Thank you so much -- it was a lot of fun to write and to speculate on what might've happened to Dudley in the future. He didn't seem like the type who would do well as a salesman or in an office, and I couldn't see Luna falling for someone who was a full-time boxer, so it just sort of went from there. I definitely wanted to make him sympathetic so I'm glad that came through the way I meant it to. :)
Thanks so very much for all the kind words. I'm so glad you liked it.
