This is great, Aka. I love how everyone sees right through him, even we he denies it to himself.

You never knew when it would come in handy. And this gave me chills.

Thank you, m'dear.

Poor Joe. He's so in denial. *pets him* I'm glad you enjoyed this - it turned out to be a difficult story to get down...

Thank you, Aka, for not burning. I would not have wanted to miss this. Your Joe (calculating but desperate) is perfect and I ache for him.

[verushka70]

Yay! You did it! And -- Oh, Joe. His nervousness and desperation are so raw by the end, the angst is palpable.

*shakes head* Joe, Joe, Joe, how you love lying to yourself, both about Billy and how this time was going to be different. Marvelous look into his head and how he put together the benefit.

[vsee]

Ah, gods, that's the stuff, honey. *wallows*

Thanks, V. I'm glad you liked it.
