HT 100 Challenge 31 -- Confession: aborted conversation

Chris is standing half naked in front of the sink, shaving, each move straining the chiselled muscles… Breathtaking view

This gave me a really vivid impression of what this kind of conversation between the two of them might have been like, and in very few words. And what a lovely image this was:

Chris is standing half naked in front of the sink, shaving, each move straining the chiselled muscles… Breathtaking view.

Oh yes, breathtaking is right! *g*

Thank you! I imagined maybe Chris wouldn't let Toby confess anything; he's too cautious, too self-deprecating to do that. Actually I wonder if they ever had any *real* conversation about anything. Chris looks so locked up inside himself, a prison inside the prison!

Yes, Chris half-naked in front of the sink is one of my (many) fantasies when it comes to Keller.

Oooh, this gave me a chill as the "you never know how things will turn" foreshadows the horror that is season 6. And I can so see Chris telling Toby, no confessions. Some things aren't meant to be said out loud. Great entry.

Thank you! I wonder how many *real* conversations they had. Chris doesn't strike me as the very talkative kind, I'm sure he's wary as hell!

Sage advice shouldn't hurt this much. Really great stuff Aline. I can totally hear Keller telling him this. Thanks for sharing.

[alinewrites]

Thanks, Mav!

Sage advice should be followed more often!

Hey Aline, really liked this one -- rings true (and sad) for these characters. And yeah, the foreshadowing of S6 is very nicely done.

Thanks, Rowan... The problem is that now, season 6 taints everything I try to write!
