Morning ShazScott
Starting the day with a big grin on my face after reading these pages. Hate going to bed when America is still posting. Have to do catchup over my cereal.
I still maintain it was love at first sight for our hero. Although he went about it in a very clumsy way!
Got to go and do this work thing now. Have a good day

I agree with what you say.We don't know, but my gut says yes. Because if it is true that Anne Lucas expressed keen interest in Eva the first time Gideon took Eva out in public as a date, it makes sense why at the next big social affair that Gideon and Eva attended, the fundraiser at the Waldorf a couple of weeks later, Dr. Lucas swooped in on Eva.
Â
Lucas took full advantage of the fact it was plain to everyone in the vicinity Gideon wasn't even paying attention to a miserable Eva -- Eva was being ignored while Corrine got all of Gideon's attention. While Gideon was distracted, Lucas kept Eva company at the dinner table and even persuaded her to go have a drink with him. Eva attempting to leave the table to do just that is what finally drew Gideon's attention back to Eva.
Â
This was Lucas' first attempt at poisoning Eva's heart and mind against Gideon. Lucas did succeed in planting some seeds by playing into Eva's insecurities about Gideon being almost completely 100% focused on Corrine at that moment. Lucas pointed out truthfully that Gideon had been too wrapped up in talking with Corrine to even notice what Eva was doing. Then Eva told Gideon that Lucas was right. Thus began the argument that led to Eva walking out of the dinner, pulling one of her runners. So Lucas did win that night in that he sparked the one thing that absolutely terrifies Gideon inside -- Eva pulling away from him. In fact, for the first and only time, Eva safe-worded Gideon in order to make Gideon let go of her (at the time, Gideon had a firm hold on her hand and was refusing to let her leave the table.)
Although Gideon had a reason for the way he treated Anne Lucas, what Dr. Lucas was doing, was his version of payback. I'm sure Dr. Lucas will be crawling out from under his stone at some point. I wonder how he would feel if he knew Gideon owned the building where he worked. Paying rent to your enemy!
I just hope Gideon spills the beans in June. That is going to be one heck of a conversation.

Oh ladies
I've just choked on my cornflakes!!!!

Was thinking were thousand of miles apart but what about we arrange a time that as many as possible were on line together on 3 June discuss what we hope to find out in EWY
And the again on 5th after we've read EWY
Although some of us speed readers will have finished it before 4th has finished !
Anyone up for the idea ?
Count me in. Be burning that midnight oil again. Lol

I always thought it was Anne Lucas. Another hair colour moment!

Can you imagine how hot these pages will be when we get to that chapter with the limo ride to North Carolina ? Smoking!

Mine is
He was the kind of guy who made a woman want to rip his shirt open and watch the buttons scatter along with her inhibitions. I looked at him in his civilised, urban, outrageously expensive suit and thought of raw, primal, sheet-clawing f***ing. Page 6&7.
Think we deserve an A*.

I can go with that. You articulate very well. I've been up 17 hours, my bed is calling, but I'm enjoying myself dissecting these theories.

I seriously think its his mothers betrayal that has us linking it to the brunette fetish. Fathers suicide, abuse and rape, no wonder the poor chap is screwed up.
Mummy is the problem. But it's just not her believing him, I think she has a penchant for young men. Hope I'm wrong. Nasty!

I listened to the audio book today with the intention of listening to chapter one only .
But on chapter 4 before I realised I had to leave for work !!!!!!
Like you knew we'd never sick to a chapter a day !!
Evening.
This work lark is really inconvenient. Can you work and listen at same time?
-
LN Cronan
Not sure I'm on right path. I know where I'm going, but can't quite articulate it.

LN Cronan
Do you think because of his mummy issues, Gideon is punishing brunettes somehow. Not physically, but emotionally, because he felt unloved and had trust issues?
-
Huh.
I knew we couldn't stick to one chapter!!!

LN Cronan
We seem to get a more in depth description of Elizabeth at the end of RIY. Having already met her in Bared.. But yes your right about the majority of characters in the book.
-
You ladies are cracking me up here. Shame were thousands of miles apart. Bet we could have a good evening sat round a table with Sylvia.
-
LN Cronan
In RIY page 297 last paragraph is a description of Elizabeth. Gideons mother was a beautiful woman, with long straight black hair and the same amazing eyes as her son and Ireland. Corrine is. Mummy lookalike.

Heeheehee
Sorry I have a wicked sense of humour.

I know, perhaps Sylvia will reveal all soon. Before we all go grey worrying about it.

Page 219 bottom third, describes Elizabeth Ireland and Gideons colouring

Ireland made the comment to Eva "you're a blonde", Eva came back with "and you're a very lovely brunette" when they were being introduced.
-
Hi all.
In Gideons case I'm going for love at first sight for him.
-
Hi Gigi
Page 221 third of the way down.
Was Gideons preference for dark-haired women a law or something? And your a very lovely brunette. Was what Eva said to Ireland .
-
Hi Gigi
That comment made my day. Can't do smiley faces on my iPad, or if I can I don't know how to. Not very technical. Lol
She is 20 years old. She brought FSOG then BTU and RIY. She preferred the latter, which we all do, because the storyline is so compelling and better written. But she won't discuss them with me. I don't expect her to talk graphically about the sex, though it does give one a lovely tingly feeling, but it would have been good to discuss the rest of the plot. Kids eh! Apparently when we get to 50 we have to take up knitting. Lol

Hi all.
Re: brunette s
Some people regard black hair as brunette, while others call it raven colouring. It's seems it is a bit of a grey area, sorry about the pun!
Eva referred to Ireland as a lovely brunette at the garden party. She is the same colouring as Gideon and Elizabeth Vidal.

Wonder what the homework will be today. My favourite line is
I looked to Mark for guidance, still recovering from the moments I'd spent plastered against the sexual superconductor in Fioravanti. Cross leaned closer and ordered quietly, "sit Eva ".
There's nothing we wouldn't do for this man, right girls. Sigh!!!
