Dang. This is just all kinds of wonderful. I adore the wandering, dreamy passages through John's memories, the warm sensuality of how he remembers Mary, the intensity of his love for her and how he wants forever with her. Just ... guh.
And I so didn't see Sara coming. I wondered why she was there, guessed she was an old friend, even perhaps another hunter, but I thought maybe they had some other reason for meeting in a graveyard ... but not this! I had to go back and re-read the passages where she's watching him prepare the grave for burning, just to savor the scene.
Again, you do such lovely work with the hidden depths of John's heart, showing his compassion for her in his own blunt way, just before he throws in the match. Simply gorgeous. I am definitely saving this to memories. Lovely, lovely look at John. Thanks for this. :-) Cheers ~
