I've read this story multiple times and it still makes me cry... Why...

Loved it

Cried. Cried hard. _'

So I read this a few nights ago, dear, when I couldn't sleep. And I cried. Just thought I'd let y'know, you know.

I mean, the-the whole quitting thing, and the reasoning behind it. And when she offers to not date anyone and all that... Then gosh, the lines '"Then you got together with Rivkin, and I...fell in love with you. Spent a lot of nights wondering if it could've been different. Hated myself for not loving you when I had the chance." He stopped and gulped. "I don't believe in soul mates, Zi. All that talk about being made for each other...you moved on. I missed my chance. I know that. I'm not making excuses for it. It's just...it's hard. And I'm sorry about what I'm doing now, but I have to. I can't do this...not anymore."' My feelings. My babies. I just... *I* can't do this anymore.

And then '"Then how can you wonder if I still love you?" In the pin-drop silence of the room, something that sounded like a sob came out of his throat. "You still love me?" ' Just... I was such a complete wreck at this point, I could hardly read the damn thing! Seriously.

Before I pick this whole thing to tearful pieces, I'll tell you my favourite line. ' "Tony, I want to do this properly...with Ray. I want to break up with him first, before we go anywhere. But I want you to know that...I love you." ' Because I can just hear that in my head. And it's so good.

Keep 'em coming, m'love.

-A very tearful Kiera. x

This was absolutely, amazingly, breathtakingly, awestrikingly *insert more adjectives here* beautiful. Just the way I can see it all going down. Perfect.

That was absolutely awesome! i really hope that something similar would happen during the show :)Thank you for sharing :)

cute, sad and sweet, it really made me cry!

Really liked this story. Ziva has always been the one putting herself out there for Tony and I don't think I'll ever forget her concern for his health while he was with Jeanne. What started then lead to her walls being built up over time and the subsequent fall out with Tony over Rivkin and her experience in Somalia. She's a deeply complex and flawed character, but I think that her love for Tony has always been obvious which is why I really love this story. That line about how she still wanted happiness? I think it perfectly described her relationhips with Rivkin and Ray. This is all the more apparent when she ended things with Ray when she found out the truth and the hurt that passes through her face when Tony says that he's good with EJ, that he understands this one? Sigh...

A truly heartbreaking story. I don't know if we'll ever see them get together on the show beyond the obvious double entendres and innuendos, but this story pretty much sums up their history. Great job! Thank you for sharing! )

Ok, for starters, I had to keep blinking back tears, because I am at the library, and I don't want to look like a total sap, and I wanted to go to CBS studios, hand this to them, and force them to make it into an episode. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! :')

Awwww made me cry a bit:) But also made me feel all warm inside. So I LOVED IT! Dang. Why's your writing so good?:) Anyways. Great Job!

Well that was angsty. I loved it. I loved how Ziva would not let him go. Well done.

I very much liked parts of this... I don't think Tony would have quit for those reasons... but well, you know me :P #dingulis! :P

This was great! I loved it! Awesome job, awesome job(:

i cries it was so emotional but is he goingto be alowed back

really sad/sweet! nice job!
