!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This turned out so well - SO well - and knowing the background thinking that went into it... I'm so pleased for you that it's come together as beautifully as it has :) Because at the same time, you've created this chapter that isn't weighed down by all the thinking you had to do,if that makes sense. It reads like it was meant to be all along :D
I LOVE Maggie yelling at the room/stand-in-Sterling so much. It's perfect because I want her to have to outburst, but I don't want her to have it at him. I love all their interactions, and the physicality of those interactions - they feel so real. I've said it to you, but I love that thanks to what's gone before, we know exactly what her actions are doing to him in this chapter, even if she doesn't yet... I I just... I I love it all!
Well done you :) Now pour yourself a glass of your favourite beverage, sit back and enjoy the satisfaction. ... And then hit me up any old time re:9 too, because I will bring all the enablement. For both of us.
**APPLAUSE** WELL DONE AND THANKYOU FOR BRINGING ME ALONG FOR THE RIDE!!! :D :D :D

I mean, I know you were along for the ride and everything, but I'm SO glad you love it.

Boy howdy! Here's to both of us not having to go through that process again as intensely as that! For myself, I can mostly feel it works, but it'll probably take a while before I can stop seeing all the seams still. But I'm happy to take your word for it. And just glad it's done!

Yes, it was exactly what she needed. And as soon as I let her have it, the story started actually taking the shape it needed to. Funny that!
what her actions are doing to him in this chapter
Hehehe, that one moment? Definitely my favourite of this story. The yelling is great too, and I'm so glad you sanctioned indulging in the description, but that moment? Oh, Sterling. Trying so very hard to pretend he hasn't lost, that he didn't lose this game the moment he decided to play, way back then.
I SHALL ENJOY MY BEVERAGE OF SATISFACTION. And you know you'll hear about it the moment I've got anything worth telling :)
