There was a song I wanted to post along with this chapter, but my desktop has a blown power supply, and I'm running everything from my netbook at the moment, so I can't access it. It wasn't the inspiration for the last scene (which was written waaaaay early in the process, and has been patiently waiting in the wings), but it perfectly encapsulates my vision of Ed at that point. ("Rootless Tree", by Damien Rice, if you're interested) I swear, I must've cackled aloud for ten or fifteen minutes the first time I heard it, because it is exactly what is happening in my head there. Ed's 'love song', ha!
But that tangent aside, I am extremely happy that you enjoyed this chapter. Yes, it was difficult to write, but it's totally worth it when I see that it's working as I'd hoped. Even after the super-long hiatus (which I still feel bad about). Thanks so much for hanging with it!
