That was one of the SWEETEST chapters I've ever read. I hate to say that I blew straight through it, but, omg, did that really yank on my heartstrings. Aaryn, I don't know how you keep outdoing yourself. Props and then some.
Thank you. i really appreciate that. I really tried to do something sweet with the genre here and move the bar in a unique direction. Chapter 9 really did surprise me though and i'm pretty happy with it.
