I am so sorry it's taken me so long to comment! I hope you know I loved it ♥ It's so good that you kept it all tied in with Neal's motivations and it affects the story line and everything (also, you write him super well! My opinion on him has been mixed recently - spoilers so I won't say anything - and you reminded me why I love the character!!!)

Thank you, very much <3

(psst - you should head to the leveragexchange comm *g*)
