Quotes[]
Tracy had every intention of leaving but something nagged at her before she mentally kicked herself for her thoughtlessness. “Hey Nick,” she started and felt the heat from her blushing cheeks. “I just realized, with all the confusion and stuff, I never told you how sorry I am about Schanke and Captain Cohen.”
She hadn’t known Nick Knight very long, but the brief look of surprise told Tracy that her words of condolence had caught him off guard. It was the briefest of expressions, but Tracy saw it.
Comments[]
- "You've managed to capture Tracy's observations concerning her partner very well. I like the way the story comes full circle at the end when Tracy recognizes the look on Nick's face and remembers that she saw the same look when Schanke died." - comment by pj1228 on LJ[2]
- "Tracy and Nick's partnership didn't have the history nor the ups and downs that Nick and Schanke's did but there was never a doubt in my mind that Nick didn't hold a lot of affection for her. - reply by Abby82
- "Though I'm not a Tracy fan, I must say I loved this fic. You didn't just capture the many facets of Nick Knight, but you also captured the aspects of Tracy's personality and life as well. Everything from her overbearing father to the intellect under the pretty blonde looks, you simply nailed it without overselling it." - comment by gnosticdiva on LJ
