Lovely. Raw and unfiltered but still adorable and charming Jim is the best. Really wonderful.

I somehow have missed this one before - I hope you're still reading reviews for it. Because I loved it. Pitch perfect!

This story is still just as beautiful and powerful as it was the first time I read it way back when. In the midst of such a story drought, it's great to revisit a classic like this. I'm fairly certain this is the story that made me want to join MTT in the first place. Just beautiful.

I know this story was written awhile ago, but I just recently discovered it, and I keep coming back to it time and again. I've read it something like 10 times now, and it cheers me up every time. I love how free-flowing it is, but yet tight and to the point. Everything is wonderful and so in character. Wonderful job.

This is amazing! I just read it twice, and I think I am in love with it....

Loved it. And I like the run-ons. I tend to do the same thing.:)

Wow. If I was a better writer I'd have something more to say than just, "wow"..but I don't.

Wow.
Wow.
You wrote a first-person run-on-sentence-filled story, and I absolutely loved it.
Wow.

This is just lovely, so much so that I can't express it better than that. The tone and imagery give it a dream-like quality, but it's still very realistic. Which is damned impressive.
(And interior monologues are supposed to be run-on sentences. Never trust anyone whose innermost thoughts are grammatically correct!)

I love this story, and the run-on sentences. This is one of those types of stories that works really well with the long, run-on sentences. It gives it that certain flow.

I really, really like this. It's different (which is probably why I am leaving a review :)) I love how he's "horrible at dating" (which I can totally believe) yet he planned it well enough for them to be in the park at sunset. Reminds a bit of my own love and the night he proposed. He wasn't fabulous at dating either but he has always had a way of doing those little things.
I am a bit of a run-on sentence maker too. I enjoyed yours a lot.

Absolutely beautiful. The repeating image of the orange light is perfect. I love the use of the "fucking adorable" line.

I agree with nqllisi about how the run-on sentences work so well with this story. I loved it. I also agree with the others re the straps and the shoulders. Sigh.....

Having the story revolve around a light really worked well. The prose was so lovely, and I could really picture their date.

Your "run-on sentences" totally capture that tumultuous feeling of a first date. This is fantastic (not that I'm surprised).

Gah, so lovely. I'd like add myself to the list of people who love the kissing shoulders line.

I loved it! Such an amazing job at the Jim POV. I just want more.

I'm grateful for the little orange light that inspired you...I loved reading about their first date.

That was absolutely fantastic. LOVE this:
I’m horrible at dating and picked you up too early because I wanted to be there in that garden with you when the sun was setting so that I could see if your skin really would look beautiful against the dying day like I thought it would.

That was fantastic! Just achingly lovely. I love Jim POVs, and you do not disappoint!

so lovely...just really really beatuful.

Chelsea just posted the exact line that made me swoon.
Well done - evocative, but grounded. Does that make sense?
Date: July 19, 2006 10:04 pm Title: Chapter 1
I have absolutely no self control anymore and I’m kissing your shoulders, pushing the straps aside.
Hottest thing to imagine Jim doing, ever.

Beautiful, as usual.
