   Summary

   A/N: This is actually a specific place in canon that I haven’t started our duo out at or read anyone else who has. Which, after 15 YEARS of writing Detty stories, is pretty surprising! And just goes to prove how EASILY the writers in Season 4 shoulda, woulda, coulda put Daniel and Betty together! I’m treating Matt as if he has already shipped off to Africa here, instead of milking his exit ANY further because imho he should have-good riddance! Hope you enjoy!

   I LOVE this Detty video on YouTube! It’s from MovieSparks, who does a lot of Detty videos, but I just really like the song, and her editing is amazing! It uses footage well AFTER this point in the show, but I couldn't not share it, just in case you haven't seen it!
