Obviously I have already read this, but like Accioslash, was so entranced and beguiled by your ability to weave a story that I couldn't resist taking another bite by opening it up. Unfortunately I took that bite from the first line and ... and ended up making the whole a delightful feast.
Your way with words is delicious. They render the story like paint, describing every moment, every emotion and every wonderful hitch of breath. Such an indulgent story in the best style, whereby the reader is taken by the hand and swept along within it, rather than as an imapartial observer. So many times I held my breath, found myself gnawing on my lips, waiting for them to touch, to feel, and just to be together.
Marvellous, marvellous story and one that has stayed with me, heart and soul, since the first time I read it.
My Team pride also leads me to add how honoured I am to have been on Team Snitch with you, and think we could not have ended with a better showing.
