I finally got a chance to listen to this today, and it sounded great! ♥

I'm sort of delighted by your comments about this story being a good way to get to know Arkady, because that's basically why I wrote it. I had actually started on "Everything That You Can Keep" and just kept stalling out because I didn't have a good grip on Arkady's character, and I had to go back and write this story about him to figure him out. So I'm glad it worked that way for you, too, and I hope you got that hug! :)
