Re: An Unexpected Gift - PG-13
I can't count the number of times I've read this beautiful little vignette, and it still puts a big lump in my throat every time.
Many of us have commented on your amazing last line. It is so full of wonderfulness, and I'm really glad that Beth says what she says to Mick. But today, the part that just got to me was the fact that she shuddered... ohhhhh, that was so evocative. Who among us wouldn't shudder in total bliss at that exact moment?

Re: An Unexpected Gift - PG-13
On another website some of us agreed that one of the saddest things about Sonata was that Beth never responded when Mick said he loved her. Then I come here and find this lovely story of yours. Thanks so much for this; it really sums up what we would have loved to have heard between Mick and Beth. Just loved it! Happy birthday and thank you for this lovely gift.

While revisiting old challenges I had to pop up this little gem. All Mick Beth in a so few words.

Re: An Unexpected Gift - PG-13
I think I've officially become a stalker of this story.
This time, the thing that struck me most was the fact that Mick was so distracted by Beth's breast that he had to ask her to repeat herself.
I mean... could there BE a more perfect man?!? No. There couldn't.
