably crushing him emotionally, I don't think he has ever loved anyone as hard as he loves Eva.Â

I hope not really, I can understand that Cary would believe Brett would make her happy but as Eva has said before she does not want the groupie lifestyle and surely Cary would see that Eva sitting in NYC while Brett was out on the road would not be a good thing for Eva, her insecurities would come out and she would be jeleous of any other girl that was in contact with Brett, Cary knows how jeleous she can get. Â I can understand Cary being glad that Eva is not with Gideon but surely Cary is not deaf or blind and will hear Eva back with Gideon if you know what I mean afterall when he was laid up after the attack in the house he asked Eva what vitamins Gideon took to keep that stamina up so he obviously can hear what is going on and as we all know neither Eva or Gideon are that quiet. Â I think Cary will be happy when he observes Eva being happy, I just hope he doesn't push the Brett thing too much, it may backfire in his face.

I hope not Kirsten, like you said Gideon went mental with Eva kissing Brett, would he be that cruel in kissing Corrine?

I can understand that Corrine is going to be left with nothing and that will probably hurt her and yes she hurt Gideon when she left him and got married but Gideon will have to tread carefully there as she could be another Woman Scorned if he does things the wrong way. Â He has manipulated Eva's feelings for a long time really since meeting with her and I think he is that kind of guy who likes control in everything but it may have worked with previous relationships but I don't believed he thought for one moment that Eva would slap him or walk out on him or even dump him like she did at the time of the murder and he was in the police station. Â I think he got a real shock there and even a taste of his own medicine to feel the amount of pain it caused him with Eva saying she was done, just like the pain he is causing her. Â Gideon needs to be very careful if he wants to win Eva back, it cannot be all about the sex, there has to be some opening up as well on his side, he needs to talk to her more and not control her as he does and not take her for a silly girl that does not have the knowledge to deal with things, like Eva has staid time and time again "she is stronger than everyone thinks!", yes she has been through a lot and I think that has helped. Â I was bulled emotionally and physically when I was young by my brother and I know how it strengthens you so that it never happens again so I am hoping Eva will still grow in strength and Gideon will see this but it will also take note that he cannot manipulate her anymore and he needs to be honest and talk to her not keep shutting her out as if he keeps doing that he will lose her forever. Â my thoughts .............

Hi Kirsten  I don't think Gideon will be cruel to Corrine, she has afterall been his aliby and he must appreciate that, I do think though he probably made it clear to Corrine at the beginning that nothing will really happen in the relationship like Marriage as he would probably said to her he does not want that and I actually think he has probably made it clear that he does not a sexual relationship with her either.  I also think that Corrine knows this that is why when Eva turned up at Corrine's flat and Corrine was all mussed up Corrine had another man in the appartment but tried to make Eva think it was Gideon, even though we all know Gideon would not cheat on Eva.
