Such a wonderful story! I really enjoyed reading it. I could imagine the scene between Niles and Daphne on the bench perfectly, which was great. I'm liking reading all of these new stories!

wow this was such a nice surprise. I have so missed your stories! This was sweet and at the same to smile because I think you captured the kind of "small or pettyish" side of Niles just spot on. I can so see him resenting his family at a funeral like that! the image of the boys all singing and Martin being proud of his boys was just lovely. And of course, the meltworthiness of Niles and Daphne realizing how they felt...just perfect. thank you.

Really sweet story! I like how Niles admits at the end that he'll miss his aunt after all. I mean there must have been some positive things about her :)

Aw, this was so sweet! I love that some good came of Aunt Louise's passing. I love stories like this, where there's no big romantic revelation, but we get to see N/D as friends. Just adorable. :)
