Hey there,

How many words is this? Like 500? And yet you manage to bring out so much emotion.

May favorite part: like copper and salt and all the things I’d so foolishly hoped she’d never grow up enough to understand. Heart wrenching!

And the vicious circle keeps going at the end and it makes me cringe because it's so true in so many circumstances, but you've got to feel happy for the little girl who had such a wonderful man there to look after her. You are the queen of bittersweet endings. This one was more sweet than bitter though (like dark chocolate?).

That is it! I am in love with Stevie!

Sorry, sleep deprivation seems to have set in. I'm sorry for the lack in reviews and such. It seems I can't find the time lately for Axel and Roxas. :-( So sad, but I guess that is how the cookie crumbles. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to skip certain responsibilities and just read all day?

Lovely story as usual.

I definitely felt something in my heart wrench for Janey within the last couple paragraphs. And Stevie, wow... sdfk. I feel so ... bad for him, almost. Always looking after his little cousin, never really living a life of his own (or else it was one unmentioned) ;_; A good read. Nicely written, heartbreaking in its own way. :')
