*waves back* Thanks for the answer - and I love the ending, so I'm kind of glad the story got away from you a little bit, lol. But I know what you mean by posting a work in progress - I keep doing this with my long fics and have sadly more or less abandoned my Outsiders story. And Jack and Bobby are currently stranded in Iowa, but I'll figure that one out ... I hope,lol.

Their ages are so hard to figure out. The movie gives clues, but it also leaves so much open to interpretation - we have a thread on the Garrett board I run about their ages and I have to go double check it whenever I write a one shot so that I can refresh my memory. I made Jack eleven when he gets to Evelyn, but I also tried not to give him "the worst childhood ever!!" like so many authors do. Seriously, his poor backstory becomes such a parody sometimes.

Oh, and I totally gave Angel an awesome hairstyle and sharp suit for his prom in one of my stories, lol.
