Thank to all three of you, Heather, Anna and MarX. I am thrilled people are still finding this story an enjoyable read. 🙂
Heather and Anna: I hope your epic continues. If you wish to talk about it, I am at your disposal.
MarX: I am glad you like that. I always love to think of my characters as more than just ticklers and ticklees, as those certainly aren't the only qualities that they possess.
