Oh my, thank you so much! It's always sooo nice to get a surprise comment months after you posted something, I really appreciate it.

As far as the flashbacks go, I spent a lot of time fiddling around with the placement and the length and generally second-guessing myself, so I'm especially glad they came across well. Actually, everything you said is something I'm glad to hear. *g* This was all pretty new for me and it's nice to know that sometimes your ventures into the unknown pay off. Thank you again, very much!
