River Solomon is a master in emotion. Everything they write leaves me ravenous for more. 

This short story is packed full. More than the words themselves.

Right in the FEELS
The only issue I have with this short story is that I would have read an entire novella about Sully.

OOF. I loved this one as well. I somehow wish it was longer while simultaneously knowing it was exactly what it was meant to be.
