YAY! Falling in love with Al is one of the outcomes I hoped for this story. I just adored him anyway, and he was such a treasure to write. He had such a strong voice for me.
*squishes Al*
*sneaks him into her pocket when no one is looking*
:-D
Thank you also for taking the time to point out other specific things you liked about the story. That is my favorite kind of review to receive! I love knowing what worked and what moved you.
