I can not imagine Sarah Connor in snow gear in Wyoming and I can not imagine Derek sitting in a small town diner, fitting in, even when he's under cover. And yet you made me imagine both of those things rather successfully.

Heh. Thank you. I can imagine Sarah Connor in snow gear. She's got a proper pissed off look on her face and it makes me giggle ;-) She's definitely not a cold weather person.

This is what makes your Sarah and Derek work so well for me. They might take advantage of having the house to themselves for a few hours, but you never let let them — never let us — forget what they're about.

Too right. I can't see them cuddling or snuggling or going out on a date. And, if the circumstances ever warranted it, I can see Sarah taking John and disappearing and Derek letting her - no missing person reports, no doorstep pleas, no persistent offers to help. Because that's just the way the two of them roll.

heehee. Good ol' Cam.

*laughs*. I guess Cam's been reading my back catalogue...

That whole scene between Sarah and John is just beautiful. I love the emotional connection there and how she sees his guilt, recognizes the nightmares in him and shares her strength.

Kinda happened by accident that scene, but I was very happy with the way it turned out :-)
