This was a great insight into Cecil's mindset. He wonders if he is truly meant to bear such a dark burden, but knows that Rosa will always be his angel.

A magnificently written piece. It’s exactly how I feel Cecil would be: brooding but not whining, strong but not harsh. It flows well and is spot on with grammar, etc. I look forward to more of your writing.

Nice.

Actually, nice is somewhat of an understatement. I'd say brilliant, but I think I overuse that word with you. How about enchanting? Yes, I like the way that sounds. This was indeed enchanting. Your wording makes each sentence flow with a certain grace. And you got inside Cecil's mind very well; nice little battle of conscience. Although it looks like the wrong part of Cecil won that little battle at the end--well, for now anyway.

I really enjoy your vignettes.
Thinking of creating another one anytime soon?
