Wow. That was incredible. The play between them: I spent most of their encounter not knowing who was in truly charge, who was feeling more insecure, or who was more in control of himself. That knife-edge between them was so well done.
And then, the ending, where Harry talks himself down FAR too effectively, was so sad! It was painful to read him convincing himself that their relationship shouldn't progress, and then the exhaustion takes over.
