Anyway, without further ado, and with grateful thanks to msmoat, who so generously injured herself to provide me with inspiration, here (behind

Lovely story and just what I needed today!

[elizabethoshea]

Ah, good. That's just what I needed to hear :). I'm very glad you liked it. Thank you!

Oh dear, I LOVE it!
Wonderful, wonderful pub scene, Doyle getting angry - wonderful!

And then realising just WHY Bodie acts that way!
Fantastic!
Your BB Story will be one hell of a read! Two such great writers which got the characters so RIGHT! So real!
I can see them there in the pub, in the parking lot....

Thanks a ton for sharing! Two tons, one for each.

[elizabethoshea]

Wow. Thank you :). I'm very pleased it worked for you.

We're about to buckle down to some serious work on the BB this week, so this was very encouraging. I hope we don't disappoint!

I love how Bodie's terrible bad taste joke is just an underpinning here to the emotional stuff, Very nice.

[elizabethoshea]

Thank you! I did want to give him some kind of reason (however tenuous) for behaving like that, otherwise I think Doyle would have been fully justified in just lamping him one and leaving him to it :)

This is wonderful. I love how Doyle makes the connection-a connection that makes all sorts of sense even though I didn't catch it until Doyle did.

[elizabethoshea]

That's very good to hear, thank you! Their ability to get to the bottom of what's up with each other at moments like these is one of the things I love about them.

Oh, my, what a show Bodie put on for that pub! Made me cringe and laugh at the same time.

[elizabethoshea]

Made me cringe to write it too! But I'm glad you laughed as well. Thank you!
