Three dollars and some change

I'm one of those non-commenting readers (well, I was), but I'm glad to hear that you are ignoring that particular reader. While I can accept that someone may not like a particular pairing in a story, that does not give anyone the right to question the way that an author may tell that story.

It is a privilege to read a well written piece of fiction, and I feel deeply privileged that you want to share your tale with us.
