Heh, I can just imagine Ray's reaction if he thinks Bodie is getting all sentimental about the zoo. ;-) Especially if he keeps trying to go back for anniversary dates.

And actually, I hadn't thought about it at all (hey, I'm just the writer!), but you're right - if Ray hadn't hit on Bodie, Ray would be dead. Their love saved them! *happy sigh* But I doubt Ray would appreciate having that pointed out for him either. At least not initially.

I'm very happy you enjoyed the story! Thank you so much for the feedback!
