Discovered in the Wrapping Paper - 6th January - Prosfic - A Little Warmth at Christmas

[byslantedlight]

It may not surprise you to hear that for the second year in a row I have failed to finish my Story Project in time to post for my Dialj day... I kept being hopeful, but as soon as I was back to work I knew it was probably not a goer

I'm a little heap of mush...

My work here is done... *vbg*

Ah, the warmth of that closeness, that affection, that always comes through - often just a little obliquely (Bodie's got to have a wee bit of snark to hide behind, even if it's just "that veggie muck you call soup" *g* - it makes his hesitancy, his hint of diffidence reveal so much vulnerability and tenderness) :-)))))))))))))

It's those still, pivotal moments you capture so perfectly - a quiet, ordinary-seeming moment when everything's in balance, just when they nudge the world down one path rather than another. Love it.

Thank you for sharing the winter treat!

Oh, lovely - thank you!

I doubt Doyle just happened to have the fixings all ready for Christmas dinner. He'd been thinking about this for a bit... just like Bodie had. Very sweet and cozy moment.
