I really liked it but in a way i felt scared for them as they risk a wonderful friendship.
Hmmmm…just another in a long line of consistently great stories. What a gift!
Nicely done. Love isn't all hot, lusty passion, it's quiet camaraderie too. In the end, the bulk of any couple's time together is outside the bedroom and if they aren't compatible clothed it won't matter how good they are together naked.
Can someone really be as dense as John was? For many years they traveled together and he never figured it out? What a waste! 3*
No doubt this is romantic but...but...but...
Their long-time, very effective and satisfying, business partnership just ended abruptly.
He was portrayed as an insensitive idiot.
She's about to give up many years of independence, a very painful process and for what? Remember that eternal verity - no-one is easy to live with (no, not even you)!
The odds are that within a year she'll wish she was back where she was before.
A hot and descriptive sex session would ruin a very good romantic story. There were a couple of passages that I could relate to in my life. The closest was being married and yet feeling love for someone who is also a friend. The need to avoid a relationship with a married partner that would be too difficult to end if it resulted in a short romp in bed was so real. From a technical point of reference I worked in an electronics lab assembling a breadboard from schematics and often saw the lead technician look at the schematic and identify a problem before we assembled to product to see it didn't work as desired and then make the changes the lead tech recommended to get it working as desired. I'd tell you more but I'm not sure if the project's classification is still valid.
As long as they enjoyed the sex all is well because I enjoyed the story. I think it's a great romance story, thanks.
Change the value of one of the capacitors (changing the T4 charge time) to eliminate the chip logic race condition - simpler.

The bigger issue is when they get married will that mess up their working conditions due to fraternizing policies? Maybe best to live together and hold off marriage until she gets pregnant.

Seen this many times over the years, glad it works for them.

Lovely story. Including the messy mechanics of sex would detract from the story - they loved and made love - don't need more detail than that.
Your instinct was correct, of course. This story didn’t required heavy breathing and the lewd details of sexual coupling. What it required was provided very well, an intimate depiction of the recognition of a long dormant love.
Wonderful story. Perfect just the way you wrote it. A sex scene was unnecessary and would have detracted from the story. ❤️
I think the story is stronger without a sex scene. Well written, and credible.
Excellent choice to avoid the sex scene. It would have cheapened the story.
I search LE/LW for stories by GOOD writers. I love the the devotees of incest, Trans, glorification of the BBC, which is a myth, swinging. These are all things that disgust me. Great writers like you, Todd 172, Saddle Tramp and 10 others write good Stories with the sex woven in in a natural and appropriate position and, at that, does not go on forever.
To many, mist really, of the writers here use the story as a framework to write pointless porn..
You are a writer with talent who has no need to use sex as a crutch for the story.
The story works as it is and it's a very good story. Sometimes and this is one of those times when less is more. BardnotBard
