Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Takes a well-known subject and transforms it into something both intensely personal and magically universal. Awesome.

What did he say to make her happy?

Marvellous.

Ah, Match, I wish you were a certain someone I once knew.

Oh, so right. Love defies definition,eh?

He’ll get over it. If not, he’ll never find happiness in life.

I’m not sure you do ever really get over it – even when you’re happy, years later, your brain will inexplicably pull back to these odd moments, as it did after consuming a surfeit of rum the other night, and led me to write all about it :)

Thanks for all the lovely comments!

You. I like you. As a writer, I like you. You have an extraordinary writing style which gives me the strangest thoughts. The story itself, I like it. Even as a standalone. Sounds very familiar to me, and very relevant to what I’m going through at the moment.

Your Ficlet may have just helped me make one of the most important decisions of my life.

Oh, it is a standalone. My bad.
