Whoo Hoo! Katie's back!
Katie, this is wonderful! I absolutely love it. I can't believe you hesitated to post this. This was beautifully done. I loved the way she realized that she could trust him with her insecurities. This is my favorite time in their relationship, when they are just on the verge of friends and lovers. I've always felt like there were so many times that had things been just *slightly* different, they would have got together sooner. Fanfics are our way of exploring these scenarios, and I'm glad you explored this one!
