Ohhhhh Janet!!! What a beautiful, bittersweet story!! I can't say enough about your incredible writing! You're so gifted and it's always an absolute joy to read your work! And an honour to publish it!

After Angela had been missing and we then learn about Henry's job, I figured she was about to turn up as a "client" but was so hoping that wouldn't be the case!

But ... as much as I hoped for a happy ending for them, it ended exactly the right way. Like Gone With the Wind. No matter how often I watch it (and that's been a LOT!), I keep wishing for those last few minutes to be different. But dang it, they never are!!

And it's actually perfect as it is. How weird is that?!

This is exquisite writing, Janet. I admire you so, so much!

Thank you for responding to this prompt! Such a delight and a gift to receive it this morning!
