The best part of my week is seeing an update from you about this fic!

A little unsure when Luke had the cash, because Noah (and me) really doesn’t want this relationship to be transactional. But you really turn it around, because when they discuss it they both admit that what they want, which I know has to be very difficult for the both of them.

But I like how Noah seems to hedge, telling Luke that he’s leaving, letting Luke think that he’ll be gone sooner than later. I feel like he’s testing Luke and Luke’s response, was pretty good. And I love how Luke automatically offers to help use his “reporter” skills.

I loved that kissing, because as Noah said, it’s so much more intimate, and that really shows how much Noah wants Luke and wants more than the “job” connection, because of that intimacy. It was sweet and then when Noah panicked, my heart constricted. There is an innocence in them making out on the couch and Noah can’t do innocent. But where is Luke? Right there with him, helping him, comforting him.

Complete brilliance? This line: The buffet of pale skin beneath him almost overwhelms his plans.

Okay, hope I haven’t overwhelmed you with my gushing. I’ll stop now. Brilliant chapter as always! ~Ali
