That was fabulous, just about perfect!!!!!

I have read sooooooooo many stories where Jim is a hard ass and Blair is a fragile weakling....and that is just wrong. You captured them perfectly, especially the dialog which was spot on. this was the first story I have read on your page, but I'll be reading them all in short order.

My fav line:

.... the idea he could just up and die from missing Blair was absurd to the extreme. But the numbness that had started at the river had spread to Jim's face. It felt like he had frostbite, as if the skin of his cheeks and forehead was dead. And everything looked darker.

Like he was losing the light.....

Perfect.
