Thank you so much for all the well wishes for our anniversary, the response was touching! 🙂
You know what day it is so without further ado, here’s a little taste of chapter 37…
“…My post coital glow froze over rapidly, chilling me with a frightening terror. My heart stopped – completely, rendering me incapable of logical, practical thought. Fuck, fuck, fuck! With every skipped beat my breath came shorter, shallower, my mind singular in its focus – panic. That was what this was; pure, crippling, blind panic.
Just like Dr Flynn taught me the day before naming the emotion was what saved me from the attack that might have become full blown. That and Ray’s drill, a chanting distant voice in the back of my head to stay calm is what got me off my ass and racing to the team for help, finally letting the determination to help my husband override the fear that was holding me hostage.
The moment I burst into the room it was already on high alert. Collins was barking into the phone clutched between his tensed shoulder and ear, fingers flying over the keyboard with fevered strokes that could only spell trouble…”
Hi, thankk you the midweek teaser. To answer your question I would prefer the Dr Flynn sessions in the background.

Come on Friday!!! I won’t say more than that. As for Flynn, I think it should remain implied and in the background for now. Too many other intense situation to over shadow it right now. Just small tidbits in her wondering thoughts is enough. (Like you did in the teaser)
And the teaser is very testing!!!!!😯

As to, Ana and Dr Flynn; would it be possible to write their sessions into the main story line, as a, flashback? You write so well, Monique, I think, whatever way you decide, will be great!. In the meantime, too many more of these, cliffhanger endings, and I will be needing Dr Flynn too! xx

Hi Monique–
First, THANK YOU so much for writing this! I’m spellbound every week. I’m so grateful that I found this blog. Belated Anniversary good wishes, as well. Regarding your question about Flynn/Ana sessions, I’d prefer for the most part that they be in the background. Perhaps if CG, Ana and Flynn all have a session together, then that should move to the forefront.

I’ve been following your blog and I must admit that I love it, every Friday I wake up 15 minutes earlier so I can read the new chapter before going to work! Thank you much for giving us our Chrisitan fix….
Is there a chance that you would write a fanfic about Gideon & Eva? I’ve been having trouble locating a fanfic for bared to you and reflected in you and I really loved their story and I need to get my Gideon fix as well!!!!

Monique, I actually found your blog when I was looking for the “crossfire series” there are no many fanfic blogs about crossfire….

Thank you for the teaser, I just cannot wait until Friday. Since I retired from work I have never bothered about Fridays, but since reading your Meander I seem to look forward to Fridays :). As for Ana and Dr Flynn meetings, well it is part of the story, so yes it should be mentioned. I will leave it up to you how much you want to add in the chapters.

p.s. Monique, just had a thought, if it is easier for you to write a one off Meander (like the Christmas/Valentine/Quickie) about Ana and Dr Flynn, then again I leave it up to you. We will all enjoy which ever you choose.

So cannot wait for Friday…. It doesn’t look to good though. As for Ana and Flynn, Maybe some of it but not all of it…. Maybe there is something that we haven’t been privy to that she will tell him about…. IDK really up to you and what you write. Looking forward to your next update.

I love the therapy sessions also whether it’s between Ana/ Flynn or Christian/Flynn (or even Ana/Christian/Flynn:). It would be great to see Ana realizing why she actually ran from Christian so she can gain a better understanding of herself so it doesn’t happen again. I like the flashback idea; I also would like direct conversation between Ana/Flynn…just once in a while. That said, I really just LOVE anything you write Monique! You’re the writer, you decide 🙂

I love the idea of peeking into the sessions with Ana and Dr. Flynn. I think they should be part of the main story, those details are the meat of the story and inform their actions and thoughts so much. Part of the reason why I was so gripped by FSOG was the psychology of it all; well, that and the hot, kinky sex. I would really like to see behind the curtain; what makes little Ana tick.
