I have to remember to thank dentelle_noir for pointing me to this fic. I loved it when Trowa caved "he knew he could not refuse a fellow orphan in distress"... that part had me tearing up. And I also liked the part where he said "pedophile" and Mari questioned him about that sort of language with the Winner kids. The part where he said, "My side of the family is made of much tougher stuff" must have really cinched the deal for her. Good job!
