Absolutely brilliant. I have tears in my eyes as I try to type this comment! LOL I love the wonderful circle of friends Millicent has, her obvious love and pride in her daughter, how she worked to give her a good life, how close the two of them are. What a marvelous years long romance put on hold, only to flare to life once more when she and Viktor meet again. Marvelous happy ending for them. Excellent work.
