Nice continuation of how the honeymoon period ends and real life begins, starting to see and deal with each others' flaws. It's rather a good thing that Owen has the patience of a saint, because he needs it. I started getting frustrated with Malcolm's insistence that the way he lives life is the only way life should be lived. 
 I do have to note there were a couple of Britishisms this time around that I had no idea what they were and had to look them up, like ABSOs. That sort of threw me out of the story for a second. Also times when we're supposed to be in Owen's point of view, but British language and thoughts were used, such as when Owen's mom "rang off" instead of "hung up". It just felt wrong. 
 And I liked the brief jaunt/glimpse of Market Garden and seeing the same Percy as a side character in both universes. It's a nice touch. =) 
 It still feels like the relationship is too new and not a HEA ending, still HFN. It still feels like there are more fights about Malcolm's job vs. Owen's paycheck forthcoming. I guess we'll see.
