What a wonderful story! I loved how much detail you put into this and how much thought (the insider jokes and codes, for example, and all those lovely little habits they developed around each other and how they couldn't stay away from each other even though they tried, and, gah, just everything!) and all their misunderstandings and insecurities, too - and how, in the end, none of that really mattered and it all came down to how much the two loved each other. Even without realizing it at first.

If I wanted to list every passage or quote that I loved, I'd be writing a story of my own so let me just say instead that this is something I'll definitely come back to read again. And again. And again!

Also, it felt as if you liked all the characters, even Genevieve and Chad, which is something I haven't found all that often yet and I wish I could hug you for that or something. Seriously. I'm in love with this little gem. Thank you so very much for sharing!

Oh wow THANK YOU!! I am seriously so so glad you're enjoying this story. I especially appreciate the note about liking all the characters because yeah, I definitely do, and I'm glad that comes across! I don't do character hate, and I'm especially sensitive to it when the characters are based on real life people, so I'm really happy that the characters felt realistic and like they were being written with love because they definitely are!

This was a super misleading chapter because it's actually NOT the end - I have a little bit left to wrap up this story, but I'm struggling with it, so the resolution reached in this part combined with my impressive disappearing act unwittingly gave the impression that this was the last installment. I think there are about two chapters left and the next one - The National Society for the Foundation of I Sensed Homoerotic Tension on Television and People Almost Died will be up this week! Please stay tuned and for REAL thank you for reading!
