What a lovely story! And so seasonal - and at leasst I managed to read it in January!
I loved the way Doyle kept waking up in Bodie's bed - echoes of Groundhog Day and the inexorable conclusion creeping up on him! I loved that he was so scared that he ran away each time and didn't need to.
And I loved the way that it was the kisses that made things clear.
Thank you for writing and sharing.
I'm not apologising for being late - I frequently download stuff and read it after weeks! his was worth waiting for!
