        An amazing little piece. A friend recommended your writing and this is the first one I read. Hits close to home in a lot of ways --  all good. Thanks  (10/10)

        This is writing at its best. Coming up with a short that is at the same time funny, moving, intelligent and oh-so-true, is no small feat. All hail to thee, Ashley Zacharias. JJ (10/10)

        A perfect gem - no gymnastics or fireworks but a true love story, and one which turned me on. Thank you. (10/10)

        My wife and I fall into the same age as the characters in the story. Totally relate with it, now I wonder if I can convince my wife to give me an hour of her time to this story out? I twould be awsome! Thanks Ashley, very well written. (10/10)

        Fine piece of psychological realism, carefully modulated and paced. (9/10)

        Ashley, this was magnificent.  There are some that would be disappointed but the story is balanced perfectly.  I have enjoyed some of your darker offerings and would enjoy seeing more of that sort as well, but I enjoyed this gentle little scenario with equal relish. Don't stop, I for one look forward to your next story. (10/10)
