Nicely done. The melancholy and loss are keenly apparent in this. Good word choices and showing through their actions.

A nice one-shot.

.

My favorite section:

'He finishes his beer, walks out to the parking lot, drives back to his apartment and thinks about buying a place of his own.

He thinks he needs something permanent.

His phone buzzes.

Something that can't be taken away.' [Poignant and believable.]

So quick is right...I feel like you could continue with this but it's TIVA! And better than the show so it makes me happy. XDD Great work!

This is making me cry *sniffle* it's so heartbreakingly beautiful. I just wish they could understand each other for once...because this story tells me that Tony needs that; he really does.

And Ziva...she deserves more than an empty ring box. She deserves a man who texts her and asks her to text him back just so he knows she's safe. Because it really means so much more.

Beautifully written; I love the way you portray Tony's thoughts. I love how he wants the same things as her, and he doesn't even know it...and the last sentence just about broke my heart.

Great work!

Beautiful fic, you created a really emotive fic.

I would love to see something like this in the episode! Great job!

Yes, something is off with Ray and I'm glad you had Ziva pick up on it. The writers have had Ziva a little too girlie in my opinion recently. Good one. And I love Tony thinking about buying a house - very grown up!

I really liked the story. I like how you incorporated Palmer in. I can't wait for the next season.

Lovely. So sad, and true. I like the tone of this little fic. Nice job.
