Thank you!

Ooh, perfect - and I mean bloody perfect. Exactly the right kind of conversation I imagined (but couldn't put in words; that's for talented writers to do) about Sam telling Gene he's got to leave. I love the mentions of Annie and the team, and the roll of film and the photo work their way seamlessly in the story. Can't wait for the second part! :o]

Thank you very much! The second part is on its way soon.

That weaving entailed a day of scrolling through transcripts looking for references. How I suffer for my art ;) Thanks!

Intriguing! The degree and type of banter between them is just perfect, just what it should be. I'm enjoying this leadup to Sam's disappearance.
