Oh, con drop is the worst, isn't it? It sounds like you had a fantastic time, but that aftermath....I'm glad I helped to cheer you a bit!
No, you're right - you pretty much had aspirin or opiates. And no antibiotics, aaaagh! If you got a bad infection you were pretty much screwed. :(
Jamie's parents do love him, I figure, but sort of distantly. And Jamie probably wouldn't have called his mother mummy if he weren't medicated, but I think there's at least a part of him that's touch-starved and needy.
Well spotted you! Yep, it was in English until Shezan reminded me that it should have been in Latin. I'm so glad you liked the reunion! It felt so good to have them together again, even if, as you say, they're going to have to cope with the real world. After so much time spent apart, they're very ready to be together, but it's not going to be a cakewalk....
Thank you! I'm headed to Con*Strict - my last one, I think, and back to writing soon after! Thank you SO much for the thoughtful feedback!!
