Thank you very much, @jayna. You warm my heart with your response.

I loved writing this story. You know the feeling, when it comes naturally, when it flows. Then, of course I had to chisel because that first draft was fairly rough around the edges.

I'm very, very happy the some people seemed to enjoy reading this almost as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I wish you the happiest, healthiest 2026 my friend.
