This was completely adorable. And I loved Taylor! LOL She was absolutely perfect for Sean.

The pacing was lovely -- just two boys falling in love. Nicely done.

ahaha thank you! funny that you mentioned pacing - I struggled a bit with that in draft and ended up moving things around to keep the pacing consistent - always good to know when something worked :D

This story harkened back to so many of your earlier school boy fics, and I loved it. Elijah was particularly rooted, a perfect teacher to Orlando's privileged world innocence. In my mind, when the next fatherly pursuit of a new golf green arises, Orlando will remain behind to become one more addition to the already busy Wood household. And drawing on a Rudy-type Sean was inspired. Thank you so much for surprising us with this story. ♥

I liked the pacing too - I thought the vignette-style short scenes worked really well to capture how much in love they are. I really enjoyed this whole fic - the characters are perfect and it's very heart-warming. Thanks for sharing this. ♥

Ah, that was wonderful. The text messaging and the hand-written notes were such fun. :) I loved watching their relationship develop. They were both so surprisingly different. It felt really fresh. Lovely fic.
