I can quite see why you enjoyed writing this - that shows so well in the story.

It's great fun, some superb dialogue and internal thoughts. Illya at home was particularly good. And as for the fortune cookies . . . So well done and very clever.

And can you tell that I really, really like fortune cookies? :DD

Thanks so much for reading! It was a joy rather than a task to write it. :DD

Yes, I may have got that impression *g* It's lovely to be able to work something you really, really like into a story and you did it so seamlessly.

You know how much I love your writing; your stories are always a joy to read.

You are so very kind - thank you. I try to write what I want to read and be true to the characters. So many writers are determined to bend the character to suit them, not the other way around. And that's why I like yours stuff.
