Die ganze Situation bringt auch interessante Erkenntnisse und dabei hat die Autorin wirklich gute, nachvollziehbare Ideen:
"What Bodie didn't know, what nobody had told him, was that with his eyes covered he seemed unable to pull up the masks that usually hid his emotions."
Gut gefällt mir auch, dass Bodie nicht permanent von Doyle bemuttert wird, sondern selber mit seinen stark reduzierten Sinnen klar kommen muss bei jeder alltäglichen Siruation:
"Morosely, Bodie carefully counted seconds as he poured tea into his cup, then repeated the exercise with the milk. What a lousy way to live. What if he had to do it for the rest of his life? For a little while this afternoon he'd been able to, if not forget his blindness, at least put it aside. Why did Doyle have to spoil it?"
Die beiden Profis präsentieren uns auch nicht perfekt und ideal für jedermann, aber für sich:
"As back-up, yeah. As an agent. But they don't like me." Doyle lifted his head, eyes searching Bodie's half concealed face. He knew Bodie hated to be put on the spot emotionally, but he had to do it. "I can live with that, 'cause you like me. Don't you, Bodie? Straight up."
Bodie knew the green eyes were on him, searching out their answer in his face. He shifted uneasily in his chair, reached for his cup and bent his head as if he could stare into its depths. "Yeah," he finally admitted."
Es folgt ein sehr schön beschriebener Moment nach dem anderen, trotz reichlich Emotion niemals kitschig:
"Bodie shrugged, attempting to appear cool, but careful not to dislodge or discourage the grip Doyle had on him. It felt so good to be connected. "You know me. Contingency planning. Can't seem to picture myself with a white cane and cup of pencils, though."
"Jesus," Doyle murmured. Determined resistance had finally met and been conquered by irresistible emotion. Forgetting about rights and inappropriate moments, he wrapped himself around Bodie's big strong body and felt the other man return the embrace with a strength that nearly squeezed the breath out of him."
Es gibt eine ganze Reihe typischer Momente aber jeder ist unterhaltsam, flüssig und individuell geschildert.
Am Ende ist wie du schon geschildert hast, Bodie wieder fit und die entdeckten Gefühle können ausgekostet werden.
Die Story hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Sie war noch ganz neu für mich. Danke für die Empfehlung und die gelungene Aufbereitung mit Clouds Titelbild!
