What they describe in a partner...isn't that what most of us want? *Sigh*

LOL. "You make me sound like toast."

omg ya killing me so sad so mean omg i cant

Great story

Great chapter and great fic! I really enjoyed this. And I love the way they spent the rest of their vacation and Penelope feeling guilty for not seeing more of the city...but not too guilty. :-) I loved this fic and I hope the two of you have teamed up for more fics.

I knew you would fix it, and this was a great way. I'm glad that Penelope didn't let Derek just talk over her and got out exactly what she was feeling and letting Derek know her reasoning behind what happened. And them making up is great, hopefully with this fight and them understanding the other better, both showing their vulnerability, that they can successfully continue their relationship back home.

I like them shopping together and Derek finally telling her he just needs some food and a break. And Penelope flirting with the guy and then realizing it had gone to far... I really like that. And Derek's reaction, I love his anger. And Penelope running after him trying to explain and then him calling her on exactly what she was doing. Great chapter, and I'm going to trust the two of you to fix it.

That is the perfect setting for their first time together... and they've definitely been building up to it for a long time. I'm glad they didn't start thinking and decide to wait... just went with their emotions. And I love Derek's words once he was able to talk again.

I like that Derek wanted them to go out to eat, but Penelope's idea was much better. And them in the pool is great, I love them getting so caught up in their kiss that they forget to swim. Their kiss goodnight is great and I love them not stopping.

I really like Penelope's reflection on the different between their trips from and to the airport in Paris. They definitely had a better drive out of Paris. And the house they rented sounds gorgeous, I really like your description of it. I'm looking forward to seeing what Derek has planned for the two of them.

Great chapter. I am glad Penelope finally got to see the Eiffel Tower. But more importantly... they finally kissed! I love how the kiss progressed starting slow and Penelope being able to think and then changing. This should definitely make Spain a lot of fun. :-)

I like them spending the day together again, Penelope's happiness in this chapter is great, a love how it plays against the last few chapters when they were both so miserable. I really like Derek teasing her about how she sounds like Reid.

I'm glad the time away and waiting in line gave Penelope some time to think, sometimes that's all you need. I love her turning around and seeing Derek there. Their conversation when he gets back to the hotel room is great. And then her waking up in the room alone... I really like her anger when she realizes Derek left her. I'm glad she went out on her own and saw the sites though, even though she didn't enjoy it by herself. And Derek's anger when she does show up is great. That note he left was great, it was definitely a great way to make up. And I really like that them just being together at the end of this chapter.

Man... the angst is really amped up here. They both are hurting and making sure the other hurts just as much... and they are both being successful at that. Hopefully Paris will get better for them soon.

I love the angst in this. I really like them having this fight at the airport and then immediately having to get on a plane and sit next to each other. It definitely didn't let either of them run from their feelings... and they didn't. They both knew just what to say to the other to hurt the most... hopefully know they'll remember that they also know what to say to heal the other.
