My “Arctic Night” is a slower, more romantic take on these characters, so go check that out if you liked them together :)
An enjoyable little follow up to Arctic Night. You are certainly on a roll here, so keep on writing lovely stories like this and you'll be a winner every time!
Very nice. A couple of ".... in Reykjavik" or ".... at Keflavik" moments, but otherwise, very good! Katja and Bríð are definite favorites.
So easy to get caught up in your creativity without realizing the connection with the beautifully written “Arctic Night”. Simply want to call attention to two of your lines/scenes that resonated in very different ways at the start and end of this piece: “… towing the suitcase behind her. One of the wheels was a bit wonky, and she needed to yank it every few steps to force it to follow smoothly.” OMG - happens to all of us, and put so well/easily while grounding us/your characters. The second occurred at the end of this piece: “Together they looked at the mess they'd made of the bed. “It's the art of us," said Katja softly and kissed her neck. "We should get that framed." Again, OMG, so romantic/ moving — captures their moment/their art. Seriously — beautiful. Thanks for continuing to share this relationship.
The awkwardness of meeting, the inconvenience of weather - how real, how lovely, how delightful!

A very romantic and loving short little story. The interaction between the characters and the flow of the story was perfect.
Sometimes a first of something can turn awkward …. Feelings bubble to surface we never knew exist ….. but with a little help from a friend ……. Lovely get together 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
