Thanks for the encouragement, Lori. We definitely get a lot of the 
others' opinions!

I think you did a fine job, too, Sheryl! In response to your post: I 
like your idea/argument, (because I DO, of course, have a voyeuristic 
side:))but I'm wondering if it's just too late in the series for an 
in-depth look at any SHIP anyway. I mean, yes, we did get to witness 
H/C, but it wasn't destined to go anywhere, so the brief moment 
worked. Everybody's got an awful lot of fightin' ahead of them, it 
seems to me; I can imagine characters recognizing/acknowledging their 
feelings more fully in the midst of such drama, but I don't know that 
there's going to be much opportunity for a great deal of detail. With 
that in mind, I still hope for the R/H SHIP to come in!
