I loved the twist in the tale! How could the proposal be so misjudged? Well done & thanks

Ah, you know June, 2020 didn’t happen, really. So … technically you’re still one year younger! Now isn’t that a silver lining? Great poem, as corroborated by all who commented already! And only the best wishes for your non-birthday.

Haha! SO relatable! Well done!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Stevie!

Well that is a very quotable quote, Limor – Hindsight is beautiful when you can use it – Thank you for this feedback, I’m stoked!

Thank you Jane, and apologies for the poor editing. I should up my game there. I’m glad you liked the story!

Hi SMP – thanks for the comments. I don’t as yet have any further plans for Monica. She just presented herself to me this month.
I did mean for it to be “wing” – to reference her idea of herself as an angel. Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you Michael! Really appreciate the comments.

I’m very pleased you liked it, Bronwen! Thanks so much!

Thank you for stopping by Ramnaj!
