At first glance, this might seem like a simple vignette, but a closer reading reveals this fic has a little bit of everything - the witty banter we all love to see Harold and Marian engage in, tender and poignant moments between husband and wife and parent and child, heated romance (lovely that after two children, our favorite couple has still got that same old spark!) and, of course, humorous incidents like the mouthpiece fiasco (and Harold's unwitting - for once! - double entendre). You deftly weave these diverse elements into a touching and sweet glimpse into the family dynamics of the Hills. You really excel at portraying the little intimate moments between people; I have always wanted to see more fics from you exploring Harold and Marian with children, and this fic adds beautiful depth to the TM Universe!
