She's beautiful. Joy is beautiful.

Not physically, though she is that-- perfectly proportioned, waving blonde hair that she wears to her waist. Any woman can be physically beautiful. It's her sheer exuberance, the... the joy in every move she makes. Her smile, happy or sexy or pleased. Her quick little movements, strong and graceful-- Joy turns everything into a dance.

She doesn't care what people think of her, doesn't care what names they call her, because she is so purely happy in her life, as if the world is a gift bought just for her.

Michael loves her for that.

--

Michael amazes her.

He's so strong, and so alive. She's seen what he goes through every day, out with him-- people who shout at him because he parks in disabled spaces, tell him he's too young for a cane or make 'jokes' about her abusing him when he gets another cast. It infuriates her, but Michael just ignores them.

It's that strength, and that calm. It's the way he lights up when he talks about writing. It's the way he embraces the earth (if not its people) as a giant playground, built just for him.

Joy loves him for that.

Oh my god, it's like Novocaine in print form. This is so lovely, and these two are so obviously smitten with each other and life. This is one of those rare things I feel compelled to thank the writer for sharing. So thank you. :)

Aww, they are sweet together. I love them both, and I love their relationship.

[bookblather]

I love them too! The way they just see each other... not quite through rose-colored glasses, but they see each other's flaws as assets. I love them. Not bad for a random minor-character pairing.

Thank you!

UNF. I love how smitten and happy-in-love these two are. I can't go on about how much they just deserve each other and their happiness.

[bookblather]

They are just full of the cute.

Thank you!
