And well done. Loooking forward to more of your work--schedule permitting. I liked it very much.
The interior monologue is excellent. You're developing the character well, now just let her go. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
Your tone and pace lined up beautifully with the butterfly-laden setting. Artful. Who wouldn't want to meet this thoughtful, gentle girl? My favorite little turn of phrase of yours was: "Amanda felt a flush creeping into her cheeks and silently cursed her Scandinavian ancestry." Well done there and everywhere else!
It's really nice! I liked it a lot...hope you hurry up the second part!
