Oh, this is good. I love the diversity here, how fantastic their high period it is and how abysmally fast it comes crashing dwn around their ears. It's so real, and very very well written. I love the last paragraph, and also Tonks' bitterness that she's the one who has to live with the memories because it all happened in her apartment. A very good and very real description, I must say. I also love the unspoken denial...How they refused to believe that the world was crashing down around them until it actually *did*. Sorry, I tend to ramble....
Edit: I'm not sure how he can both be taking a last look and unable to look back, and it sort of distracted me:
"But as he leaves, taking one last look at her, with her hands clasped instinctively over her stomach, bravely not looking directly at him but rather concentrating ferociously on the wall, he hurries away, unable to look back."
Love in Christ,
Lyny Angell

Aaand that 'back' was supposed to be 'again.' I was 99% sure that had been edited, but I guess not. *goes to fix*

Thanks so much for the review though, and I'm glad you liked it otherwise!

Haha, no worries. That's part of what comments are for, I guess =)

This was beautiful, and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you.

Just go to reading it and I love it. I feel like even the last paragraph isn't necessary; you start in the middle of something, you could end in the middle as well.
