Pretty obviously needs to be "WE aren't ... "
(Nitpicking here, but it's confusing.)
(And I may have another comment when I've finished--that's how far I've gotten.)
Beautiful and sensitively executed, you have a special gift for prying open the human psyche.
It just occurred to me that since they started dating in 1989 and she was 20 then...with her dying @ 35 meant she died in 2004 in the storyline. That means Mary showed up about 7 years later.
Powerful chapter! You detailed Alvin's story about Bonnie wonderfully, and it careened from tentative, assertive, playful, comfortable, loving and finally to devastating; it ran the entire emotional gamut. So it turned out they started dating in 1989 with "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"? Who would have guessed?
It's clear Angus loves Mary and you pulled at so many heartstrings in this one. A hands-down 5.
I really like your stories . As this one is long, I'll be back to it soon.
I suppose I should be sad, but my overpowering thoughts are that this is such a beautiful way to be remembered by a spouse.
Beautiful writing, Melissa.
