*hugs and cookies* all round!
As Slurpeez’s quote from MM says–if two people are supposed to be together, they will find a way. I think we all know it might not be the easy way, but that is what makes it a good story.
That’s really what most of us want, a good story, where characters we have come to relate to manage to find some happiness despite the pain of their lives.
And while we cannot control what goes down in this story–I too am glad to have a group of friendly people willing to discuss it (in this thread, and the larger forum too….).
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
