*sighs* Lovely! One of the things I like best about it is the perfect balance between the serious, the romantic ... and the quietly funny. Like this line:

"Kara tilts her head in his direction. She doesn't quite go cross-eyed looking at his face so close. He needs a shave. He needs a whole new wardrobe but some things are old news." I'm glad that even while sniffling about their soon-to-come final parting, I can giggle!
