Many thanks, Mrs. Q! I'm so pleased that you're enjoying this; it's a bit intimidating, writing a new pairing, but I'm glad that it seems to be a rewarding read.

I did worry about them getting sentimental, but thankfully they stopped, lol. They can both be quite serious, but Seamus' nature is pretty ebullient, unless he's pissed off, of course.

So glad that you're finding this a rewarding read; I'm really enjoying spinning this tale of both likely and unlikely joinings.
