OMG tim's turkey baster comment had me crying with laughter! That was great
As much as I understand where Tobyn is coming from, he frustrates me. I honestly think if he knew he and Keller were earth mates it would actually strengthen his resolve to keep their distance. After what happened when Fendral lost his mate, he sees an earth mate as a potential liability, not a blessing, and I think K realized that during their conversation in the truck. Eventually I believe the pull is going to be too strong to ignore, but how much damage to their hearts is he going to do while he tries to walk away... or let K leave?
K frustrates me for a lot of the same reasons. They're both good men, trying to do the right thing, and ripping each other, and themselves, apart in the process. I can't wait to see what this road trip brings. The proximity is only going to strengthen the bond their hearts feel, regardless of how stubborn their minds are.
