		<description>Karin! Your excitement is contagious!
I&#039;m looking forward Mariyah&#039;s next chapter simply because she can take us anywhere. Youssef too is dying to know what went on between the two women.

As to the romance ;-) I have to admit that I&#039;m kind of happy with it. Being a (genre virgin) I didn&#039;t do so bad, I think.
:-D</description>

		<description>What a beautiful romance, sexy, steaming with eroticism, sizzling hot from every aspect, from a beautiful crescendo to a rousing crescendissimo!!
And them the meeting ... Amar and Rana - I can hear the drums rolling in the background ... the tension mounting - what in the world did they talk about, alone, without Youssef, and part the way they did?? Did they contrive a scheme? Hatch a plot? Naaaaaa ... not Amar who&#039;s madly in love with Youssef!! But what about Rana? I don&#039;t trust her for a split-second ... you got me baffled - and left in suspence!
You guys are SOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>I really am thrilled when our friends/readers write and say that they liked this chapter or that one. But what makes it or breaks it for me is ultimately how you feel about it.
I&#039;m sure you will not only keep the momentum of the plot but will certainly make it more interesting and entertaining.
The romance was good, wasn&#039;t it???
 :-D</description>

		<description>Oh, Abufares, you have left me with so many wonderful things for our characters to reflect upon and to talk about. :) This was a beautiful chapter. The romance between Amar and Youssef was lovely. The encounter with Rana was excellent. The plot direction about Houssam was superb. Thank you, my dear, for another excellent chapter. I hope I can keep the momentum going with the next.</description>

		<description>Glad you approve!
You know, after I wrote this chapter I couldn&#039;t make up my mind if the encounter was too comic. I didn&#039;t want it to be that way but the line between real and amusing is so thin in this case.

The bastard needs to be dealt with, and believe me he will. Wait till Yazan hears about it.</description>

		<description>Well perhaps we should let the readers on our little &quot;test&quot;. Some episodes ago we mentioned in the comment section that I will introduce the test.

If you&#039;re in a relationship and are not 100% sure about your feelings the toothbrush test is a very reliable measure.

If you don&#039;t mind using your partner&#039;s toothbrush, in fact, if you enjoy using it or letting him/her use yours... than it&#039;s very likely that you are really in love.

I don&#039;t want to claim that I invented this test. I have heard about it so many years ago that I&#039;ve forgotten who came out with it in the first place.

Thank you Katia, have the best of times.</description>
