Well, obviously you had me at 'bonded', hon, you know how much I love that! :) This really was a gift they were desperately in need of, and I love the idea of a goddess making them unable to not communicate. Too many things unsaid and repressed between these two, so I really enjoyed the way this connection unfolded between them. It was also a nice change that they didn't have to actually hunt and kill any monsters this time, but could just pacify the goddess and could help Tara to a better life. So once more you gave us a great fic, hon, thank you!
