Why this must be read:
This story has a uniquely intimate quality by virtue of the fact that it's told through Fraser's first person, present tense narration. It offers a slow, sweet slide into the passion that has been building between Fraser and Ray throughout their friendship, and partnership, and the events of Call of the Wild. I adore some of the imagery and the wonderful emotion in this story. It has a very sweet, and yet very real, feel to it and it makes you long for a cool winter's day to curl up with a warm drink and enjoy the wonderful pacing of its plot.

"You know, Frase," he says softly, "being with you, out here, I'm the happiest I've ever been."

I let my head fall more heavily against his, permit my body to lean into his, and his arm tightens around my shoulder. "I, as well, Ray," I whisper, remembering years of dark nights in Spartan lodgings when I didn't know enough to long for the vitality and joy he carried with him when he entered my life like a whirlwind.
