Owl has been leaning hard on me to get my act together and get all my stories posted. Thank you, Owl, for applying that arm lock (in the nicest, most persistent way possible). This one originally appeared as part of the H&M Virtual Season 4 effort. Many thanks to Cheride, who set up and managed the original homestead site (still up and running).

A few years ago, we did a Virtual Season 4 for Hardcastle and McCormick, and some of our best writers contributed. A few were never posted here, and I'm proud to present one from our fandom's best writer - L.M. Lewis. An internet search should turn up our 4th season if you haven't read those "episodes" yet. Enjoy!
