True. Letting Harry in is the first step of the road that will help them develop a strong and lasting relationship, not that I can imagine Harry giving up on Sev now that he finally has him, but Severus' willingness to open up to his lion will make everything easier.

I'm glad that you are still enjoying this story. Thanks so much for taking the time to both read and review every chapter. Your lovely comments never fail to make me smile. :)
