I loved this story. It was very well-written and had me on the edge of my seat during the sacrifice scene. The play on names was brilliant. I loved the ending. Well done, HH!
I'm glad you liked it. I've loved getting all the notifications from you reacting to my stories. It's nice to know that my older stories are still appreciated. Thank you so much!
Very true about Seth, but it's amazing what people can be blind to.
As for John being uncharacteristically bold in the second half... well, his goal was 'to be wild and free'. I'd say he met his goal quite well. Thanks for your comments.
