Story Notes: I have no illusion (delusion?) that it even approaches anaross’s lyrical writing, but the story wanted out (it refused to be suppressed, really), and so I dutifully set pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard--modern writing methods are seriously lacking in romance). I hesitate to call it “fluffy”, because, well, I’d like to think it has some depth. But it may be considered “happy”. Reuses the setting from anaross’s story, a little later in time, just so you know there’s no...uh, health issues looming on the horizon, as in “Stay”. Kilo, the adorable puppy, wanted to come long and play. Anaross has graciously allowed me to dog-sit (thank you!).
