"Then put on your shoes and your necklace. The car is in the garage across
the bridge. Come along," he said, smiling just a little indulgently.
It was remarkable just how much his feelings had grown. Q had been little
more than an amusement. A plaything that he enjoyed.
Except now, bit by bit, Q was no longer a pet. No longer on a cushion at
the foot of the bed. Since they'd negotiated, Bond appreciated him for who
he was rather than what he was. He was bright, quick, loyal, loving. He was
a shit, but he could also be quite sweet.
Nothing good could come of feelings like this for a student so he tried to
keep them tamped down. But Q still warmed him inside in a way he simply
wouldn't let go of.
