I've been reading this story for a while now, but just *had* to comment on this chapter. I think you wrote Tim perfectly. I could see the Tim from around this time in the series acting exactly as he did in this chapter. The only bad thing about this story is waiting for the next chapters!! Thanks so much for writing this. I love all your stories.

Great chapter! Appreciated that Tony was able to present his perspective while still being able to hear how Tim and Ziva felt about him. Thought it showed alot of maturity on Tony's part, which has been evident throughout this story. Missed Gibbs and Miri in this chapter, but felt by focusing on Tim and Tony, you gave their issues the weight they probably deserve. Can't wait for more! Really enjoying it!

Loved the clearing of air between Tony and McGee, also that a lot of home truths came out at the same time. Looking forward to the next chapter

ksl…that was EXCELLENT…I finally got an opportunity to get caught up with the last few chapters. I’m loving where this is going…I love how you displayed the frankness of Miri, Gibbs waking up and McGee ‘finally’ seeing the error of his ways…you really did a ‘great job’ with the display of McGee’s emotions he said everything Tony needed to hear…Tony was understandably surprised by the sincere admissions…and it all opened up perfectly when McGee honestly admitted “what’s really up with Ziva” and by explaining her outward hostilely toward Bahl who’s only mistake was taking Tony’s vacant desk…she is seriously missing Tony…I can hardly wait for more…thanks for sharing.

WOW....SUPER.....i'm soooooooooooo glad, that tony and tim talked and worked things out....it was time for mcgee to learn how they'd made tony feel, during his months of being TEAM LEADER...and after gibbs returned....now, he needs to clear the air with ziva.....and of course, a loooooooooooong talk with jethro and clear the air there more fully. looking forward to more. alisa

Fabulous chapter, thank you!

Very good work I'll be happy to see the next chapter - can't wait for more -please update soon!
