Oh wow...I knew the second chapter would be like this, with Nine feeling all guilty since the first chapter had Rose feeling all guilty. :P They're too alike for their own good. I really loved this look inside Nine's head, because you captured him oh so well. Loved the bit with the key at the end.

And they were so close to shagging! Just had to throw that in there. You're killing me with all this tension. But that's ok. It'll be a good death. :P
