Part 2 of my series "Construction of the Heart"

I must take this opportunity to thank (in particular) the following reviewers: two toasters, GreenDress, VelvetMorning and desert island whose reviews inspired the storyline of this oneshot (and ultimately the continuation of "The Shortest Distance...").  Likewise, a thank you goes out to Cousin Mose who proposed the initial challenge that got the ball rolling on this series.  To girl7, who continues to encourage me and my writing endeavors and who is the most awesome beta ever.
