aw. ty. i changed some stuff at the end but then i gave up.

you're pretty.

[crushing83]

it worked :)

Um... not right now. I have one of those stretchy, elastic-band-like headbands in my hair. And I'm wearing my pajamas, still. But, thank you :)

Good for Toby, saying no. heee! But poor Ann. It's a contest for her and she's lost. So sad, that she lost and that she thinks of love that way.

Lovely story all around.

thanks. i've never had a great handle on ann. i'm glad that it mostly worked.

(and there's no debate. ann or andi? c'mon. he'd better choose andrea.)

Glad she didn't win (because that would have meant more angst for m'boy) but glad too that she gave him a fight. No wonder she's ready to hurt him by the time The Leadership Breakfast rolls around. ;)

He can't do anything more than swallow because she's treading on his version of the truth, tipping the line with her fourth drink and squall colored eyes.

I love that whole sentence. And later, the idea of him using Andrea's name to shield himself. Lovely.

This fic makes me want a drink, in a good way.

[docfraiser8]

that's my favorite line too.
thanks. :)

I've always thought of Toby tied to two women, now... it's always gonna be three.

That was lovely. And Ann was so... perfectly Ann.

Toby as always is perfection.
