Hey,
Great challenge entry! :D Maybe, the last bit was a bit rushed. It seemed like it had a HUGEE build-up, and then, boom. It rained :P I really liked it though, because it really showed their 'love' even in some harsh conditions. Great work! :)

Loved the lines: "Sharing the same sleeping space, breathing the same air, and now seemingly sharing the same skin."
Beautifully done:) One-shots like this can easily be botched and end up sounding rushed, but this one turned out pretty good:)
Keep it up!

This was really good! I generally don't like oneshots, but this was fabulous! I hope you win the competition! :D

I thought the whole declaration of love thing was kind of rushed. I mean, the whole [“We’re together. Tara, doesn’t that mean anything to you?”] thing could be sweet - if you know, they weren't stuck out in the heat, stranded with no water. I mean, those kind of lines fit in a particular situation, a particular context - but I think survival matters a bit more compared to building a relationship. :P

But good thing it started raining. :P

I enjoyed reading it! (:

Honestly, the beginning of the story was superb. but it became annoying when they fight.. (WHICH IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAPTURED THE READER'S HEART) and it came even better when the story turned around! a great work indeed :D
