Not only was this a good, and touching story, but hit me directly. It had been just over 4 1/2 years since I lost my buddy/partner of over half a century and I feel her love and warmth, and those of the fun being exchanged between us during what were her last hours before we went off to sleep.
I love on, doing community and family things that she would be mad if I stopped. The warmth of her love is still with me. Your story, and the last few paragraphes gave me a shot of that warmth. Thanks
The simple sincerity of the way the story was written, and the description of feelings between the characters, speak of what true love can really achieve. Fictious it may be, but without a doubt, a reflection of life itself...amazing...
I didn’t care much for this story. I didn’t like the flowery prim and proper Victorian prose, and I didn’t care much for the fact that he loved her so much he decided he needed to practically rape her to make her see things his way. That’s just my take on it anyway.
