Wow, thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to read, despite the infidelity theme! I completely understand that this kind of topic doesn't appeal to everyone, and the fact that you found this to be, you know, sensible--that's really gratifying. Snape has always been the most difficult character for me to write (though to be fair, I pretty much write only Harry, Snape and Draco, so...), and I'm thrilled you found him to be convincing here. ♥
