Another Gaylesam lovely surprise! I really enjoyed "hearing" the Captain's belly laugh. On-camera, anyway, those scenes are among the best in the series. I think Katie K would be proud!

"In the still of the night" ...is what comes to mind, and add that to the moonlight (and perhaps the sound of the surf in the background)and you have superb story, sans the usual high drama of THE 'Discovery'...images are so filled with compassionate tenderness and the beginings of hope and budding passion, it leaves this reader sighing and wishing in a good way...:)

It's beautifully executed, all the more so, because, DG's actions and words seem so like him in character and I can imagine both of them whispering the entire dialogue, as if trying not to break the moonlight spell...lovely :) Thank you:)

As I said, you've now earned the "GaMM Most-Romantic FF of the Year Award." Sigh.
