BTW - I read this one a while ago - right about when I started to de-lurk - and I wanted to tell you how great this was. I loved the scene on the couch and the way Flack dips his chin. The description says so much with just a few words. Great job!

Love the chemistry between Stella and Flack. The scene at the end, with Mac finding them on the couch and noticing how Flack is holding her 'protectively close' was a nice moment too.

very impressive. i loved the unspoken little nod of approval from mac to don...

Good job.

This was wonderful! I loved the emotions that Stella was bottling up and her attempt at releasing them. Your interaction between them was so very belivable!

I like this a lot - I think you have some really interesting dynamics going on here, and yet managed to keep everyone within character.

Nice work!

Wow. Just wow. There's so much in there...Stella's fears, Don's relief at her being alive, the deep and trusting relationship between Mac and Stella...I loved it. I'm gonna be sad when I watch the ep tonight, aren't I?

Fabulous, just fabulous.
