Hello!! I'm so happy to hear from you. Don't worry about being late, this is a completely insane time of year. As soon as the month started I became completely incapable of responding to the awesome fics/art that were posted here so I sympathize.

I kind of figured that the first scene was the one that was most true to the "late night talks" prompt, but I have a bad habit of expanding to excess sometimes. I'm really glad that scene accomplished what you wanted.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's very satisfying to know that you liked the way the fic came out. I hope you had a wonderful holiday (even if it was crazy) and I hope 2010 is fantastic for you!
