I read it quickly, bothered in split second intervals here and there by some REALLY minor grammar stuff, but was so carried away by the whole exchange that I couldn't stop reading long enough to care.
Well thanks so much Lady Phoenix! Very nice of you to offer such praise...
I've heard I may need to proofread a little closer next time, and will do so. But I'm pleased with the feedback I'm getting--especially your comments! (why do I feel like I just got a good grade on a term paper??)
I should have another story up in the next few days...that, or my dirty mind will come up with something, I'm sure...
