Beautiful... <sigh> You did a good job skipping ahead to the *real* moment of confrontation -- we know what happened after she left the ball, but we don't have to slog through irrelevant details -- and Clark's fears were certainly understandable. I'm glad he went anyway, though -- and I know he is, too <g>
Wonderful conversation between them, too. Tender and suspenseful and winding up to be really sweet and satisfying.
And I'd never thought of that "lighting makes them look bigger" as a clue, or a hint, but "bigger" implies a comparison with a previous view... Cool
Thanks, Cindy!
You should write more of these shorter things!
