4.5

This was a perfect teaser to the series (though I read it after completing the full-length installments) and I loved seeing how these two came together (it's heavily hinted at through the series, but seeing the start of their affair is so gratifying). Short and sweet, with classically KJC attention to character development in a handful of pages. And hot! It's hot. I almost want to reread the entire series just to fully appreciate each time Francis calls him "Gabriel." Whew!
