Summary: In the aftermath of Doyle’s rescue from the clutches of a vicious, sadistic gang, the partners become closer than ever.
However it's obvious that Doyle is deeply scarred from his ordeal. In an effort to help him, Bodie takes him away from the pressures of London for a short stay in the quiet English countryside.
There, they meet a charming, enigmatic man whose interest in Bodie undermines Doyle’s confidence even further.
Can Bodie ever bring happiness and security to the man he loves, or will Doyle be lost to him forever?

Notes: Heartfelt thanks to both MLM for the inspiration and help and to Rozel for being a wonderful reader and editor.

Happy Posting Day!!! All the slogging is finally over and now you get to enjoy the adulation. Margaritas are available on the newly-renamed Past-The-Post Patio, so pull up a chair, make yourself comfy, and congratulate yourself on a job well done. (I'll be back later to leave more feedback and top up your glass.)

I do love a good hurt/comfort story - especially when Doyle is the hurt and Bodie is the comfort. This was well written, well plotted, well paced with good characterization. I thought it a great idea to bring Jay back to help he and Doyle close a painful chapter in both their lives. Well done, you! Congratulations on a great read!

For anyone that might not of realised (or met her) the character of 'Thelma' the worker in the shop, was based entirely on our own dear Moonlightmead. She was the person who forced me kicking and screaming into submitting it for a Big Bang. I will love and miss her always.
