This was absolutely wonderful! I really really enjoyed it.

I like it. A sweet, poiniant look at the moment Professor Hill met his match. Thank you for posting this lovely short story.

Very sweet!

Nicely done! I particularly like the stylistic choice you've made to show Harold's evolution from devil-may-care conman to legitimate bandleader in love - the short, active-voice sentences arranged in brief vignettes capture Harold's always-on-the-move character well.

It's been awhile since we've had someone new in the fandom - welcome, and hope to see more in the future. :)
