Oh that's gorgeous! Reminds me of my relationship with my sister although neither of us can claim 'rare beauty' status:) Lovely dialogue with a good mix of narrative!

I often write myself notes such as "We'll fix it in post!" Which I stole from the Simpsons, I think. Post-production in the literary sense meaning editing. :)[/quote]

Think I might have to share that around as well :) Thnx!!

Cool stuff David.

I can't quite put my finger on WHY I liked them, but I really enjoyed your "surprised distance" and "interrupting sister"s.

It's a neat opportunity to value add there, which you've done, to create more of a sense of emotion. :)
