Fantastic twist on the insult!
You are weaving a great tale where both the relationship and circumstances are nail biting.
Thank you.

Ouch, that remark must have hurt!
Even I'm surprised they dated after that kind of first impression.
Poor Elizabeth! She had a difficult life, didn't she? Smart sisters, parents who expected a lot but refused to get her tested for dyslexia... How hard it must have been to find a suitable career and become financially independent!
Sad that the knocking was not a rescue team. :(

I love this story and I adore the scenes, where they are snuggles, this are so sweet and tender, that I am melted. Thank you for updates for this story. You rock!

Gah! I suspected the knock was not a rescue but hoped I was wrong! What an awful way for Elizabeth to meet Darcy! How DID they start dating?

I both loved and was saddened by Elizabeth's background in this story. Different learning styles are absolutely normal, particularly among gifted individuals, and it's terrible when kids don't get the support they need to thrive because their brightness in one area makes people minimize their legitimate struggles in another area. My son is twice exceptional like that, and it took a lot of testing (at our expense), self-education, and pushing to get his school to work with his two types of dyslexia and not just hold him back a grade. I hope your story reaches a lot of people who need to hear it, both for their own sakes and for the way they treat others.

This is a twist, how Lizzy must have struggled against her family’s egotistical attitude toward her dyslexia.

Actually I did catch on. The thought definitely crossed my mind in the discussion of her career path vs. those of her family, and her less than stellar exam results. Shame on the school system for not ferreting that out or meeting her needs. One more who fell through the cracks. Probably also a generational issue, in more ways than one. I just failed to put all the pieces together, or even catch all the pieces.

Oh my goodness. I never caught on. Blast it. Either you put that in so subtly, or there is so much else going on that I was distracted. I have two of them. Brilliant, but frustrated, and not convinced they measure up. Interesting non denial of their relationship, and even perpetuating the myth. Incredibly rough beginning, but also very revealing. He must completely hate himself now, especially being in the medical profession. Why do I have the feeling these two pieces of information are going to become significant - the drugs and the reversals? I desperately hope Kitty makes it through.

At this point, surely, Help must be aware of their position, what with transponders and black boxes signals and all... surely they’re only waiting for the weather to calm to be on their way (though there’s a chance that theybassume everyone is dead, so... maybe useful help will wait a little more). I do wonder whether the newcomer will be able to shed some light on anything.
Poor Elizabeth, feeling that she had to hide her disability to not be thought ”less” - and yay, Kitty!
Really hoping that Darcy clarifies that he does find her brilliant (and urgh, her family).
Sorry for the rambling. Loving this story (even thpugh one needs blankets and hot cocoa at hand because - cold!).
The food situation in the plane does have me a little worried, particularly if the rescue team thinks there’s no way for survivors to still be alive, so why rush...
