Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

Thanks so much! ♥ eee, it's totally great to know Balthazar worked here - I might have liked my mental re-casting a bit too much for my own good but I thought it was fitting. ;) And it's really good to know you liked the quotes use too - I always worry that I might be overdoing it when I start quoting people, but in this case it felt kind of justified. And eeeh, I think that the story agrees with you because it didn't want to end either - when I looked at my final wordcount I couldn't believe it got this long. ;) Thanks again! ♥
