Ray loves Stella like he loves breathing, loves Fraser like he loves his tattoo, loves Chicago like he loves everything permanent in his life.

Wow, this is awesome. *loves hardcore*

Ahem.

I love this, I love your Ray voice, and I am mad-jealous.

Just. Guh. Anything that really deals with Stella is a-okay in my books, and you had such wonderful prose and details all throughout. I've never been to Chicago, but I could feel it.

i'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Oooooooeeeeeee.

I know, that is why I am the best beta EVAH. But if I hadn't loved it from the beginning, I would have told you to give up. *g*
