I know it's moving fast for a romance story, because it's not meant to be very long. So, put in terms of the projected length of the story, I think it's proportional.
This story will also deal with a few issues that are a little different from usual romance. My intent is to take two people basicly made for each other and expose them to external pressures, not internal conflicts that create drama. This is a story more about "love at first sight" tested by the histories and situations of the two actors, because there will be little internal conflict dealing with personality clashes between Kit and Jessie, at least in this story. If I ever decide to expand on it, I could easily do something a little more traditional.
And, as you pointed out, this is new territory for me. I'm keeping it short so I don't totally screw it up. Brevity is the life preserver of the knave.
As to waiting for something to happen...please. Since when have I ever written a story where somebody didn't die? Just usually not the main characters.

Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.
