As usual, am in love with this chapter!
The suffering they both went through during their separation, mentally and physically, were so much!
But the last line brings hope in that they're both determined to get past all that has happened and concentrate on the future!
There are so many things I wanted to comment on but I just can't gather my thoughts enough to make a decent one, but suffice it to say that it's all good!
Thanks again for a wonderful update!
