It's so much fun when a small detail that I've heard before, but never noticed gets into the hands of another storyteller. I never would have made the connection of the two women both being named Martha, but it seems so obvious now that you've done it.
There were so many tantalizing details that you sprinkled throughout the story that cry for a sequel. Martha's strange tone of voice, which Jonathan and Clark both notice, makes me want to see alternate POVs. However, it was lovely as a stand-alone.
