Gah. The baby issue gets me in my tear ducts, every time. I can't imagine a harder choice to make than giving your baby away, and the idea that they didn't even get to hold her is just...CRUEL.

I suspect I know the author of this based solely on the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

The flowers with not-enough-change was just too teenagery and heartbreaking too.

*wipes eyes*

So much love for this story.

So much.

The bouquets all had the anemic, underfed charm of hothouses and cargo jets.

Something about this image.... is so real and heartbreaking. The first time I read it it struck me... and continued to do so the following three times. Such a lovely paragraph. (so I re-read it, what of it? You starting something there A.A.?)

"I think she wants out. Life in a box can’t be too fun, you know?”

Such a Puck thing to say. A puck-ish sentiment if you will. And yet incredibly honest and profound.

She cried for a long time.

Eventually he did, too.

Classy ending, A.A.! Broken and healing and together. The only way they'll possible make it through whole at the other end of the tunnel.

Very well written.

I loved so much about this. Everyone felt so in character.

The story was sad yet perfect.

That ending was just wonderful.

UGH! My heart hurts so much right now! This was all just so side... Him not having enough change for the flowers, Quinn not being able to hold her... *cries*
