Works for me, this is a fabulous scene!! I loved it all, but my favourite line and one that struck me was the "deeply generous" one. I hadn't thought of it that way before and I just love that Laura had that thought about Bill at this early point. It's marvelous how these little scenes move their relationship along bit by bit.

It trully was the foundation of who they were. I love it! And thank you!!!! :D
