Yum! I love the little twist that he's practically begging to sneeze by the end, not more miserable because of the strong scent. I also love all the close calls as she gets near him but the sneeze dying away as she goes for the tissues.

His "“Deed to sdeeze!” gasp was also so very good. And aaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll that build-up and announcing as he feels the tickle getting stronger and stronger. You've got some great details there, with his breath wavering and his red nose and all. And of course, the sneezes themselves--sooooo good!

Thank you for the birthday present! I ended up not seeing it yesterday, and woke up to find it this morning, so it's perfect timing! *hugs*
