Simply beautiful.

This is a warm, poignant story. I liked this Al much better than the skirt chaser. You write so very well. Brava, Nichole!

Touching and sexy. Wonderful combination. Beautifully worded.

“My chance for complete.”
I love this. And after all, isn't it we're all looking for. I'm glad Al found his "complete".

WOW!

(says it all)

What a delightful piece, certain parts of it blush-inducing to be sure, but full of such love and romance throughout. I love the depth of love and tenderness to this story. The ending, in a word, is perfect.

That was absolutely excellent. It's about time we had some mature - delightfully not raunchy - Al and Beth scenes.

Makes me want to take a very hot bath, with lots of soap, and a very healthy imagination. In about five seconds.

Wonder what Dean would say.

First and foremost, what beautiful language! Breathtaking! Enthralling!

The poem is exquisite and heartbreaking.

You made me cry this time! What a superb story. Once again, a captivating look at the way things should be (and finally were) for Al.
