    There is nothing I don't like about this; everything is perfect. Even though it began with a fight, we could see how much he meant to her as she woke up, hoping to see him before he left. And we could see how much she meant to him when he was coming back. For some reason, I was expecting the worst when he came into the house, but was very relieved when she was only sleeping.

    Of course, the ending was my absolute favorite part. Such petty things to do to each other, but still so adorable. I loved this... if you couldn't already tell.

    I AM GOING TO PREFACE THIS by saying I have no idea about Markipler (100% spelled wrong lmao) but I am reading this as OG fiction and also enjoy your layout.

    I like that this starts with a fight. So many lovey-dovey stories start with love, and it's nice to see something start with a slight regret, if that's the right phrase. Y'know, like arguments are a staple part of relationships and this just has this realism right from the get-go that makes me believe more in the concept. Also SCUSE THEM FOR SCARING A DOG. R00D. Then you've got this whole idea that they're still mad at one another, but he can't sleep without her there and she gets upset without him there. It's such a beautiful juxtaposition, the polar opposite of the anger against the need to be together and I think that just about sums up arguments within a relationship tbh. And the whole leaving a note and then disappearing, but having this unspoken nod of "yeah, I'm sorry, and we'll make it up later" again stinks of a relationship. This while thing is just so realistic and I love it. It's not massively romantic or anything, but you still get that idea of Tessa and Mark (see THAT'S EASIER TO SPELL) being totally head-over heels. I like that - not everything is huge bouquets of flowers and dancing naked waiters and whatever else people do to show love to one another. It's little things like in this that make it such a sweet read. Well, up until the end. I'd literally kill anybody if they reset any of my save files. I'm on Mark's side for that. lmfao

    BUT ANYWAY this was lovely, and read as such a sweet little piece. Nice job!

    What a beautiful piece exploring the depths of a celebrity relationship. I think you captured Mark so well in this! I can see him reacting, feeling, and doing all the things in this piece. I really liked how you explored taking each other for granted in this piece. It really makes you stop to think of how to treat your loved ones.

    I laughed so hard at the end when she said she restarted his game! It was a really fun and playful ending to such a beautifully written piece!
