I was lucky in that the day after finding out that this long, highly rec'd story was out there, my boss was out of the office all day. I spent a huge chunk of my day today reading this story, whenever somebody wasn't absolutely in my face needing something from me, and WOW! what a great workday. I loved the tension of the whole screwed up situation keeping them apart and their separate kind of pain and then the reunion and the big battle and the recovery and everything. Wonderful! Thank you!
