I really enjoyed your story, Sue, especially for the Suffolk references. Although I now live in Scotland, I still think of myself as an East Anglian. My favourite indie bookshop is in Aldeburgh.

Fantastic story, Sue. This one tugged at the ole heart strings, as it’s somewhat similar to what happened to me at one point in my life. Luckily I made the call, we reconnected, and my wife and I will celebrate 12 years of marriage later this year. Couldn’t be happier. 😊

This story held my interest until the -- I won't say "bitter" end, rather, the uncertain end. Created mixed emotions. The romantic in me wanted her to rekindle, since hubby didn't much appeal to me, but I'd be stricken with sympathy for him. It's a good story that doesn't tie the possible ending in a tidy bow.
