I ***LOVE**** this!! (Not sure how the story can possibly live up to this tribute, but I guess I'll soon find out.)

He's so cool and composed, looking neat in his clothes
She's a bourbon and cigarette mess
But he smiles and he shrugs, and he toes at the rug
"Hey, we all need a hobby, I guess."

This is so pure you. I smiled. I can hear and see you perform it.

Are you kidding? I kipped most of the language straight from the text!!

[asakiyume]

So that comes from the text?!

But yes, the part about the hobby and toeing the rug? Totally you!

So maybe Bo Bolander has a little Claire in her.

The hobby part is hers, the rug part is mine.

Ah, the glorious marriage of minds at work in the adaptation of story to alternate medium!
