Very emotional Vicki. I like how it plays like a double edge sword.... but not in a cutting way. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this one! Very well written. I love how you wrote about specific things for each person and in the same order. I enjoyed this and giggled. I'm in the same person's shoes (including taking the phone to the bathroom and allowing a child to play games even while having a headache). Had a chance to get into Simon's head, too! Cute!
ReplyDeleteYes I liked the mirroring that I got going her I am not as pleased as I wanted to be with it.
