This was definatly an interesting twist on things. Real angsty and heart wrenching. I Loved it.

Wow. That made me teary. Well done. An original idea excuted nicely.

This was a very moving story. To see all the people whose Maxie's absence would affect was both eye opening and touching. A few years ago the list would have probably been limited to Georgie and Mac and Jesse, before Robin returned. It illustrates how she has grown as a person. Spinelli's and Mac's grief was heartrending and it was nice to see Jason be Spinelli's rock and Robin supporting and getting through to Mac.

I particularly liked these two lines:

Releasing Maximista would be a grievous error; every instinct in him told him that it was imperative that he not let her go.

“I’m your girl, too,” Robin had shouted with tearful anger. “I’m still here and I need you!”

Her voice turned then, from an angry woman trying to make her inebriated uncle listen to reason to that of a scared and lonely child.
