oh holy shit. this story is killing me and i haven't even finished reading it yet. killing in the good way. :-) god, that's *totally* what happens when you find out something you shouldn't have about someone. i just got to the hand-cuff sex (hot!) and waking up together and breakfast part. and i kind of want to wring all their necks (especially Elizabeth's!) or hug them or something. i'm amazed at how you took those two lines on the postcard and turned them into *this*...
