Well this whole short series was delightful and one of my new favorites.

Every time I think about her dying and the story from the Gheeldyn, I get so sad. I'm glad she had some bright moments.

You did a great job writing in her voice too.

The breakdown at dinner was so hard to read but definitely felt real. It's nice to have people who can be patient with others during those episodes.

I agree with the age thing. I forget I'm nearing 40 every day. I don't feel like a real adult haha.

This was so cozy and real and heartwarming!

Thanks so much! I know, I’m now sad about Chuq too.

The final scenes were hard to write for many reasons. Meltdowns. Someone handling it with care. Bonding moments. Moments with Maddie (who barely got any time).

It’s strange to me that this story can pretty much stand on its own. That was never planned. But I think someone could read this with no Flucks context whatsoever. Woman meets some doofus. She finds platonic and romantic love. The end.

😭💔 it can definitely stand on its own and would be such a great movie. The best is that they both made each other feel comfortable and also grow as people even in that short time. And they're both not very "warm" people by default but then they were! And the classic looking at the stars 😭

Thank you 🥺. Next, I want to find a professional narrator for it. Anthony is amazing and all, but I don’t think he quite has the right voice for this story. 😂

Haha I was just gonna keep rambling about how much I like it so I had to stop. Probably start repeating myself soon.
