Terrific! Dark, angsty drama just the way we like it (including Sam guilt)...then a curve ball! Aris Boch? Didn't see that one coming. What a hoot, but perfectly executed!
"Everywhere we go, we can see how life adapts. How we adapt. It's one of the constants." - Profound and true!
And Janet's, "I think it really speaks to the power of hope." - So in character for her to see the brightest part of the silver lining.
"Hope was what defined them." - Absolutely!
I was all settled in for one of your lovely darkfics and wasn't disappointed at all. As an added treat, you've iced the cake with a wee tad of humor (Aris), decorated it with tidbits of profundity, and then finished it off with our couple clinging to one another with a lingering sense of foreboding.
