Hmm. I wasn't sure about Noreen and Shannon being against each other, but it does bring up the option for Noreen to "rescue" Chris back to her place.

I really hope Noreen remembers Chris. In my opinion she was the star of this story. Loved every moment with her. Perhaps, Noreen will wake up and rush to Shannon quickly since she is very fit.

I found it hilarious that Noreen fainted. Especially since she told Chris that he can tell her anything. You would think she would be ready for it, but I guess not. Maybe Noreen might have a wet dream about Chris in her underwear and she will find new ideas for Chris. (I'm still open for naughty Noreen.)

Quite a surprising chapter. I can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response: I had to think long and hard about the outcome of this chapter. I’ve had lots of suggestions about how the story should go and they ended up in three camps: suggestions I like and choose to use; suggestions I don’t like and won’t use; and suggestions I like, but don’t want to use. Obviously, if I receive suggestion that I like and want to use, I’ll put it in the story, but if I receive a suggestion that I don’t like, I won’t use it. But the third category is a little tricky: what if I like the suggestions, but don’t include them because they could change the outcome of the story. Several of yours and others have fallen into his category, and I’d hate for them to go to waste. So I came to a decision: if there’s a suggestion that I really like to use, If I can’t put it into the main story, maybe I can put them into a side story, not with different characters, but as different outcomes. Sort of like an alternate universe thing. I’m going to call them “addendums” or “alternate scenarios” and the First one I’ll do at some point will be “what if Noreen hadn’t fainted?” These will be tie-along stories that will be linked to the main story somehow, possibly with different overall story outcomes. The problem with the Noreen encounter was if Chris is discovered right now, it would change the direction/outcome of my plans for the story. I’m sure you’ll understand when the story is finished. Thank you so much for your reviews and suggestions; I want you to know that I take them all under serious consideration!
