I just finished reading this and the prequel. You have amazing writing skills.
As messy and John and Dakota's relationship seemed, it was perfect. It was great to see that after all the shit they put each other through, they got married, bought a house, and had an adorable baby boy.
I refused to read that for a bit. once I saw that you had "completed" as the status. I was like 'No. I don't want it to end." but, it ended perfectly, I loved it so much. You're such a great writer. :D
