    I was not able to leave a comment either, but seems like I can now. . .Smashing story, I, too, liked that she gave it another shot.

    Susan, Linda, MaryAnne, Kathy- Thanks very much for reading. Blogger often seems to have comments issues- Thanks too for taking time to post here instead.

    Writing this quiet little piece, it seemed obvious that trying again is a lot of what this character and her story (I expect there's more, there always is) are about. So obvious I didn't think about it much, I guess, because when I was writing the last scene, it didn't occur to me that the last line would summarize, or had. It just seemed true to character.

    All this by way of saying thanks, Linda and MaryAnne, for your comments on that. Pointed out something I'm happy about, and hadn't realized :)
