I get the impression that Flik has been practicing the spelling of Odessa’s name for weeks, just to get it right. It’s interesting that you divide this up into three sections, each one with a different viewpoint. Not only that, but each section seems to have its own conflicts and resolutions. What I really like are all the little physical descriptions of Flik and Odessa’s love. You’ve done a wonderful job of showing their relationship in action through hugs and touches.
