It's 2017 and I have read this twice already. you write so well!

Stumbled on this wonderful story and couldn't help but think about what the next chapter will bring. Everything, from Tony's musings to Ziva's tone, was perfect. Love, love, love the simplicity of this story

oh i love it more please

I stumbled onto this story via another author's favorites list. LOVEd the whole thing, but especially this last chpt. It's weird but I really don't remember reading or seeing a lot of fics about this item on the bucket list- but loved the way you dealt with it! Very imaginative.

Not what I expected at all after that first chapter, but not without a great deal of merit. I was hoping for more introspection from Ziva regarding Eli during the Somalia summer...getting his unspoken revenge for leaving the child alive. On the other hand, what you have said brought them to where they are now - together in a broken elevator. Wonder what next summer might bring.

Thanks for posting this for us to read.

Wow. Simply amazing.

I LOVE this story! I really liked your take on what could happen at the end of season 9 and Tony and Ziva are just so cute! xD

What a great end to a wonderful story! I like that it wasn't just a 'happily ever after' ending; it was very realistic but hopeful as well. I just truly enjoyed this and can't wait to read some of your other works. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Absolutely brilliant and a pleasure to read.

really really good

*Sniffles and chokes* lol...

This was sweet :) and I agree; seven years is a LONG time to pretend.

It's a lovely last chapter, and I love how Tony was watching out for McDrunkard and the autopsy gremlin. And I love Ziva's texts!

The dance moment: it was sweet, if not sad D:

And I really love the ending.

This is a beautiful story; thanks for writing it!

Yay! I'm so glad, she didn't say yes to Ray.

I'm sad this story is ending though.

This may be my favorite yet; it's just, just beautifully written. It's wonderful humor (Great, his personal Jiminy Crickets were Israelis with a limited grasp of idioms. *SNORT*) but mixed in with some incredible thought and care. Love it!
