ok ... this was so sweet! I just... aw... it made me smile and sigh and just good happy feelings. Great story! Write more like this please!

Bitter-sweet. A not-quite-so-happy ending, all the more realistic and touching because of that. I commend you.

Excellent interplay between characters. Sharp and clear writing. Everything that needs to be there is there and nothing extraneous to clutter it up.

Not a one-shot, I hope.
