God, this was beautiful. It's good to have you back - and the support's ongoing, you know, not just for hiatuses *g*

Thank you! That means a lot to me! And I'm glad you liked the fic. :-)

God . . . I've never been one for the Sam/Donna thing, especially the Donna-can't-make-up-her-mind ones, but this was wonderful. I guess that aspect of Same is a blank slate. He can be anything, and I buy this. Poor Sam. And I love your Josh and Donna steadiness in the midst of insanity. Great fic.

Yes, normally I can't stand Sam/Donna, because of the whole triange thing. But this seemed to work in my dark little future. I'm glad you liked it!!

Wow, quaggy, this was unexpected, but really nice. I always had a hard time buying Sam and Donna being romantically involved, but the way you wrote Sam here, I believe his feelings.

It's so good to see you back after your family emergencies. I'm glad that your dad's doing better (I've been there and I know how tough it is.)

Well, techincally, Sam and Donna aren't involved in this fic. It's just wishfull thinking on Sam's part. I'm glad you liked it.

And thanks. It was a little scary there for a while, but things are getting better.

Poor Sam! I never could really see a Sam-Donna thing happening, but I can definitely imagine this dialogue running through his head. So glad you're back, and I hope all of the personal stuff is improving. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Family stuff is slowly getting better. We've got hope for the future, which is a beautiful thing.

Wow. That was unexpected. I've never really seen Sam and Donna, but this line "You’re more attracted to the complication than to the girl herself." makes perfect sense of Sam's relationships. Great stuff.

Lovely to see you posting this again. I hope things are better now.

"You’re more attracted to the complication than to the girl herself." makes perfect sense of Sam's relationships.

Yes, that was actually the central idea that inspired this entire fic. I mean, I don't know how else to make sense of the Laurie thing... or how he acted around Mallory!

Things are slowly improving at home. We all feel very lucky.
