Why this must be read:

Out of words, Amita squeezed David's hand, and he squeezed back very gently. Charlie leaned forward a little, his hand on David's shoulder, and said, "What color is the sky on Mars?"

Charlie had to have a point, he always did eventually, but Amita had no idea what it could be. At least David was distracted, blinking in confusion. "Um, red?"

Charlie shook his head, in full explanatory mode. "Actually, it's approximately butterscotch, but we didn't know that until the probes sent back color pictures. Our best models before then -- our best math -- indicated a rust-colored sky."

After a moment of waiting to hear what that had to do with anything, Amita nodded. "So...?"

This is a post Janus List ‘Make David Feel Better’ fic written in Ruby Nye’s almost poetic style.

The sex is hot but it’s almost secondary to the way Charlie, Amita and David interact.

Charlie and Amita are at their strongest in this story determined to make David forget about Colby for at least a night. And the descriptions are rich and textured making you almost feel like you are in the room with them.
