OMG YOUR STORY IS AMAZING! PLEASE WRITE MORE LIKE THIS! YOU ARE A GREAT WRITER!

I kinda wish I could see the sketch!

"Kate…" he begins intently and shrugs a little: "Do you think that…. somewhere down the track….you know, after we get everything settled at work, and….after I meet your family and, ah….do you think that, one day….. you might marry me?"

That was so frickety fracking adorable I can't formulate words...

His response to her question is perfect. Just lovely.

His offendedness (that isn't a word, but can't for the life of me find the real one) had me snorting with laughter.

Evil Kate *evil laughter*

"Well, that was…" he nods and coolly smoothes one hand over the table cloth. He clears his throat: "Possibly the sexiest thing I've ever witnessed in my life," he admits and I giggle low in my throat, with satisfaction.

I grinned so hard..

"She smiles and I take an excessive amount of satisfaction from the fact that I have made this woman positively glow with happiness."

Just... Awwwww...

The cabin is somewhat like its owner, I note fondly. Quiet, concealed, sturdy and rather charming, in its own rough-around-the-edges kind of a way.

Hahaha I love this!

And this made me giggle even more...

Gibbs pulls back and looks at me funny: "You giving me ideas, Agent Todd?" he asks disapprovingly.

"Trying to, Agent Gibbs," I mumble impatiently, nipping at his lips: "Can I help it if you're getting slow in your old age?"

Absolutely amazing story one of the best I've read

This was gorgeous! thank you so much for sharing it. Kate/Gibbs's lack of a relationship and her death are the two things that i dislike the most about NCIS. So, thank you for giving them their happy moments together. :p (yeah, i'm THAT much of a dork. _)

very good...very very good.

as always, mindy...best story ever...

I read this version... and curiosity got the best of me, so I read the other as well. VERY GOOD job on both of them. You are an AMAZING writer! :)

Fabulous...I loved what you did with the characters in this. Making them a couple without losing who they are and developing who they are with each other. Loved it!
