Nice few stories with decent characters It was a bit... resistant in ways that get to me after a bit, but it could have been worse. I much prefer the other teacher/student (bdsm one) to the first one here.

Well! That pulled at the heartstrings. Third story of the first couple, beware. It's hard and it'll make me bawl again, but omg, it was good. (And it's still a happy ending.) Second, childhood friends. I love how it wasn't that hard, that they regretted losing the time, but recognized some of it had to happen that way. I liked their relationship. Third was hard. Good, but hard. They both had such a hard time and I felt so sorry for both of them. This one made me tear up too. Great ending. So happy. These are definite rereads. Like the other I've read, wonderful stories. (Story 1: pages 1 - 75) Hot secretary and jealous president. (Story 2: pages 76 - 129) More interesting than the first. An art director and photographer finally acknowledge feelings they've held for years. (Story 3: pages 130 - 211) Machiya Hatoko has so much insight into the heart, and this story about two very lonely and alienated men — one the victim of abuse, the other, a man who isolated himself from love because of tragedy — who open up to each other in kindness and, so, find true love, is one of the best romances I've ever read. A story like this is so beautiful, it might even heal some readers.
