Thanks so much for all the wonderful, thoughtful feedback. I genuinely forgot how amazing this fandom is in terms of how deeply readers get involved in stories and how generous they are with their time writing feedback. Truly, these comments made my day. I’m so glad y’all are so invested in finding out how we got here and whether this is fixable. You pulled out some of my favorite quotes and details, and I’m so happy those made an impact.
If you’ve read any of my work in the past, you know I’m not one to torture our favorite couple needlessly, so you can be assured that it’s not all angst. If you haven’t listened yet to the song that inspired the title and epigraph at the beginning of the story (Come to Me by the Goo Goo Dolls, I highly recommend doing so if you are feeling sad/worried about where this is going
