Walter, you've penned a true love story. The drama of love and it's turbulent journey, ultimately, of course, leading to a happy ever after. Lovely work and congratulations on your win. Bravo!

Congrats on the win, I can see why this grabbed the attention. I think you have created the 2021 fairytale story here, can totally picture this being a Disney hit !

I think it took the reader a great journey and had lots of parts where I wasn’t sure which direction you would take it, but I was left relieved when the ending brought them together .

It is sad as it made me think back to the old days where races really were not allowed to meet at all, I know personally in my family, it was my great great grandparents who had to run away to be together and leave their families and countries, but I forget if this was race, or religion that forced them to do this. It’s hard to think so much of the world still works this way, but also great to know that so many are now proud to stand up and fight for love .... like you say in your ending eternal flames will be what they are meant to be!!

Great piece
