I really like this one, cause the way you talk about Vancouver (Never been there, live in the middle of the Industrial, nation-state wanna-be place called Edmonton, Alberta) makes the reader feel the same way about it that Dom is feeling. It sets up the story perectly to get that epiphany that Dom gets during the dinner.

Just brilliant.

PS: Love the Boondock icons. Just adore the rope one. *smirks*
