Oh my goodness, I haven't commented since Chapter 22(!). eek

What makes me feel even more guilty is, although I claim I haven't had time to write feedback, I *did* manage to squeeze in the time to read! blush

I am going to spend the next 10 days leisurely re-reading the past few chapters and writing feedback to each one. Thank you *so* much for writing this wonderful story, and thank you for posting the ending before going off on vacation. wave
