I'm receiving comments, which to me matters more than score, and I'm humbled by the ones I'm getting.
"This is off to a delightful start."
"This was a sweet story."
"Very cute story with believable characters."
"I like the characterization of the two very much."
"So far very sweet. Keep it coming!"
Awww, thank you for all those. I do plan on continuing as I have basic outline through chapter six and chapter two is currently being written. For those asking 'don't disappear or abandon this', rest assured that I plan on continuing this to a logical conclusion. It's not going to be an epic, like some I've seen here, but maybe a sequel?
Again, thanks for all the positive e-mail.
