First off, how can you hate Mara?!?!?! I LOVE Mara! She totally rox! And Kate, you have captured her perfectly here! And thank you for not making Luke a "blond" blond. Where do all these fan artists get the idea that Luke is a perfect blond? He's not. Dark blond, I'll give you, but true blond? Nope. Not since he was a teenager.

I love the look on Luke's face the best, I think. And the slightly possesive gesture of his hand on her back speaks volumes. Totally cool.

Easily!

You do not want to send me off on a Mara rant. Believe me.

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it! And, yes, Luke's hair is that lovely tricky colour. Not blonde, not brown, yet darkens with age. ;~)
