I like this. It catches the essence of both characters in a way which is not in the face. The language is in line with the language of the H:LOTS storytelling and cinematography. Very well done!

DS, this is really beautiful and deep. It fits so perfectly into the H:LOTS timeline, too. I loved it.

lol...the summary reminded me of a t-shirt my friend wears to work: "Better an awkward morning than a lonely night"

He gives her a sideways look. “I’m not tired.” “I didn’t mean physically.” LMAO...his fragile little ego. He needs to know that she knows that he can keep up with her.

And you've done it again. I know just what is going on without having seen the epis you are referencing. You are amazing!

This is so sad. I remeber something about him dying, and I remember him going crazy without his kids, which kind of reminds one another detective on another show, eh?

Thanks for sharing.

beautiful insight into these two characters, touching and tough at the same time.
