Beautiful story!

Wonderful story! I liked how you used the bear and pecan tree story throughout the piece, it made a beautiful counterpoint to the events. I also liked that you used the man as the PoV character, it was interesting to see how he reacted and considered the situation.

The whole love story was well-written and interesting. The relationship was well described and very romantic. I think I would have liked a little bit more of conflict though, maybe having a real meeting between the characters and the husband, or having a close brush with being discovered.

Wow this was absolutely beautiful! congratulations on winning the prompt; you really deserved it

This was really powerful. I liked how you used the bear and pecan tree motif without it being overbearing. And even though I was expecting a bad ending, you know, the "inevitable" you really tied things together in the end and created hope. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
