“I don’t know who I am.” He repeats, a jumping off point. “But isn’t that half the fun? Finding out.”

Nicely done.

Thank you! I'm glad you thought so!

This is so lovely. I love how you capture the beauty of their imperfections and uncertainty. And the way they force each other to confront things they are anxious about. Your descriptions are so great: I especially love your description of his hands jammed deep into his pockets.

[slybrunette]

Thank you! I did a lot more work with description than I normally do, and it's nice to hear that effort paid off. I'm glad you liked this!

Aw, Cristina/Owen. Not nearly enough fic out there; this was fabulous :]

(She does these things to protect herself, simple as that, to protect herself from men who leave you and take your breath and your heart right along with them)

This is a sweet interlude. Very like them in tone. I doubt we will get this kind of confessional on the show. The 'see me' scene in "Before and After" was likely the extent of it. Thanks for filling in the gaps. I think all of us fans are waiting for Beth to fade out and know that you never will completely.

[slybrunette]

Yeah, for some reason I felt this strong need to expand upon those scenes in last episode -- I just don't think we'll see a lot because you know they've got a lot of other characters to deal with as well.

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Perfectly written, and I hate you for it... =P

[slybrunette]

lol, I'm glad you thought so! Thanks!
