Very nice! I like how the coat and the hot chocolate speak the unsaid words, and make the feelings known.

Aw. I liked the scene with Kaylee and Jayne. Sometimes it's hard to write Kaylee with her rascallyness and mischief, it can be easy to overexaggerate her sweetness. And of course Mal and Inara, and a perfectly suitable story for this season. But why are her hands cold? Something left unsaid here.

I could definitely go for more Mal/Inara fluff from you! Are you planning some post - BDM stories featuring these two?
