(arysani from eljay) this was really sweet. i love him thinking that she couldn't possibly be interested, and her being right up-front with him. makes me think of "the goodbye girl"..."of all the up-front girls i know, you are the right up-frontest".
and i just love this pairing, and it seems we see so little of it. it really shows her depth as a character, in her love for him, because he's kind of a rock-star with his fang earring despite having an up-standing sort of job, and she just seems so delicate and suzy-homemaker but she cares for him so much - it really does seem rather like a fairytale.
