Well written and touching, and I can definitely see it as an older Jessi (and an older Kristy), but 19 and 21? Doesn't that seem too old for the characterization? Maybe I'm projecting, because Tony and I are 21 and 19 respectively, and I just..I don't know, I just don't see the age continuity. They struck me as around 15/16.

But other than that, not a single qualm, and definitely a very sweet and well done story.

Possibly. They were in high school when I started, then I realized the request specified post-high-school. My sense of age-appropriate maturity and experiences is all muddled-up because of the crazy skipping high school thing.

Glad you liked.
