their current surroundings echo the way Alex and Tony are that peaceful retreat for each otherYep yep yep, that's it entirely. And partly that's why Tony says Alex is lucky, because she grew up with that kind of haven, and can go back to it whenever she wishes, and this is something he never had, and has decided he shouldn't expect, because apparently he doesn't really deserve it. But Alex is just dying to share it with him, and to give him some of that sanctuary, especially now when his brain is reeling.

Before I forget, FRECKLE SHOUT OUT! (I fully expect Alex's freckles to be mentioned in all of your fics now.)

I love the slow pace you set here and I think it works beautifully to show, like you said, the calming effect Alex's family home has on Tony. And your talk about how Tony never really had anything like this (the loving family or a peaceful escape) makes me both sad for his past and terribly happy for the fact that he has Alex now and that she wants nothing more than to share this with him and that her family is so accepting of him.

I seem to have this thing about Tony imagining her when she was young. What is that even about, Liz.*welcome to Liz's crappy attempt to be a psychologist* I think it's because of something we've talked about before, how we wish Tony would ask Alex questions about her life and express more curiosity about her. When you're really head over heels for someone and want to know everything about them, picturing little baby them is just part of that, isn't it? It's just terribly sweet that he wants ( ... )
