This. Is. EXCELLENT!

I love being mercilessly dragged along, especially when reading short fiction, and I was dragged, all right.

Happy endings are overrated. Good writing proves that.

Well done, and thank you.

Very sad, but very beautiful. I'd never thought I'd say this, but I like that it doesn't have a happy ending. That's it's 'just' Andy's fantasy and sort of crush on her boss and that it won't be anything more than that. I really like that about it.

That aside, I'll never be able to look at the benefit scene in the same way again. I already thought that Miranda was absolutely drop dead gorgeous in that scene, but the way you've described her, it makes me want to kiss the screen, and that might cause some embarrasing situations.

You, again, did a brilliantly good job and I love it.

So...you already know that I thought it was scorching hot...

But what I haven't told you yet is how beautifully-written the entire piece is. The pain Andy feels as a result of the conflict in loving her boyfriend (she thinks) and wanting/needing her boss (she knows) is palpable. While we've all been there - or close to there - in terms of wanting something and having to accept that we'll never get it, few have captured the desperation that comes along with that so eloquently.

You've created yet another beautiful, resonant piece. Well done.

Since we chatted about this story and the timing of it I have been weirdly late in posting a comment. Sorry!

Where do I begin? If anyone has ever lusted after another person without that person's knowledge, this is exactly how they would feel. Completely.

"You drop your head into your hands and groan because you know with unwavering certainty that your fantasies and desires are for naught. You will never have her."

Says it all.

Thank you for a bittersweet yet fulfilling fic.
