I'm already wishing I could be a fly on the wall at Chris' house while he and Hank are holed up there with no supervision. I see it being a little...tense? And I have to say, I didn't even think of it at first, but I think it's going to be interesting to see Annie get to know the others with Chris removed from the equation. I feel like Annie and Nathan have a bit of a connection, but it's still early to tell. I'm looking forward to seeing if she clicks with any of the guys for friendship. I love all the comments the others keep making about how loyal Chris is, and how he wouldn't let anything happen to someone under his watch and how that just doesn't quite square with Annie's experiences with him. (I don't know or remember the backstory between Annie and Chris, so I can't remember what specifically led her to be doubtful of his willingness to protect her or Hank).

I'm also looking forward to finding out what the situation is with Mary and Chris. If they had a bit of romance and it didn't work out? If he was so closed off they never progressed to romance? Or there was never any interest on either part other than friendship?

Is it terrible that I'm so excited for Annie to get out to Chris' place, though? I cannot wait for some tense interactions between her and Chris.

Oh what? Matthew's BROTHERS? I did not see that coming at all. A whole group willing to hunt Annue down and bring her back to Matthew? Well, now I'm more than a little nervous, since that's not something Chris (or Annie) can take on by themselves. But of course you know I'm not at all going to be complaining about the necessity of the other guys having to be involved.
I just love the tension you wrote between Buck and Hank. It's one of thd best things about Buck, he seems to get along with everyone, but if there's someone he doesn't get along with, he does not hide it!
And I have to confess, the part of this chapter that I loved the most was the part you just hinted at, but didn't write. When Nathan knows about Matthew, and she knows it's because Chris told him? Well, I can just imagine Chris' expression and succinct summary when he filled Nathan in (as well as what Chris is thinking about Matthew), and I can't lie, I'm so looking forward to you delivering on the little hint you teased us with about Chris' thoughts on Matthew and how he treats Annie (as alluded to by Nathan hinting at Chris' concern for her).

If you didn't write another word of this story after this, I would be content to just revel in this chapter. (Please keep writing, I wouldn't really be content!) The sort of comfort and history that Chris and Annie have with one another, is so perfect. They don't act like BFFs obviously, and they don't act like strangers, you just hit this perfect balance (as always- so much perfect balancing going on in all your stories).
That Annie is so willing to keep sacrificing herself for Hank is so sad, but says a lot about her character. And when Chris sees that she will, and that Hank's the reason she got shot, I can't imagine he will take it lightly, especially since he doesn't like Hank.
I also really liked the insight into Chris' thoughts , how his barriers were described, etc. It was beautifully written as you described Chris.

I'm really enjoying this story!
I'm glad someone finally decided to write a book with Chris as the Love Interest.
Keep up the great work!

You know how much I love a good, angsty chapter. And how much I love OCs and one of the guys being thrown into proximity with one another. And how much I love your writing. So this was just a trifecta of a chapter. I love Chris being surprised by Annie and am sooooo looking forward to seeing his POV with this blast from the (painful) past showing up. I'm surprised at how much I REALLY want to know the backstory about Chris and Annie. If they got along while Chris and Sarah were married, if Chris knew anything about Annie's husband, etc, etc.
Does it make me a terrible person to hope you have some more chapters that just can't wait to be written and force their way out during your work week? It does? I'm ok with that if it means more chapters. :)

Well this was a fun little surprise! More than just fun! You know I'll never be disappointed at you starting a new story and this one is so set up to be FANTASTIC. I can't stand it, I'm so excited to see where it goes. I mean, you had me in your story description (someone collapsing in the saloon and needing the 7 to help her. Let me think about tha- YESSSS.) And the opening chapter DID NOT DISAPPOINT. (Your upcoming stretch at work, during which your stories are orphans, that disappoints :) )
I like this mix of Anabelle being content with her circumstances and making the most of her situation, without being a martyr or a sad sack. I feel like that's a hard characters to write (I also feel like I've said this about another one or two of your OCs?) but you have such a nice balance struck in her personality. And the mix of compassion for Hank, and toughness where she won't let memories of Sarah pull her under is also a perfect blend. I REALLY like this OC and I am not at all content to wait to see her meet (or reacquaint, as the case may be) with Chris.
