Thanks so much, to both of you; I really appreciate the comments on this one.

Since it was so short (and I’d planned to do more, but life got in the way) I’m trying to write a follow-up of some sort that’s a little more explicit like I got asked for.

This new one, however, is coming along alright. Just late, with classes and job taking up a good bit of my time.

I thought this was the most difficult request of the lot this time, but you fulfilled the challenge beautifully.
Although it is not explicit, the relationship still feels a bit odd, uneasy, or indeed complicated – these two are not an everyday happy couple. (Which is just as well, given the subject.) Great job!

Thank you for this! It was wonderful and the last line was simply perfect!
