Yes, it took long enough, but we finally got John's POV! :-) I'm glad you liked the degree of smuttiness in this part. I figured that after all this time, people deserved something in the way of smuttiness! *g*

I actually regret not writing more about the murder mystery night. I mean, I spent all that time setting it up and then made the classic mistake of not having it pay off. However, I just ran out of time and energy when it came to that scene. I know it's not a justifiable excuse, but it's my excuse. *g* Maybe at some point I'll go back and add more, or include new material as a missing scene. Well, at least you have the image of Carson fling-ing to sustain you for the time being...
