Oh god oh god oh god - you wrote TERRY. And this is perfect Terry, sitting in the church, balancing the sums of her parts, and being flippant, off-hand, when really she wants contact. And she does it twice, too, first with her boss who transfers, and secondly with Don when he offers to come down. Up. You know what I mean.

No, really, I love this a lot. It's so... effortlessly her. In control as much as she can be, and tired around the edges. And your Don is that kindly, well-togerther fellow from season 1 who I miss quite a lot.

This is excellent. Sincerely.

Oh, thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you liked it. I love Terry and will take any chance I can find to write her. ;-)

And your Don is that kindly, well-togerther fellow from season 1 who I miss quite a lot.

I miss him too! (As did Terry.)

That was awesome. And I confess that I thought the unnamed "he" in the beginning was Don. Even though I know he wouldn't do something like that. I like how you switched around my expectations, and made it so perfect and real.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :-)

I realized as I was about to post it that people would assume "he" was Don, and I tried to figure out for a minute if there was any note I could add to prevent that. I'm glad that it didn't detract from your enjoyment. :-)

I think that, though I might write him cheating with Amita, whenever I write Don with Terry he'll only ever be a hero.

Thank you! I had to mess around with it a bit before I could pick an ending I liked. I'm glad you thought it worked. :-)

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. :-)

I had originally ended it with the phone call, but... Needed more Don! :-)
