It's funny that you would love (O_o) Olive, even for that! But it's really true. It's because of her that Nervous is safe, even if she had the worst possible intentions. Once Nervous sweats off the withdrawal he's going through, he can final start the long road to recovery.

Oh, Buck. *smile* I'm glad you love him so much. He's a really special sort of guy. So nice, but yet... notice that he does get a little feel of Jill's bare leg in there during that final scene on the couch. *grin* I love Buck, but I suppose that's completely obvious. Nobody who knows Buck well would want to hurt him, so let's hope that they don't manage to do it anyhow.

Yeah, it's really sad. Ripp doesn't really "know" since the graves are unmarked, but he did get a feeling about it. Ripp pushes his sadness away, and generally doesn't deal with it (until it all comes crashing down on him).

Thank you. :) Glad to hear it.
