Neat! Short and sweet, like a one-two punch. I love looking in on Ray's thoughts just before he falls hard for Fraser. And we know he's soon to be kayoed. :)
That was... amazing. The whole story had a rhythm. A beat. A flow. I could hear it in my head.
One two.
Bam bam.
I can hear it in my head. Wow. Wow. Wow. And it's sharp and powerful and to the point.
I absolutely adore the way you've turned the beat into... milestones in Ray's life. One... when he's on his own, only he's not, never was, because how can you dance to a beat of one? And then two with him and Stella, and three, only not three and then back to two, back to one, and now... two. Only not yet. Not quite. But unmistakable. Fan-bloody-tastic!

Again, thanks so much for the lovely feedback, it really made my day.
