Alexis Hall Wow, I really wish GR would tell me when I had questions. So sorry to be horribly slow :(

I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying FOR REAL.

Um, yes, *shuffles* - it was a definitely Jane Eyre reference. I'm thrilled you noticed it :) I have all the feelz about Jane Eyre, generally, including the Wilson/Stephens series which is my absolute favourite - but I find the scene where Jane throws aside all the values of her society and proclaims herself the equal of a man who many would hold to be her superior (in terms of birth and fortune, anyway) very powerful.

And I thought maybe Toby, who I'm sure has read and adored Jane Eyre, would have felt rather the same with Laurie.
