what about "care" :]
heehee thanks soha! it's funny you thought this was too vague a word but my lovely friend ctrl+f kept throwing up every instance of "carefully" so it actually isn't that vague at all LOL. but i do love the actual answer:
“You remember the last Thunder-Heat game, where you did beat us… and I called you from the Sydney Test?” Nathan said yes. “Well, you know why I called the first time. But I wasn’t gonna forget why I was there. That I owed that much to you, and it would all mean nothing if you hadn’t been there before me. And maybe I’m the only one who sees it that way, but I don’t care. I’ve been seeing it that way ever since and I can feel myself get better because of it. And I love you more and more for it.” He heard the smile return manifold to Sam’s voice. “It’s always you, skip.”
