"The Language of Love", J/D Drabble, rated G

[sid]

This has been hanging around on my PC for a day and a half, so I guess I should post it.

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE    

Strange, the things that could make a person fall in love.

Daniel saved his life on that very first mission. Second trip, Jack was moved beyond words when he witnessed Daniel’s parting from the Abydonians. He admired tremendously the way Daniel handled his worry and grief; and his fierce resolve to find his captured wife.

But none of that did the trick.

No, it was the first time they shared a tent. Daniel talked in his sleep. Chinese? Jack stared in the half-light and felt a rush of emotion he hadn’t experienced since the early days with Sara.

Truly strange.

Excellent! Of course you already know that dark chocolate is a marvelous companion to vintage port. Double the decadence!

That blur you see is me running to the virtual liquor store.

They actually sell tasting selections of dark chocolates to go along with port. The chocolate comes in these little disks, so what you have is a box of what looks like poker chips. The cocoa content and so on is stamped onto each piece in gold leaf, so you know exactly what you're eating, I guess. It's from one of the European companies with a very long name, and of course I'm totally blanking...
