Lovely! What a wonderful Eileen voice this is, making excellent use of the first-person. I love the way she grows over the course of the story, and the way she's drawn to Toby. He's heartbreaking in his own way--an outcast as much as she, and though he's determined to escape the traps that destroyed his father, what we know from canon throws a shadow over those hopes; we know it won't end as well as either of them would like. Yet that takes nothing away from the loveliness of their courtship, composed of small, beautiful moments of happy connection.
