Comments included the following:
- "I enjoyed this so much! The present tense works well, conveying a here and now kind of happiness we so rarely get a glimpse of in Ralph. Your last line is wonderfully satisfying, thank you!"—comment by trueriver
- "This is lovely. I really like the awareness Ralph has about the different interpretations he and Laurie would put on his past. That rings very true."—comment by fawatson
