...wow
that was really good, i like how you described how she was feeling and i love the sweet bit in the beginning where she had her hand in the water.
the scene where she was communicating to her brother was really well done, i could see her thinking this and him trying to defend himself.
i find it true that where he lived was a sort of home. really well done there.
the bit at the end where she tells him she is pregnant was so sweet! how she told him and his cute little reaction!
love this!

WRITE ANOTHER STORY SOON, I LOVE ABE AND NUALA STORIES!

THE HB2 ENDING JUST SUCKED!

GREAT STORY!

Beautifully written and creative, I like your writing style and smooth descriptions. Its very engaging, and I hope you continue.

I do like the dialog between Nuala and Nuala better in this version. It's much rawer, sharper, and more revealing (though artfully revealing; nothing plainly stated).
