Wow, I'm so glad I came back to revisit this fic! I read it right after Goodbye, Toby and was floored by the respect you give all the characters and the eloquence with which you accomplish it. You make Andy just as sympathetic as Dwight and I really appreciated that because, to me at least, he's kind of an OK guy. Your handle on Angela is also extremely well done. You stay a safe distance away from making her overly religious and you really flesh out a lot of her psyche and thought process in a way that was very honest and real.

A salesman’s handshake. For some odd reason, this thought makes her terribly and inexplicably sad.

That line broke my heart right along with Angela's. Your writing is just so gorgeous and always so earnest. And now, going back, I realize that I may have been influenced by your description of Angela's Fourth of Julys when I wrote my story, it really was unintentional but I apologize anyways :| Overall, amazing story, amazing writing, amazing.

P.S. I adore your little shout out to the Cape :)

Author's Response: I haven\'t been in to check my own reviews in awhile, so I missed out on this one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a kind review! I\'m proud of this little story and a bit sad that it fell through the cracks a bit. But knowing that someone enjoyed it like you did makes up for it. :-) Thanks again!
