Oh, very nice. I like the slow reveal about both their relationship and where they are. And of course I enjoy Bodie's panic and Doyle trying to stay with him--and the conversation they wind up having because of that.

The light in his eyes is dimmer than before. More than anything, Bodie fears the moment it gets snuffed out completely.
Angst fiend that I am, that's the line that got to me. *g* Ah, poor Bodie!

Thank you for this!
