It is finished! And posted! And wonderful! (Not that I doubted a single one of those things.)

Poor Emily with all her walls and the rules she's set up to keep herself from being hurt - all the way back to promising she wouldn't fall in love in Damage Control. She wasn't promising him, was she? She was promising herself.

And DAVE. Dave, who has finally learned to step up to the plate and figured out what commitment means and says it out loud to prove it. *HEARTS* Their lives are going to be so rich together.

And your last line, of course, is gorgeous. They make me want to twirl. :D

Will you post pictures of the twirling? I really want to see it.

Thank you so very much - for cheering it on and being so sweet. Now I can work on yours.

OMG-This was fabulous! Just fabulous!

I absolutely loved that you addressed Emily's guilt over the abortion. I figured she would think about that all the time, and I think you did it perfectly.

And I swooned when Dave took care of Emily and admitted his feelings for her. *sighs* Can I have one of him please?

This is great. You just rock at this pair!

Thank you so, so much! This one was very intense and I was a little worried it would be too over the top. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Man, I can't even begin to tell you how utterly beautiful this is. I love the thought of Dave pacing there for hours while Emily's doorman watches him suspiciously. And I love how they both were acting like they were following the rules, when they were both really falling in love without admitting it.

And the abortion. Emily feeling unlovable and being convinced that she's unworthy, and this whole paragraph:

“And then you tell yourself there’s time,” she’s talking through her tears but it hardly sounds like her voice there’s so much regret and pain in there. “There’s time for a baby and you’ll be the best mother ever, because you’ve got to make up for what you did.” She swipes at the tears. “Until you wake up one morning and you’re almost forty and you realize that it’s true.”Gut-wrenching and perfect and thank GOD Dave was there to show her how wrong she was. I have a couple of friends who have had abortions, and they don't talk about the much, but when they do... Yeah. This is something that haunts people, especially people ( ... )

*grabs you and squishes you*

Thank you so much. I'm so glad you think it worked. This may be one of my favorite stories ever (of the ones I've written). So to get such a positive response is amazing.

How do I love this? Let me count the ways.

I love that even though he let her go he'll still sit inside her building's lobby and wait for her for 3 hours, hairy eyed doorman and uncomfortable couches be damned.

The whole exchange about not being friends in Indianapolis is beautifully crafted. And this:

“I didn’t come here to have sex with you, Emily.” Dave watches the emotions play over her face. Lack of sleep, lack of food and two generous shots of Bailey’s have all combined to lower her defenses and she’s pretty much an open book and right now she looks more than a little hurt. “That doesn’t mean I don’t want to have sex with you. In fact, I’ve thought of it pretty much every day since Indy.”

Brilliance in the form of the perfect characterization of David Rossi.

This?

He can actually hear the quaver in his voice when he says, “What if I didn’t?”Made me wibble and a little bit fluttery ( ... )

You are just wonderful. Thank you. This story was hard for me to write and I wanted so much for it to come across the right way. :D Thanks for dealing with me.

WHEE! This is SUCH a perfect sequel. It captures their characters beautifully and it's just the right blend of poignant and erotic.

I totally love your icon. Totally.

Thank you so much for reading these and taking the time to leave comments. I do truly appreciate it.
