Excellent story, Sue! It sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. Good thing you had a posting schedule that wasn't too torturous, in spite of all those fantastic cliffhangers.
I enjoyed everything about this story--the A plot, the relationship aspect, the other characters and also the humor. You'd have lines in there which completely unexpectedly had me in stitches. And yet this wasn't a comedy. It seems as though you just effortlessly interwove drama and humor and the result was a fun yet suspenseful ride for all of us. Thank you.
