Vidya, I adore this story! Your fiction is as heartfelt and descriptive as your beautiful non-fiction stories that often move me to tears.

This is such a poignant story, and for all its pain and sadness, it's also a story of resilience and self-love.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for your excellent submission, my dearest friend. And thank you, too, for your share of the prompt and the guideines! Sending you loads of love! 💜
