It is definitely true that there is no greater joy than realizing that the partner of your choice truly loves you the way you are and I imagine that this is specially satisfying for a man who's been as unfortunate in love as Severus has always been.

I'm glad that you enjoyed watching our very special grinch's heart grow as much as it possibly can. Thanks, as always, for the lovely and bizarre pictures that you so often put inside my wacky head. They never fail to make me LOL, my friend. :)
