We've discussed how pretty this is right? Because it is and that's all I can really say coherently: This is fucking beautiful.

If I'm not to be coherent: sajghkajhg AGHESREHFH ASHAGSAGHRWTDFDGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've already squealed about this, but OMG IT IS SO PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL AND AND AND AND

I LOVE IT!

The morning it came in, I read it before getting up, and I could not have been happier.

I cannot really pick one favorite part, but this line has stuck extra with me: "The fact that one of her beloved's last acts of free will had been to give her a gift with its hidden message of love warms her all the way from head to toe."

It's amazing and beautiful and awesome.

Oh, this was just lovely. Achy and wistful, and oh so hopeful! When they met, at the end, I nearly cried.

Loved it!
