Words cannot express how much I love this story. It's so quiet and gentle. I like how everything is rather understated so far - you really capture a lot of intensity with few words/descriptions, and the hints about Jensen's background are sad and you just know something pretty heartbreaking must have happened to make him the way he is. Having said that, you also do a wonderful job of capturing Jensen's strength. It's great that he was able to get himself out of a full blown panic attack with a little help from Garrett, and then his uncertainty about how to act/respond to Jared, while heartbreaking, was also hopeful because Jensen went ahead and took a chance and did respond - and things went ok. Oh boy I could just go on and on and on, and as always I can't wait for more!more!more! :-)
