I remember my husband coming out to the living room at 2:30 am and giving me grief that i was still up and reading. <br /><br />I think one of the most heart wrenching scenes was after he rescued her and carried her all those miles (sorry, can't do metric) and then they sat on the bench at the depot waiting for the tram to take her to the hospital. They sat there and let how many trams go by, just knowing that it would lead them back to their former lives with Dasha & Dima, and gone would be their intimacy. <br />All this followed up with those evening visits and Dasha just itching for some time alone with Alexander..made my blood boil and had me wishing for and incendiary to fall on Dasha on her way home from work. <br /><br />I know it's been said before, please keep reading as their are some new dimensions coming to this story.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303207024029820196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-50836295845335831792011-06-06T09:24:53.166-04:002011-06-06T09:24:53.166-04:00shtupping...LOL!

Tania, standing on...Oh this part is just sickening. Tania, standing on her broken leg, puking in the sink, while they're alone in the room, and blaming herself for what has happened. Poor, poor Tania. I wanted to cry for her. I know that I blame Alexander too but I don't know if it's completely his fault. {ducking} I think the situation with her family has been terrible for both of them. Neither of them want this. I have WAY more to say but I'll wait until you get a little further.<br /><br />I was bracing myself for when you got to this part, cause it's not pretty.<br /><br />Just keep reading though. :) I know you're going to continue to love it.<br /><br />I wish you'd blogged after the hospital scene but I knew this part was coming up soon afterwards and the excitement would diminish. Tania was just so priceless at the hospital. I think Paullina writes about Tatiana's innocence so perfectly.Hildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139015699969393234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336580558754211816.post-14247627670001300662011-06-06T00:40:51.076-04:002011-06-06T00:40:51.076-04:00Ohhhhhhhhhh, I remember thinking and feeeeeeeling ...Ohhhhhhhhhh, I remember thinking and feeeeeeeling exactly the same way. I was so confused and couldn't understand what exactly WAS going on. So, I kept reading...........Just keep reading. All will be revealed.<br /><br />I agree, that hospital scene is raunchy!
