Wow, oh, wow. Amazing and hurting and so, so good.

What a gorgeous story -- heartbreaking and uplifting within just a few sentences. It was a joy to read.

However unrealistic, I demand happy endings from real life and my stories both. I'm so glad you liked it! :)

[spyforaday]

:) I always provide a happy ending to my stories because I can. Real life is a little trickier... Cheers to great minds thinking alike. :)

Thank you! I would like to take full credit, but my subconscious probably deserves it more.
