A mother missing her daughter's entire childhood so that daughter can grow up to invent time travel ā and the greatest sacrifice in the story is framed as an act of love rather than loss. The ending with Al singing as they dance is a quiet payoff that works really well. Nicely done.
Yeah, I thought a lot about that. The plot required that Al raise the daughter alone. I had to find a way, consistent with my understanding of Anneās character, to persuade her to consent to that.
The giant web of time traveling here is fascinating!
Great writing, and Iām looking forward to reading the next part of the story!
Thanks. Hope you like it.
