Let’s see:
With a name like Ingrid, she’s most probably caucasian, possibly from northern Europe (blonde, blue eyes and all that).

Judging from Shane’s tastes in women so far, she’d be relatively tall and toned, with nice curves in all the right places (hourglass figure).

From Shane’s allusions to her, it’s hard to say just how he feels about her, but I’d say she is more to him than just another Joon. Therefore, she would be very smart and reasonably powerful inside Triptych, as Shane would need to see her as a potential equal. I lean towards homo superior, though it’s not mandatory, provided she’s got brains and self-confidence. She would not be afraid of Shane. I see her as being very different from Addy: orderly and cold, but not necessarily bitchy or manipulative; a feminine version of Shane, minus the alien blood. Maybe she used Shane the same way he used her: a bit more than just a “f**k friend”, but not quite the passion he is experiencing with Addy.

Am I warming yet?

Eonknight, you’re cracking me up.

The “other woman,” whose name is Ingrid, has actually been mentioned in passing twice. I did a quick Google search to find the mentions. They’re in ch. 3 part 3 and ch. 5 part 6. We won’t meet her for a while though. Bwahahaha!

Your enthusiasm gives me an idea. For those so inclined, feel free to conjecture what Ingrid is like in a comment, the LiveJournal community, or the Facebook page.

I’ll give you a hint. She’s not an overweight cafeteria lady with a hairy mole.

Uh oh… not nice, this “leak” about a future character! I’m going to twist my brain in a knot until we meet her! I foresee sparks flying between addison and the former lover…

Seeing Addy as a lovestruck princess and Shane as a lovestruck boy is hilarious. Also, I’m thinking that despite their eagerness to keep this secret, it won’t stay that way for long. Joon may be too much of a bimbo to notice, but Daniel certainly isn’t. Come to think of it, he might well be behind the reappearance of Shane’s old flame, trying to undo their burgeoning love… Just a thought!

Actually, Shane has been with one other woman for reasons other than his job or abilities. You’ll meet her later.

Oh that is to cute, well of course he is going to be awkward. Shane never had to be nice to someone before, his power or the job would get them before. Now he has met a woman that doesn’t work on and it scares the pants off of him (and excites him as well).

At least he talked to her, and even treated her nicely.

LOLOLOLOL! So true, but *snigger* and now they’re both rambling – bless

Aww…Poor Shane. This is probably his first experience with feeling like an awkward teenager, huh? Oh well. Awkward teenage relationships survive it, and Addison seems just as nervous. Hopefully all will be well. *fingers crossed* Great writing and a wonderful plot. I am enjoying this story immensely. Keep up the marvelous work, and thank you for posting it online for people like me to read. *grin*
