Discovering this new chapter was published made my day! I actually just discovered your story yesterday and binge-read it, so imagine my delight when I checked back today and saw you had posted!
The way you write characters is so dimensional – Blaise is especially delicious. And the snippets of married life and life as a mom feel true to life and tugged at my heartstrings. The fights feel real, and so do the moments that make a relationship worth those fights. I like that you took the effort to build up the complexities of a relationship, how things hinge on timing or communication or personal history, instead of defaulting to stereotypes or right vs. wrong.

Some of my favourite lines from this chapter:

“Then let it be a fight! I didn’t know how to fight for you then, but I’ll try now!”

“I’m different,” he muttered. “I stopped learning who you were. I stopped showing you who I was.”

Looking forward to the next one!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Writing the next chapter hasn't been easy but, hopefully, it will come out just as real and true!
