!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

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

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

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!

I want her to have to outburst, but I don't want her to have it at him.

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 :)

I don't really have anything else useful to say, except 'don't worry, the seams are totes invisible', and 'no rush, because you really deserve a break after this effort'... but really, I just wanted you to know that I'm still squeeing. Because I am.

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

:D
