Thank you!! I'm glad I can finally thank you for that fabulous review! I'm very happy you liked it, and that you liked my candle bit. That's possibly my favorite bit of imagery in the whole thing.

It was SO hard for me to figure out how to do Narcissa in this, but it is probably my favorite version of her yet.

Again, glad you liked! Thanks much!!

Very beautiful and well written.
I particularly liked how much more was left unsaid than spoken out loud, and how most of the meetings were fractured and unresolved. The randomness, the lost chances you can never get back, the lack of communication are all things that ring so true. Just like the fact that the ending is a sort of non-ending. Because life doesn't end, except by death and that is an abrupt cut off of continuance rather than a neat wrapping up of things.

Thank you very much! That's what I was trying to communicate, so I'm glad it played well.

This was so beautifully written! A wonderful example of "show, not tell." You've done this brilliantly!
