And why the heck does he just climp into bed without making a pass at her????
Okay, seriously, the expired box of condoms with only one missing was kind of sad. Even more so, was that I questioned how many were in the box to begin with *G*
All in all, lots happening in this scene. And so, I think I'll have to read it a couple times to ensure I get all the under currents going on. ;-)
