I really don't know what to say other than this is the sweetest, most beautiful SP story I've ever read. I just want to marry it LOL

Every little detail is so perfect. I love how it started with their hug after Penny's gift. And their first Christmas after that. How he told her he didn't like the perfume Leonard gave her. Just wow. That "no" just held so many unsaid things.

The Texas Christmas is kind of sad but still beautiful in it's own way. We could tell that they loved each other, but couldn't quite fully deal with their relationship yet. And the way Sheldon almost pulled her back. I can totally see this happening for real. But it was so sweet and heart breaking.

Aww Sheldon alone. He hung the lights for her anyway *cries* Do you want to kill me? LOL

And just the best thing ever written. Christmas 2013 *THUD*

Just a big WOW. I loooved it when he started explaining his gift to her. It was just so sweet and beautiful and amazing. And to think he was going to give it to her the previous Christmas *cries* And his hands on her knee, and him rubbing her tears *_____________*

And the final one almost mirrorring the Texas Christmas, with them looking at the sky, except this time Sheldon is much more open, and their relationship is exactly as it should be.

Absolutely loved it. Thanks so much for writing this. Perfect perfect perfect!!!

I'm glad the evolution and the parallels stuck, because that was really the whole point, I guess. I'm so glad you liked it, and thanks for taking the time to read it and respond.
