I GIVE YOU A GRAPEFRUIT AND YOU COME UP WITH THIS?! HOW Is THAT POSSIBLE?!

Your muse is so strange, yet so incredible!

You keep everything so darn in character, I hate it!!!

This was too adorable and the Juliet insight was too perfect and absurdly sweet, of course I liked it!!

You make me sick!!

Love the cologne/aftershave - the idea of Shawn refusing to tell her - great!

That was awesome.  I love grapefruits myself but they can be evil and blind you.  I love the little details you interweave into the story and Shawn would be happy and proud that you mentioned his hair gel and hair :)

Oh, grapefruit, who knew you came with so many possibilities?

When I started reading this all I got was an image of Juliet trying to do forensic work on some evidence, which I guess in a way she was. She was examining Shawn, seeing the way he moved and acted, even smelled. It was almost as if every moment she’s around him she’s getting a new insight into what makes him… him. She took in his breathing, how gentle and simple it was; despite his normally energetic exterior his breathing told differently. Shawn has a calm side and this time the calm is surrounding him and Juliet together, in closeness. He’s not nervous, his breathing tells that much, having Juliet close to him has become something or normal for him. He lets his breathing display his comfort around Juliet like almost nothing else can.

Juliet takes in his scent, so much of it giving her everything she wants. The smell, and source of the smell, brought them together for the their first real kiss. Now it means love and happiness for Juliet. She takes it all in, savoring it for what it means and what it could mean. She can tell all of his smells at this point, his hair gel, deodorant, cologne and aftershave – it’s all him and every time she smells it she knows he’s the only thing that will come to mind. So she takes it in and commits it to memory. It’s almost all she can do to take him with her everywhere she goes. Any time she passes something with his smell there will be nothing else for her to do but pause for a split second, inhale and keep on moving about life as normal when her and Shawn are anything but.

You achieved something to great for your – and our – own good her. Congratulations!

Wow. Does each reviewer get a free insulin injection? ;)

I loved this little jaunt through Juliet's head. It's so, so . . . *flails hands* . . . sweet, down-to-earth, unangsty, and so simple and complicated at the same time. Yeah, I don't know how to describe it. I guess we can revert back to the time-honored method and say it was really good. Well done. :)

I love this,  SO sweet!!!  Are you a James Gurney fan?  This was wonderful descriptive piece!

Author's Response:

I am indeed!  I *LOVE* the whole idea of Dinotopia, though one of the movie versions of it SUCKED.  Literary form rocks, though. :D

And thanks for the awesome review!  I'm so glad you liked it!

Yay! That's great! I love this.

Oh, and is it from Dinotopia?

Author's Response:

HOLY CRAP.  I EXPECTED IT EVENTUALLY, BUT NOT THE FIRST REVIEW.  WITHIN MINUTES OF POSTING.

Okay you definitely get a fic for that.  I just need a character, an object, and another prompt of your choosing. :D

Oh, and thanks for the review! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
