Happy Birthday @mama-sally I hope you have a wonderful birthday and that my hideous excuse for Gideon Grey is worthy.

I know we discussed some scenarios for these two and I know wildehopp$ is my life but basically to summarize the picture

It took Judy a few years to be accepted into the academy. Gideon laughed hard the first year she was denied. But every year after that when she was denied he started to admire her for her steadfastness and perseverance and basically her inability to give up on her goal. She makes him realize that he can take his hobby of baking from his kitchen to making it a full fledged business. and he gets the keys to his bakery the same week she is finally accepted into the academy. And his feelings continue to grow for her while she is gone but he would never tell her because he used to be her bully so when they meet again at her family’s fruit stand he apologizes hoping that he can at least be her friend.

anyways.

My dear, you inspire me and make me laugh. Your writing is the best, absolutely and your gift of listening to my salty words makes me feel warm inside.

Happy Birthday!
