but. but. but.

brb crying.

I mean, I love it. Ana, and Djordje, and the irony about the passport (is this a deliberate reference to the Alanis Morissette song because if so, well played), and the neverending cycle of the tennis season dragging Novak along. but mostly I'm just sitting here reenacting the ;_; emoticon.

[aramley]

Don't cryyyyy *clings* Haha, it is ironic, but it wasn't meant for a deliberate reference. I'm not that clever!

This is so sad. Awesome job

And I don't know if it was your intention but a chill ran up my spine when I realized that you're ending the story with Nole on a plane...

[aramley]

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked the end, creepiness was definitely my intent.

[hypertwink]

OMG, brilliant. My imagination just ran wild and added a Lost-esque epilogue to the story.

So sad and realistic, thinking about what a tribute in that situation would be like. That Rafa's first words are to tell Novak to go to sleep and that he'll be there for him put a hopeful smile to the ending. Well done.

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it :)
