Not my usual genre, but I saw the first part on collarkink and ended up being quite intrigued. I'm glad I stuck with it, because this one had parts that struck a particular chord for me. I didn't realize how much seeing some things-- even in someone else's words-- can make you feel better about it.

I'm REALLY glad to see it all played out in a realistic and gripping fashion. Not every 'happy ending' is always happy, and I really connected with the part about having to just muddle through, the way you are, baggage and all.

I loved Moz too. He loves Neal that much to look past his own misgivings knowing that it will be best for his friend, and the best, although not perfect, is what they can have. One always hopes they have a friend who can do that for them.

Looking forward to the epilogue! :-)
