OMGβ€ can you give us a snippet of a turning point?
Lol I canβt believe someone actually likes this fic enough to want a snippet? Especially after 2 years haha. But wow that means like a lot. Like SO SO much.
Anyway I thought I was abandoning this fic but in the past four days Iβve written almost 20k words?
Have a snippet anon. Youβve made me happier than Iβve been in a longtime.

And for the first time, James Potter didnβt feel the need to act. To speak. To push for more. He justβ¦ let her stay. For as long as she wanted.
