I'm crying. The grose "that hit home" runny nose type of crying. This story... with every chapter I read, this story feels so personal to me. As a sub trying to deal with the complicated misgivings of dating my dom, you have managed to put into words most of our biggest problems and fears. This morning I was hell bent on saying goodbye to one of the best people to ever come into my life, the most important one, because of stupid small details. Because my way of loving is unconventional and perverse and for the longest time I thought that meant I couldn't have a good healthy relationship, didn't deserve one... but your story is giving me hope. Not to mention a slap in the face because I just realized that much like Liza I have been wallowing in my own doubts and conclusions to our problems without giving my partner the chance to put a word in. I have been... am so scared of his true feelings that I have been making decisions for both of us. This last conversation between Liza and Mike just made me realize that sometimes not working out smoothly doesn't really mean not working out. Perhaps your idea in writing this was not particularly for your story to be so therapeutic but for me it is. And I just want to tell you, as I have in other comments, that I love this story not only because of the plot and the wonderful graphics but because of it's depth. It's real. It's personal, and so encouraging. To know that in this non traditional type of romance I'm not as lost or wrong as I thought. Thank you so much for writing this story. I look forward to the rest.

Thank you, thank you, thank you~
