Aaaawww....*goes all melty* This is just beautiful. Smart woman, that Gwenny - I wonder if she had already guessed Phil's motivations. Cinnamon.

Thank you very much!

Hmm, I think Gwenny was aware at some level that Phil was jealous of her. But why would a photographer be jealous of a lady? Now she knows. ;)

Very cute; I love how dreamy Adrian seems, especially in his sleepy state toward the beginning.

And I think it is the perfect length! I wouldn't have had it any shorter. :D

Thank you very much! Dreamy Adrian in his kitchen, half asleep over his coffee cup, was the first image I had for this story, and I love it very much. So pleased you like him that way, too. :)

Oh, no, shorter definitely wasn't possible. Longer, yes, though I now think the story would have lost if it had been longer. (Though I can't help but thinking about a sequel-ish something...)

Hey! Good things come to those who wait: I posted a short sequel, The Duke's Happy Lover. :)

This is SUPER adorable, thanks so much for linking it in the Snuggle sequel so I could read it first :D

Just a note-since the rest is so beautifully and accurately written, I suspect this will make you squeak and jump quickly to fix it: "His Grace's eyes suddenly opened wide and his finger's gripped Phil's wrist tightly." One too many apostrophes in that sentence ;) Not enough to bother me, but I thought you might like to know!

Loved this, going to go read the sequel now <3

Thank you very much!

And thanks for pointing the overabundance of apostrophes out. I thought I'd edited that, but it seems not. *off to produce proper spelling*
