Well written and I really thought they got together. Nonetheless, I've enjoyed it very much.

Splendid. Cool. Wonderful.

This is a very nice story, and one which reflects the sentiments of a lot of "Monk" fans out there, myself included: they belong together. You've done a good job with the characters, and your inner Monk-ologue is very moving. The only complaint I have is minor, and that is that it's "lie down", not "lay down". I wouldn't have commented on it, except that she says it several times throughout the story. Easy fix.

Otherwise, excellent story! Keep up the good work, and keep writing!

Great story. I'd love to see a sequel where he follows through with touching her hair. :)

see, this is really not about Natalie, it's about Trudy, if monk's going to daydream about Natalie, I'd rather it be because of Natalie herself-not just because monk is lonely and deprived of sex, and missing his long dead wife.

A great story. An interesting exploration of Monk's thoughts and feelings.
