Holy crap, this was even more intense reading it a second time around.

I loved how you had a line in italics that matched the paragraph before it. That really made for a different read, but still an amazing one at that.

Poor Steve and Tess. They need lots of snuggles and malted milkshakes. :( At least they have each other. :)

And I read that there might be more? Yay! *is excited*

Great work, hun.
