Wow, this was poignant. I like how you took a very real experience and made it work for them. It' spot on! I like how your Kelly isn't a chatterbox- there's some calm in that girl!

That was pretty much perfect :)

It would be there at dinner with them, or at the breakfast table, lounging in his cereal spoon. It would be at the bar where they met his friends, only materializing in the dimly lit hallway leading to the bathroom. It would be buried between the white and pink sheets of her bed, the words even stealing their way from his own lips one night while he was inside of her.
I'm always impressed by people who can write lyrically about silly Kelly and smug Ryan. Kudos, you!

I really enjoyed this story! There is so much more to the Ryan/Kelly relationship than meets the eye, so I love when people explore their dynamic. I think you filled in some of the blanks of their relationship without compromising either of the character's personalities. Thanks for the story : )

How sweet! And how Ryan - to only realize that he loves her and be able to say it when he really needs her. Oh Ryan. I LOVE this, btw: at the breakfast table, lounging in his cereal spoon

Very nice. Great job writing Kelly and Ryan. Loved Kelly's sentence with "I love you" stuck in the middle, and how she said it in ways that took the pressure off of him to say it back and "commit" to it when he wasn't yet ready. I think this is very true to the Kelly and Ryan characters. Thanks for this.

Amazing job, DinkinFlicka! I loved this! Ryan was perfectly Ryan, and I loved the way that Kelly saved his ass and that it took something like that for him to really appreciate her.
I like the way that Kelly didn't say 'I love you' back, as if she was afraid that he'd redact it, and I like that he didn't redact it.
He helped her shrug her coat on when her arm got stuck in the sleeve and he let her take his hand in the elevator.
So sweet, and I love this whole thing.

Wow. This is really nice because it doesn't make their relationship a joke (although it can be very funny). It's a very honest look at Ryan's POV on the situation. I just loved it. And this line struck my as especially true:
He figured that she had been itching to say it since about day four, but had been holding out in hopes that he would beat her to the punch.

Great writing--I think you've done a great job portraying Kelly's and Ryan's personalities here. I really enjoy the occaisonal Ryan/Kelly fic. Even though their's isn't the passionate all consuming love story that Pam and Jim have, they're very sweet together--and I think you've captured that perfectly.

What? A happy non humour non making fun of Kelly and/or Ryan Ryan/Kelly fic? Has that ever been done before? Even if it has, your are certainly a trailblazer among us.
Author's Response: Hmm, so does that mean you liked it? ;) Hope so! I really enjoy Ryan and Kelly's characters, there is so much under the surface there. I (sometimes unfortunately) often find myself really identifying with Ryan's character, even as a girl.
