I am both thrilled and relieved that you liked this! I'm a firm believer in happy endings so Mel and Lindsay were safe, but I do think their relationship will always have some turmoil! I love the idea of Gus and Melanie having a special bond. We saw so much of her love for him in S1, it has always stuck with me.
I am very glad you liked how Gus and JR grew throughout this fic. I was worried they didn't have enough interaction.
It was a pleasure to write for you. Knowing you want to read this is again is the best thank you:)
