“I can’t do this without you,” her voice broke. “Promise me that you won’t do something so stupid again.”

I love this. He totally should've thought of that -- this was a completely unnecessary risk for him to make.

Yeah, that always stuck me too. He's like 60! Taking a beating like that isn't wise, especially at his age. Thanks for reading. :D

This is such a good companion piece to "Best for Last." It really highlights that before the fall of the colonies, they were with the wrong partners. I do like that Carolanne pointed out “had you met on Caprica, she wouldn’t have even given you the time of day. Because it's true and it's something I'm sure we've all thought. I'm so glad fate brought them together.

Great drabble set.

Thank you! :) I agree, I think that had they met on Caprica, they would not have fallen in love. Unless of course some crisis or other forced them to work together long enough for them to set aside their stubbornness long enough to let love in.

and that's a perfect twin drabble! =D
had you met on Caprica, she wouldn’t have even given you the time of day
i think had they met before the fall they would have not fallen in love... but i can think of a couple of caprica scenarios when they would, eventually, meet again, be friends first, and something more at last ♥ (and caroleanne is just a jealous bitch -,-)
“I love her.” *happy shippy sigh*

I think that a crisis would have to bring them together a la The Fall in an AU setting for them to properly fall in love. Thanks for reading. :D

“I love her.”
That's all that's need to make someone special.

she and Bill both had matching grins on their faces.
I can picture their grins after the kiss in Resurrection Ship! Laura's moment for stealing a little intimacy.

I really love this drabble. I love the dichotomy between Carolanne's harsh voice and Laura's soft touch and compassionate voice.

That is exactly what I was hoping to convey! Thanks for reading. :D
