This ending is just heart-breakingly real.

I've read a lot of fics where the dialogue from Casino Night is used in different situations, but your use really hit me. Amazing job.
Author's Response: Thank you. Glad you liked it.

“I just needed you to know.”
“Once.”
OK - those last 2 lines killed me. Such a beautifully sad story and then those 2 heartbreaking lines.
Author's Response: Thanks. I was hesitant to use it, but I think it works. I guess you could say it was a cruel way for her to depart, but that's how it ends.

This is so true to life it's not even funny. If Jim had never come back...this is what would have happened when they met again. Excellent story.
Author's Response:
Thank you. That's what I was hoping to accomplish by writing it. That sometimes, you have to take a chance, because you might not get another one.

Wow. So sad, and yet so very accurate to how life can be sometimes.
I LOVED this statement:
"The closure they both wanted -- no, needed -- is striking in its finality. It’s almost unreal. But their time passed them by."
Haven't we all felt that before...whew.
Really nice job with this, so simple, so sad, and yet so true in its message.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. It sounded a lot better in my head, so I'm glad some of it made its way to the paper.
