I think it can sometimes be tempting as a writer to separate the sweetness of a relationship from the harder realities a couple faces, but it's so much more meaningful (and that much more romantic, actually) when the two coexist - and you've done a wonderful job with this.
I loved how Lexie didn't flinch from any of the truths of the situation; but through this loved Mark even more. The way you use their hands (her examining his; the contrast; his grip tightening on hers) is really masterly and very beautiful. I also had a very strong visual sense of everything happening; and you used 2nd person very well to dig into Lexie's introspection.
Awesome work. Thank you so much for writing it for me &hearts

I'm glad you loved the hands. Masterful and beautiful? Wow, I think I just fell out of my seat. Hearing that from you means the world to me! ♥ I cannot even tell you. This was the first time I've ever attempted 2nd person so I am so glad it worked for you! :)
You're so very welcome, and thank YOU for prompting me with it. Feel free to prompt me anytime you want. I want to get back into writing Mark and Lexie more often. :)
I actually sent this to a writing professor I know and she gave me an idea of how to continue it, or to work more with it. I wanted to see what you thought of that.

I'm intrigued. To me it seems like one of those one shots that is complete around a central idea; and I'd love to know how a writing professor would go about expanding it, partly because this is something I have no idea how to do. (I can almost never write sequels / extend stories I have conceived this way.)
If you do continue, I would love to read.
