I am so glad you liked because I seriously consdiered tossing it out more than once. I kept thinking too long, too scmoopy, just too everything. Some of it was rewritten at least five times. (Except for the description of how artists keep their supplies. That part I've always loved. I do have a serious art kink.)

And I bet a lot of people won't be happy about it, considering (although I knew even before I finished the first story that this would be the ending.)
