Wow. I have tried several times to go back and read this from the beginning but it kept exceeding my angst-o-meter limits. I finally worked my way thought it and am glad I did.
All the way back the the original TV shows, I have been amazed at the fact that you have two people whose job is to communicate, that continually fail so miserably when communicating with each other. I guess that is one of the things that makes their relationship special. Being the fan of happy/sappy outcomes that I am, I am glad to see that they are FINALLY communicating. I hope that is a light at the end of the tunnel and not just a train heading their way.
In any case, angst and all I have found the story to be very entertaining.
