Oh yay! Thanks so much for reading this, babe! And your comment totally made my day!! :D

I'm really delighted by your comments about narrative style, characterization and character voices. It's very important to me for it to sound like the characters, so I'm very happy you can hear the dialogue! Yay to the unspokenness working and the hints of vulnerability coming through (I really enjoyed exploring that).

Yay to the mode of storytelling being powerful! Thanks!!! *g*
