I hoped that Rita's sincerity would come through, that she really believes what she's saying even while she's spinning it. And that Severus isn't just snark and calculation. Kaycee asked for a slow romance, and I wanted it to be a real romance that made sense with their personalities. It's so easy for that to be lost under the immediacy of the game, so I'm so happy that came through! :D
It came through in spades. Thank you for responding and I'm so glad you did 'cause now I know who you are! Truly a remarkable work--you've got talent. I hope you feel the urgings of your HP muse again and often!
