Something tells me that neither Christine nor Raoul will die happy. This is brilliantly written, and I will definitely read
Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (Thank you for the tip.) I loved the mood you set, and thought I could feel the salt spray and smell the crisp scent of soap that Raoul carried with him. Christine is far wiser than her 14 years would lead one to expect. I am eager to read more of your work. ~ml

I really don't think it's fair that you write humor, morbidity, and drama so equally well, you know. I love your writing style and was ecstatic to learn that you had my wish. :D I can't wait to see what you do with this in the future (I'm very curious about the backstory with Sorin and the scarf!), but it's beautiful as is. Poor sweet Raoul!

*sighs* Such a beautiful story, Ava. You should definitely continue it. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere. And the mentioning of the meer people, of course.
