post-When the Heat Cools OffDoyle stalked straight past Bodie, standing waiting for him in the early evening light. He hadn’t wanted him to come, had known he’d be in a foul, vindictive temper after seeing Haydon

Thank you very much, I really enjoyed it. It is so our lads.

The line in this fic that really charms me is "he was on the wrong side of the car to see Bodie’s eyebrow lift." I love the idea that Doyle knows Bodie's expressions so well that he doesn't actually have to see them to know which one is there.

They are always there for the other, no matter what. That's the best part! Thank you!

And another perfect Lads moment in time. I love them so much!
And you write them so perfect!

This is a really great glimpse of them-in-a-nutshell, the way Bodie is simply there for Doyle - ready to wait and be what he needs without demanding anything (just now!) and Doyle knows it. And the way Doyle moves on from fury ...to accepting a lift home ... to food, to food and drink, to food and drink and a match - lovely! *vbg*
