From Bodie that amounted to an ‘I love you’, ‘I trust you’ and a ‘get-the-fuck-on-with-it’ all in one.

There you go. That's them. *g* This was wonderful! I love it. Now, really, what were you worried about, eh? This is one of the best stories you've written! Lucky us! *g* I love the "do do you" line--heh--and, oh, so much more about it. It's sweet and funny, with just enough angst to make the love all that more real and effective. Great job! And thank you so much for the Christmas present!
