I appreciated the gradual revelation of Sam's condition and what happened between him and Lucy, and I agree that the length of the story makes it such a memorable, melancholy yet hopeful glimpse into these characters' lives. (On a lighter note, I love the detail that Lucy is an unemployed paleontologist?!)Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463564632660683887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602000112951135525.post-5279358237547779982021-08-02T06:04:05.013-07:002021-08-02T06:04:05.013-07:00Catarina, oh my goodness, this is the nicest compl...Catarina, oh my goodness, this is the nicest compliment I've ever received about a story!

There's a piece of popular wisd...Oh my god, EJ!<br />There's a piece of popular wisdom here and I'll try to share it: the story of a woman who wanted more frosting in her favorite cupcake—she complained so much about it that the Baker decided to give her the MOST frosting ever. And she took one bite, and felt like "yes, this is truly what I wanted", but by the second bite she couldn't keep going; it was too sweet. She found out that the Baker had been right all along; by giving her what she thought she wanted, she was missing what she truly needed.<br />That's all to say you were right, and this story being short was the right call.<br />You said before this story probably wasn't too devy, but oh wow, it really is *really* devy! Not only the physical stuff, but the mental too. All of the subtext and the things unsaid, I love it all so much. This feels like an interlude between Sam and Lucy's story, and what a sweet one it was! You've given us enough that I can see what came before and what's yet to come, and it's perfect. You're the baker!! Hahaha<br /><br />I hope we get to read more of your stories, however long or short they are!
