"You have survived so much loss, so much more than you deserve, but you have survived. And I know it has damaged you and you are lost. But you are not defeated. But I am defeated in your presence. Just like I have always been. No more, for either one of us, Abigail. No more.”
NAME: Christopher Dean
ROLE: Ice Dancing partner/friend/occasional love interest/etc.of Abigail Phelps
HE MET ABBY... In Vienna, just prior to the 1979 World Figure Skating Championships.
(I've Loved These Days, Book 1 in The Abigail Phelps Series Chapter 3 - "You Look So Good To Me")
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: "I was staring. Possibly drooling? I don’t know. I was so into him, right away. He looked young and innocent, though at 20 he was three years older than I, and he had just enough of a mischievous gleam in his eye that I doubted he was as innocent as he appeared. More than thirty years later, I still remember exactly how he looked, what he was wearing, how he smelled." 

I've Loved These Days, Chapter 3 "You Look So Good To Me"
ROMANTIC CONNECTION: Where to begin... Chris and Abby almost got together countless times, but the timing was never quite right. Until it was. Maybe...

IN CHRIS'S WORDS: “I’m so tired of you being everything. When you aren’t in my life, I’m better by the world’s standards. I function, which is something I can’t seem to do when you’re around. But it’s empty. Completely empty. Every emotion I feel and every action I take is half-hearted at best. All I do is function. I don’t laugh. I don’t live. I don’t love. And I’m tired of it, Abigail. I have tried to purge you from my heart time and again, and it’s useless. My heart only exists to love you.”
I've Loved These Days, Chapter 32 "Shameless"
IN ABBY'S WORDS: "'I’ve lost Sergei, and I’ve lost John, and the pain has been so intense that I didn’t know if I could survive it. But if I ever lost you, I know now that I wouldn’t want to survive it, Chris. I love you, and I want you, and I need you. So much more than I ever knew.'”

"When you’re old and gray and alone and not understanding why John and Chris don’t fight over you anymore, I’ll still visit you. And we’ll sit together and watch Out of Africa and Bolero and reflect on your golden days. I won’t even bring my 22-year-old girlfriend around, because I am your best friend and don’t want to make you feel bad about yourself.”

IN GEORGE'S WORDS: “'I’m not scared of your mess, Abby. I’m not scared of your crazy, messed-up life. The only thing that has ever scared me was you losing faith in that, losing faith in us and everything we are.'" Two Thousand Years, Chapter 10 "Just The Way You Are"          
NAME: George Clooney
ROLE: Best friend/frequent co-star of Abigail Phelps
HE MET ABBY... In April of 1978. (I've Loved These Days, Book 1 in The Abigail Phelps Series, Chapter 1 - "My Life")
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: "I noticed him immediately and constantly - he was the goofiest boy I had ever seen. He had too much hair, his eyes were too big for his head, and he was just a skinny thing, but what really caught my attention was how he seemed like he belonged there. He possessed a confidence that I couldn’t even dream of having at that age." 
I've Loved These Days, Chapter 1 "My Life"  
ROMANTIC CONNECTION: None. Seriously - none. Unless you count the uncontrollable laughter during film/TV love scenes.

IN ABBY'S WORDS: "He had loved me unconditionally. Since we met, I would look at George and I would see the best parts of myself, because that is what George saw. I would see happiness and nostalgia and security. Suddenly, when I looked at George I saw the doctor telling me that in spite of their best efforts, Sergei could not be revived. When I looked at George I saw the phone, not ringing, as I waited for news about the whereabouts of the Piper Saratoga. When I looked at George I saw Chris walking out of the Ivy and out of my life, taking our daughter with him. So, except when absolutely necessary for work purposes only, I chose to no longer look at George."
