I loved it in the end - ridiculous after all that angst and misery, lol. And I specially enjoyed writing the dialogue, or rather sitting back and letting them talk. I think it said more abuot who they are and how they feel about one another than any amount of narrative would have. I'm glad it worked for you - it's the heart of the story really - at least, I think so.

Thank you for listening to endless whimpering, for offering me flowers and for sharing with me a little of the beauty of snow. It was much appreciated, as are your compliments here. Thank you for them, too :) I'm glad you think well of the end result.
