Oh, this is perfect...hurty and sad but sweet and happy (ish) at the same time. I can just feel how wonderful this would have been for her. And the nod to his having been married left something other than damage feels real and organic (and honest, for Bill).

Tears of Bill will always do me in. and Gratitude of Laura for little comforts.

Aww, thanks so much for the lovely comment.

I do think it's right for Bill that not everything about being married was bad. He's too nuanced a person to throw it all in the bin even after it ended badly.

Such a lovely moment/image.

I love this time period of their friendship. These little comforts fill me with so many feels.

Thank you! Really appreciate the read.

I too like this time in their friendship. On the one hand, it's more complicated because they're just at that stage of trusting each other. On the other hand, it's less complicated because both of them are less damaged than they are later in the series.
