Ok, so I've long enjoyed your humorous stories. But seeing you do these kind of soft and sweet friendship stories has been a real treat.

I really loved this story. The scene is so gentle (for lack of a better word at the mo') that it made me melt a little. And your depiction of the characters is lovely -- it's very much like Kahlan to need to provide comfort and for Cara to allow it, but warily and without admitting to weakness. Very nicely done.

Thanks for sharing!
