I think the biggest compliment that one can pay a writer is the number of times you go back, despite having read the work once.. and there are plenty of stories on this forum which are a really great read (
which tragically I discovered only after having gone through a whole load of stuff that left me cold) and very well written but only a few that I have actually bookmarked and go back to re-read! So thank you for writing!
Loved the update - so very true to their characters and yet yielding to the demands of their hearts. One helpless in love, unable to walk away even when she has been wronged cos she still yearns for that one person, the other repentent, unable live with himself and what he had done, willing to atone by letting go the one person who makes him come alive...
Reminded me of a Whitney Houston song
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I...
Will always love you...
I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope
you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy
and happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
And I...
Will always love you
