It's like Thanksgiving. I'm thankful I found your writing b/c the way you string words together is so wonderful.

This is beautiful writing. I absolutely loved it. Succinct but perfectly rendered--nothing more was needed, nothing left wanting. Just a wonderful portrait of the "after" of Jim and Pam. It could be anyone, really, but it's perfect for them. Excellent, excellent job.

Your ability to paint such lovely, moving pictures with words never ceases to astound me. Hehe.. listen to me sounding all flowery! Such a great little piece, love it!

Oh, this is so beautiful. I could see it and feel it as I was reading it.
This is my favorite part:
When the moon hung big and low in the window, she watched its glow stretch across the expanse of skin between her own hips where he had his fingers splayed. And she was thankful to be able to whisper that she loves him when his fingertips moved enough to tell her he would listen. She was thankful for his lips soft against her neck and his sleepy, softly murmured response that rumbled through her before they fell backwards into sleep again

Aww. This is incredibly sweet andwell-written. I love this line, especially: "freedom of being in love with him and not just being in love"-- the distinction is excellent. Great job!

Absolutely lovely.

Gorgeous imagery. Everything about this is content and warm and happy and so, so full of the something that makes what they have exactly what it is. Love the beginning and the ending, and line about finding the spaces between his ribs with her fingertips. Lovely.

You amaze me with your ability to describe a scene but convey an emotion. Beautiful, hopeful, joyful, and reverent. It's just...love in its essence.

Oh, Erin. This may be my favorite of all you've written. From the big things, like the hushed, tactile atmosphere you create, to the little things, like not using the same word twice in a paragraph... it's just brilliantly written.
Amazing: an ear pinned to his heart... locusts and sirens and neighborhood dogs... the tips of her fingers finding the spaces between all of his ribs...
Keep writing forever, please :)

This captures intimacy so beautifully. Wonderful!

She was thankful for finally and the freedom of being in love with him and not just being in love.
That pretty much says it all. This is so intimate and warm and sleepy and just exudes the sense of that perfect moment. No complicated plots, no wackiness or melodrama...just the thing itself. I love that quietness and simplicity.(Eyes like long blades of grass...just exquisite.) Makes me feel like writing something again. Thanks for that.

This is absolutely beautiful. Just gorgeous prose. And of course a lovely sentiment and happy, happy pictures. Love like laughter... wonderful. I'm gonna hang on to that phrase :)

This made me long for summer, and the love that can only sometimes exist then. Beautifully written, as always, I'm adding this to my faves.

Poetry, sheer poetry, every line. Especially this one:
his sleepy, softly murmured response that rumbled through her before they fell backwards into sleep again
Another one for the Favorites file...

God, you're just an amzing writer. This reads like a beautiful poem. Graceful, graceful stuff. I sholdn't admit this, but I had a slight fear that you would stab us at the end by revealing the "she" to be Karen just to show how angsty you could be. I was relieved you didn't.
