Ooooh, I love it when someone explains a very maddening little detail in the show like this one. I'd never thought of things this way, but it makes a kind of lovely sense. And I loved Bill not being able to tell her. Lovely stuff!

I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for commenting. I just remember watching the episodes after 'Faith' waiting for the scarf to make an appearance and it never happening.

I'm seconding everything larsfarm77 said above.

I love the depth of Bill's feelings for her here. And this moment in particular:

Bill shook his head. Having nothing else to give her, Bill offered her his hand.

Taking it, she squeezed it.

I have such a thing for them holding hands. Sometimes there's so much more intimacy in a spare gesture than a full on sex scene. I think this fic proves that. Beautiful work.

[mascaret]

Thank you!.
I know what you mean about their holding hands. The scene in your icon is one of my absolute favorites.

One of those little details that ended up being a huge miss. Fabulous idea, your explanation of what happened. Thanks for filling us in. I love sensitive Bill.

And I love this:

The lies came so easily once he started.

I'm pondering all of the implications & where fics could go if Bill sometimes lies to her...

[mascaret]

Thank you. I'm glad you didn't find the whole idea too off putting.

After Faith I was always on the lookout for that scarf, It was such a small detail but I think it was a pretty big miss when they didn't use it in later episodes. I think Laura would have definately warn it and not hidden it away in a drawer somewhere.

I enjoyed your theory on what could have happened, and the way Bill deals with the knowledge he has.

[mascaret]

Exactly! I kept waiting and waiting for it to show up again and nothing! I'm glad the idea worked for you. Thanks for commenting.

See? No-one is trying to kill you.

I second everyone else's comments. I love how much you have Bill caring for her, so much that he can't bring himself to tell her the truth.

'Take a picture. It's sure to last longer.'

Oh, Laura.

*hugs*

Amazing work.

[mascaret]

Thank you and yes you were right - like always.
