Hi again and thanks to all reading and responding to this story. It was a very tough fic to write and it means a great deal to me, so the overwhelming responses have really blown me away. Thank you very much!
(couldn't resist--I like the strangled cat from the other board and take every opportunity to use it. Too bad we don't have it here.)
I hope this part is clear enough. I rewrote a great deal and added some parts on suggestion from my beta-reader. Please feel free to point out what you think needs help. Of course, I know you will.
Enjoy!
