This was so beautiful! I love the addition of Wesley to push Reid to see what he really felt for Luke. I love that Luke finally made the move. Really great story Ali.

Thank you so much. Glad you liked the addition of Wesley and Luke finally making a move. ~Ali

I adore your writing its perfect. I could feel the attraction and their struggle to keep their distance from their true feelings. You have a talent for describing their relationship and their personalities with one sentence and how you construct them. This was so Reid - "You are nothing I ever expected and with anyone else, it would drive me crazy, but crazy with you is better than predictable with anyone else.” honest, sweet and a sense of humor. The ending is perfection to a beautiful story.

Oh on a side note - I liked Wesley, but of course not for Reid especially since Reid was using him to get over Luke. You have the ability and talent to create characters that are interesting, complex and flawed. While they make mistakes, I always care about the outcome.

Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate what you said about my writing, it means so much. Glad you liked that line about Reid and his life being crazy with Luke. I did like Wesley too, but not for Reid, as you said. Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovely comment. ~Ali

Ok. At first I thought the blonde with Luke at the Lakeview was Casey. When I hear about another blonde male, my mind auto goes with Casey. *turns red* But I love how Reid got jealous of Matt though. And how Wesley saw that there was something between Luke and Reid and decided that he wasn't going to be a part of that. I was hoping that Luke would go after Reid and tell him how he felt. Their conversation, their touches was written perfectly. And squeeeee. They are together. <3 Love this as always Ali. You are an fabulous writer!!!

Casey! That would have been fun, I suppose. I wrote this before Casey became such a fixture in ATIA, but I love that automatic response to go to Casey. :-) And I'm so glad you liked them together and everything else. Thank you so much, I always enjoy reading your comments. ~Ali

Thank you! And I have to agree, I don't think Luke had a right to get bent out of shape but it was funny to see. ;-) I normally don't use direct quotes from the show, but that line of Reid's was too good to pass up and I'm glad you enjoyed it being said to Luke instead of Noah. Glad you don't think I aged myself, I won't tell my age, but after writing that I wondered if anyone knew who The Smiths' were. ;-) Thank you for reading and leaving such a lovely comment. ~Ali

Again, poor Wesley. Wrong place and wrong time with Reid. I loved that even with other people they couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. They're like moths to a flame. Thankfully Luke took the initiative and went after Reid. I wish Reid would have, but it's in character for him to fall back on, for the lack of a better word, excuses then for him to put himself out there.

Again, I really loved this fic. Quite fantastic.

Yeah, poor Wesley, but maybe at a different hospital, he met a cute nurse (who wasn't interested in another guy)? :-) Like how you described them as being moths to a flame. Thank you! ~Ali
