This was a lovely chapter.

Yes you did say William could chase after a Geisha Girl but not that he'd end up with one, it fits him.

I know I told you this already, but I'm still really happy you differentiated between Geisha and the Geisha Girls. I know that it's nit-picky but for some reason it really bugs me when people mix them up.

You really utilized Takemizu well. I also liked the various sets with the ships in the background.

Sakura and Danny are cute together and my inner 80s child laughed at the "Daniel-san."

Good luck with your rebuild!

Thank you!

[Link to spoiler]William did his best to catch himself a Geisha Girl, but it just wasn’t meant to be. With free will off for filming purposes, it wasn’t in the cards

What a lovely chapter to end the war series on.

Sakura is a sweet girl. I wondered how she would go being in Simermerica. I can imagine how hard it must have been for the real people at that time.
I had a feeling something would happen when Dotty left her in the shop. Mrs Alcot is a piece of work, but just as well Dotty can take anyone on.

Thank you!

Sakura is very sweet. I can’t wait to write more of her as the legacy progresses. Her story about marring a serviceman and then moving back to the states with him was real, even if for story purposes I had to move the timeline up a bit. Yeah, I kind of figured people would realize something was up when Sakura was all alone for a few. Mrs. Alcott is quite something, that’s for sure. Yes, Dotty can take care of herself and her family - you don’t want to cross her!

Thanks for commenting.

I really liked the story between Danny and Sakura. Sakura herself is a very sweet and likable character and I actually felt a little angry during the scene with Mrs. Alcott. But it was great to see Dotty come to her sister-in-law's defense. :)

Also I did tear up and aww'ed a little when Danny told Sakura that he wanted her to be with him.

Thank you! Sakura is very sweet (I gave her a typical Far East Local personality with high nice points). What Mrs. Alcott did was completely unacceptable and very unkind, but it did give Dotty a chance to show that she’s another feisty Bradford woman (Dotty only has 1 nice point).

Yeah, Danny may not have married Sakura for love, but he eventually got there. I can’t wait to write more of them.

Thanks for commenting.

Once again I'm in awe of your ability to tackle the sensitivities of this era whilst creating a wonderful and enchanting story.

And yay for Dotty standing up for her sister-in-law :)

[silverbelle1220]

Thank you. I've tried my best to weave in some of the more delicate issues without making them too much of a focus.

Dotty is very clannish, and will make sure her family is taken care of, that's for sure.

Thanks for commenting.

[Commenty time!]I am amused at Danny wanting to keep some of this from his mother. I assume that's the bits with Lilah and all? And yes, she's fine with being no-strings-attached, but I do think she cares enough to want to know that a nice guy who she slept with is still, you know, alive and healthy at the end of the war

[silverbelle1220]

[Reply!]Of course Danny doesn’t want his mother to know about his trysts with Lilah, even though Cindy probably wouldn’t have cared (Romance, duh). And I don’t think he’d like Cindy to know what Sakura did for work before they got married. He’d want to play up the “rescuing her from a war-torn country” angle rather than the “rescuing her because I paid her for sex and knocked her up” factor. I kind of figured that Lilah would want to know if Danny survived, and wouldn’t be opposed to another romp before he went back East
