I will work hard to deserve it.<br /><br />You're absolutely right about Catherine. How happy - and how lonely - she has been on her side of the river.<br /><br />Vincent and Flynn do have character in-common, Vincent's escalated ... elevated, even.

I'm printing your comment out to use to keep me on track.<br /><br />Thank you for liking the word 'steadfastness'.

I love the way you convey Eimear's ability to read and understand her husband, and the struggle she goes through to walk the fine -- almost invisible! -- line between the comfort she wishes to give him and the comfort he is willing to accept at this point.

But no matter.<br /><br />Do we teach this stoic solitude to the male of the species, or is it innate?
