Clearly I’ve read too much drama – I was waiting for the twist that would suddenly make it all go wrong for Dennis (was sure that she wasn’t he girl he thought she was, for example), so it was a great relief to find that that’s not the case at all. This is well-written, captured the mood nicely, and I love the description of the girl. Worth a sequel from someone, I think!
I have to agree with Mycroft, and I curse the notion that I’m always looking for a twist. I suppose it is something I try to do as often as possible in order to make such a short piece interesting.
But this was interesting, and it’s edifying to simply have a happy ending with no strings attached.
