Thanks so much, friend! Your comments give me life! =D

Thanks so much, Shyphoenix_1130! Hope you enjoy! ((o(^^)o))<3

Hello, tangerine_boy! (^^) Ahhh, we'll have to wait and see, won't we, hehe~ XD I'm really excited for it, though. You see, I established what they are to one another earlier in the book, which was a slow period. Now, it's go time! Things are about to get real! Can't wait for everyone to read it! =D And thank YOU for supporting Crystal Stitches! I hope you have a fantastic day, friend! =)

Hello there, tangerine_boy! (^^) Haha, you're more than entitled to your allotted-ugly-crying time! XD

Hello, tangerine_boy! (^^) It warms my heart for you to give me such high praise. Thank you so much for supporting my work! I really appreciate it and am happy that it was able to give you joy! =D I hope you have a great day! =)

Oh my goodness, thank you so much, my friend! I really appreciate it! =D

Hello, tangerine_boy! (^^) Thank you so much! <3 I hope you have a fantastic day, friend! =D

Thank you! I'm glad it gave you the feels! =D

Hello, Regina_Reine! (^^) Haha, sorry 'bout that! XD I'm glad that you're excited about it! =D Thanks for dropping a comment! I really appreciate it! <3

Hello, Jay_Pursie! Good to see you! (^^) Ah, I'm glad you were excited about the update! Yeah, life's been busy lately. Getting a new job. BUT, I do plan to see this through to the end! Updates may be slower, but just know that they ARE coming! Thanks for sticking with me and this story! =) Hope you have a great day! =D

Hello, Regina_Reine! Good to see you! (^^) Yeah, so did Simon. Alabaster dropped into his life suddenly and will leave just as quick. He realizes that now. What they have isn't forever. They belong to different worlds. Different places. The question is, how will our dearest tailor respond to that understanding? Tune in next time to see! Or.. the time after that. I'm not sure which chapter that will be covered in yet, hehe~ XD Anyways, thanks for the comment, friend! See you later! I hope you have a good day! =D

Hello, Regina_Reine! (^^) So glad to see you! =D Yeah, it's one of those things where Simon needs to realize how much he is truly loved by his vampire. It's certainly coming!

Ah!~ Thank you so much, Regina_Reine! (^^) I'm so glad you liked it! Hehe, well, she interrupted a kiss, so she's staying in there until I say so! XD Nah, she'll be out again next chapter. And hey, at least even if down below is cold, her heart is quite warm. I mean, she got to listen in on all of that, after all! And she so ships them. XD

Hello, Regina_Reine! =D Thanks and I'm so happy that you enjoyed the moment of sweetness! <3 And thank you so much for commenting! It gives me life, hehe~ XD

Thanks, Jay_Pursie! (^^) They are two very strong men, who are made even stronger by the love and dedication growing between them! There will be trials and tribulations, but at the end of the day, they have each other! =) Love conquers all! =D

Oh, goodness! Thank you so much, Jay_Pursie! =D It figures that they are only rendered speechless by each other, doesn't it? XD

Hello, Jay_Pursie! (^^) Ah, he wonders that, himself, I'm sure. XD It was a very unexpected event! Ohhh, it's going to be so thick that you can cut it with a knife! A man who thinks he is the cause of the other's troubles and one who believes that he was abandoned. Both have regrets. Both have insecurities. Should be interesting! Or, at least, I hope so. =) Hahaha! Yes, poor Malakai! He's trying to do the right thing, but.. yeah, sorry, not sorry, indeed! XDDD Thanks for supporting Crystal Stitches, Jay_Pursie! See you next time! =D

Oh goodness! I just realized that I might not have written a review for this delightful comment! I do apologize! I just wanted to say thank you so much! I really appreciate it! And I will keep writing! =D

Hello, Jay_Pursie! (^^) Ahh, that's the question, isn't it? XD The ball is well and truly in Alabaster's court, since Simon believes that he is staying away for the greater good. And without his human, our favorite vampire noble is in a compromised state. But, yes, they've got a lot to talk about! XD Oh goodness! I'll take that as a high compliment, my friend! Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter! =D

Hello, Jay_Pursie! (^^) So good to see you! Ha, it's nice to know that I wasn't the only one trying not to cry on my keyboard today. XD Thanks for the kind words! =)
