Oh. Oh, dear :( I hate her certainty here, even if she's right. So sad!

[bookblather]

She is, unfortunately, right; she dies about five months from now. Thank you very much!

D: Poor Thea. That last line is especially powerful. Excellently written.

[bookblather]

Thank you so much! I'm quite proud of the last line in particular, so I'm glad you singled it out.

So we all knew this was how it ended but this still gets a "Nooo!" reaction. I loved the line about her "folding" against the bathroom sink, very good choice of word, I think it gets the message across perfectly... in fact, I may use it someday if you don't mind. XD The last line brings it all home, as usual. :)

Thank you very much! And of course I don't mind; I'm pretty sure I nicked it off someone else myself. Steal away. :D

[bookblather]

Unfortunately, she won't. It's her cancer again and it really will kill her this time. Thank you so much for reading, and for your compliments!

Very sad and powerful. Her certainty about the situation is what makes it really hurt for me.

[bookblather]

Thank you very much. It's one of those things where you just know, for her.
