It's been quite a while. It seems that you are making a number of breakthroughs over here. I love the slow dance story. So romantic, and what a nice surprise!
I like the discussion of DBing, Part the Second, as Piecing has its own set of challenges. It's so difficult to be here, and you thought that getting over the newcomers hump was hard! For me, "winning" S. back and then getting hurled into the Piecing cauldron made me wonder if I really wanted what I asked for. In your cse, it seems that the answer is a resounding Yes.
