hee. i win.

They may ask Sam the best route someplace, but it’s Toby they’ll ask how long the journey will take.
For some curious reason, this is my favorite line. I should be drooling over the Toby/Andy part but...this clinches the theme for me. So this and the very first line have me.

It's even more fantastic every time I read it.

I loved that line too, because it rang soooo true and Tobyesque to me.

You may drool over any part you choose, seeing as it was your present, my love. But I admit a fondness (if it's not too vain to have a fondness for your own lines...) to both the line you mention, and the one that Clrface mentions. I miss him. Them.

There are a few of my own that I love a bit too much. But not because they're really that good. Just because they are exactly what I wanted at that moment.

Yesyesyesyesyes. So fucking Toby. The language in this is polished and smooth - love "neon-lit and on continual countdown" particularly. And you know how the last three sentences kill me.

Thank you for posting. Sooo much. ♥

"neon-lit and on continual countdown"
That is the other part that caught my attention. Great combination of words there.

[jackmaybenimble]

I &hearts you. Not that it's news, but still needs saying. SHe is neon-lit to him, always there.

I wish I could kill you more often (so to speak)

THank you for wanting it.

(And I think your icon was made for this.)

[soaked_in_stars]

She issssss. She is she is.

(If only people could icon our imaginations. Sigh.)

He knows to the second the length of time it takes from the Press Room to CJ’s office, how many steps from his own office to everywhere else in the building.

While I love the other lines mentioned, this is the one that resonates for me.

I like your words. So pretty.

[jackmaybenimble]

Welcome back. (Which probably goes for me too, I guess...)

Toby knows all. He knows it, and he thinks it. He doesn't need to say it. He's a watcher. And I love that about him.

I like that you like. Moose!girl.

This is beautifully done, darling. Time and Toby. Fantastic.

[jackmaybenimble]

Thank you, my love. (Not to mention kudos for having an icon so fitting!)

I have a thing for time. And also a thing for Toby, so it seemed a good pairing. x

Oh, I am SO glads Maeve persueded you to post, because that has to be one of the loveliest things I've ever read. So quiet, and introspective, and that love at the end. ::wibble::

[jackmaybenimble]

new visitors. How lovely. Maeve is good at persuasion. Plus she sent soaked_in_stars round and she knows how to wield a 2x4. (I taught her.)

Quiet and introspective is a lovely thing to say, very much my sytle and oftentimes, myself.

I'm a girl that likes a happy ending.

I think the two of us make one of the better poking teams in LJ history. We're too stubborn for our own good.

[jackmaybenimble]

You're as good at it as bexatious. I need say no more.

(Plus, your icon just made me laugh out loud. TO the consternation of the other 2 people left in this massive building.
