Finally had a chance to finish this, and I have to say as I sit here smiling - I loved it!
What a sweet tale, and though I had to look back to be sure, I just knew the blue-checked scarf from 20 years ago was the one from current day. I’m not going to question or ponder how this is possible, I’m simply going to accept that it is possible - and magical.
Well done, tim, well done!
PS: Don’t know how or where you came up with the name Evo, but I really like it and think it magnifies the charm of this story.
