Thanks so much for writing this. I loved the format and the transition to listening and talking with their bodies and minds. It was a perfect detail to have them need to touch each other at all times. It is such a tender resolution and just feels like it will just work out. They are ready to stay calm together and appreciate each other because they know what they gave up by acting rashly before.
the squeeze she gives his hand is more than he had dared to hope.
I especially like how you had Desmond tell her everything right away from Kelvin to Charlie. You captured how tough it was for him to confess all this out loud and his fear at having her hear it. I get the sense that that Desmond still needs to make peace with himself but having Penny's understanding in the open will make this easier. And by day six, there is enough recovery between them to allow for jokes about lima beans.
