If I haven't said it enough, your support and reading means much to me always. <br />And it's strange and lovely that you called it a 'moment', because it was an observed moment at a party that started the story.

The craft is so impeccable and so understated, that I cannot praise it enough. One particular line there was also like a life lesson of sorts. You are going all the way my friend, no question about it.<br /><br />As for the line that made me linger for more than a couple of moments, here it is:<br /><br />'But as is the nature of an option, it makes you more secure about the future, and less settled in the present.'vispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558386659834486740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-17868000868622498042015-12-08T13:36:30.572-08:002015-12-08T13:36:30.572-08:00Pia, I opened the story (against better judgement)...Pia, I opened the story (against better judgement) when I had a work deadline looming - meaning to come back to it - but of course at the first sentence was so drawn to it that I had to finish reading right then.

I was going through a low phase then & your posts just made me feel normal :) Thereafter, i started waiting for your posts & then lost track. Imagine my surprise that after months today, I came back to this space once again & had not only a post or two to read but a whole story! <br /><br />Loved it! These little secrets make up for a couple's journey just as much as spending some hard times together. Keep writing!
